KUALA LUMPUR: EcoSky, a first integrated commercial development by EcoWorld Development Group Sdn Bhd, celebrated the topping out ceremony of its first residential tower dubbed Aurora on Aug 28.
The 39-storey Aurora tower is the first residential tower amongst three to reach the top.The second tower Basalta has also reached the top standing proudly at 39 storeys tall.
The third and final tower Clarita which was launched in August 2014, is expected to reach the skies at 41 storeys upon completion in 2018.
The 9.6-acre freehold EcoSky is EcoWorld’s maiden project in the Klang Valley and was launched in December 2013.
With a gross development value of RM974mil, EcoSky consists of three residential towers, 144 retail and office lots as well as a commercial pod while approximately 20% of Eco Sky’s land area is reserved as green spaces.
As a GBI, LEEDS and BCA Green Mark certified project, EcoSky is planned to contain a 33,000 sq ft community park, a 55,000 sq ft one-of-a-kind landscaped space at the heart of its commercial centre, and a private clubhouse spanning over 100,000 sq ft.
The clubhouse will hold a two-storey 6,000 sq ft gym, a lap pool wading pool and fun pool, as well as a sky garden and a unique rooftop garden.
Speaking to guests and purchasers, EcoWorld president and chief operating officer Datuk Chang Khim Wah said, “EcoSky embodies the concept of 360º living that represents our commitment to sustainable development, and the creation of a truly holistic offering within a singular location.”
“The commercial hub has been up and running since early this year and we are well on our way to making Eco Sky a lively and vibrant hub not only for its future residents but also for its surrounding community,” said Chang.
EcoSky’s commercial component, The Retail Offices offers over 100 units of retail shops and is designed to accommodate the development’s shopping, dining, entertainment and lifestyle demands, and was handed over in December 2016.
