Acclaimed green development sits on freehold land in an award-winning township
Eco-friendly buildings have a positive effect on the surrounding environment and ecosystems. In addition, many aspects of green living bring an economic advantage to the residents such as water and energy efficiency, less maintenance cost and higher property value.
The fact that these buildings are located in an award-winning township provides a value-added proposition to that property development. Molek Pine 4 in Taman Molek, a project by Tanjung Molek Sdn Bhd, is one such green development.
Potential buyers are offered an appealing combination: an award-winning apartment complex in an award-winning township.
Taman Molek was awarded the Outstanding Achievement in Residential Development by the Asean Association for Planning and Housing (AAPH), Best Township by the Johor Baru City Council, and Best Maintained Township by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government.
Molek Pine 4 is a luxurious, low-density apartment complex with exclusive resort-style facilities.
This 37-storey complex sits on 6.24 acres of freehold land and has only 260 units with sizes ranging from 1,441 to 6,042 sq ft.
Molek Pine 4 was accorded Malaysia’s 1st Residential New Construction (High-Rise) Green Building Index Platinum rating certification on design assessment by the GBI Accreditation Panel and the First Iskandar Green Accord Initiative Award by the Iskandar Regional Development Authority.
Last year, the project earned the Best Sustainable Development Award (Excellence) and the Best High-Rise Residential Development Award (Excellence) categories by Starproperty.my Awards 2017: Jewels of Johor. Molek Pine 4 also garnered the Special Award for Rainwater Harvesting System (Year 2013-2014) by the Johor Baru City Council as well as the Best Landscape for Resort Living (Champion).
Taman Molek is a township that consists of 16 (international and domestic) banks and financial institutions as well as telecommunications, shipping and logistics hubs.
The project contributes to a higher quality of life by advocating a leisurely lifestyle with the Ponderosa Golf & Country Club, cafes and bistros, spas and beauty parlours as well as shopping centres and hypermarkets.
Exclusive resort-style facilities including an electric vehicle charging station, recreational areas such as a koi pond, plus a clubhouse with built-in gardens and a water feature at the entrance add an exclusive feel to the development. Another outstanding feature is the male and female Onsen (Japanese Spa).
Apart from the benefits gained from an eco-friendly residence, people will also be positively affected when living in nurturing spaces.
Clean and positive environments will promote good health and well-being. The cross-stack ventilation in Molek Pine 4, along with the usage of organic and chemical-free materials as well as natural lighting will greatly enhance the wellness of residents.
Molek Pine 4 also features a rainwater harvesting system as well as treatment and recycling of greywater, solar photovoltaic panels, and LED lights to advocate green living.
The apartment complex is designed in a north-south orientation to effectively reduce solar heat and maximise ventilation and daylight.
Apart from green living, Molek Pine 4 also supports a healthy lifestyle by providing bicycle parking and electric vehicle charging.
More importantly, the development provides long-term benefits for future generations by being a trailblazer for high-rise developments to incorporate eco-friendly features.
