This luxurious, low-density gated and guarded development is located in fast- growing Cyberjaya, Malaysia’s IT hub. The project has a gross development value (GDV) of RM900mil.

Recognised as the ‘best value’ property development in that area today, it spreads over 50 acres of prime freehold land and is designed with the concept of inviting the outdoors in.

Sejati Residences contains only 249 homes on 40 acres of land comprising bungalow, semi-detached, courtyard villa and superlink homes which are open and spacious.

Featuring double volume ceilings, wide doorways, ventilated roofs and expansive windows with north-south orientation, the homes allow natural light in and fresh air to flow indoors.

Sejati Residences boasts a central linear park with over 1 ,200 mature trees surrounded by an 8km jogging and cycling track that stretches across the whole development

In addition, eco-friendly fittings such as energy-saving hybrid DC hot water systems, water-saving aerated taps and dual-flush systems in the toilets complement the developer’s sustainability efforts.

The homes open into a lush central linear park with over 1,200 mature trees surrounded by an 8km jogging and cycling track that stretches across the whole development, reaching the doorstep of every home.

The award-winning “Chengal House” is the epitome of Sejati Residences’ quest for a world-class sustainable development. More than just a clubhouse with a myriad of facilities, it is the country’s first purpose- built structure that propagates the use of upcycled, 200-year-old chengal wood salvaged from a 70-year-old factory owned by Paramount Property.

The architects created a natural sun-shading green wall using Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete louvres and metal mesh screen, which contribute to ventilation and cooling effect.

Moreover, evaporation from the wading and infinity swimming pools helps keep the place cool. Vertical creeper plants outside provide a natural, low- maintenance sun-shade.

Residents have plenty of recreational amenities to choose from including an 8km jogging track, a children’s playground, outdoor exercise equipment, a multi-purpose court, a spice and herb garden, and a bird bath.
