Perennia Residence, Bandar Rimbayu

Actual photo of finished project Perennia, which was in Phase 2

Bandar Rimbayu is a massive township encompassing over 1,879 acres. With a gross development value of RM 11 billion incorporating residential, commercial and recreational components which will take 15 to 20 years to complete ─ it’s progress is charted by developmental phases in four distinct precincts.

The 4 precincts

The four precincts are:

• Flora

Comprising mixed residential components, schools and recreational amenities. This precinct includes link and strata homes, condominiums and apartments. Prominent in this precinct is the “anchor” of the whole township called The Arc ─ Bandar Rimbayu’s 10,000sqm communal green space and social gathering venue to relax, play, have fun, bond and belong in a close-knit neighbourhood.

Rimbayu’s Show Gallery and 16-acre Rimbayu Club Village with swimming pools and other sports and recreational features are also located here.

• Fauna

This precinct showcases mixed residential components (from link homes to bungalow units), schools and neighbourhood shops. Within both Flora and Fauna precincts, there is available space for the creation of a quality retirement village/home.

• Bayu

This 270 acres of wetland areas will be transformed into a high-end waterfront residences by a lake, or along the waterfront in full view of seemingly unending water vistas.

• Commercial Hub

This is the commercial centre with canal city charm, cul de sacs and walkways dispersing into town squares with plenty of F and B outlets. Part of this precinct, parallel to South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), raises the potential for warehouse/storage leasing by F and B suppliers, fashion apparel manufacturers, wine merchants and global courier service companies. Land parcels have been allocated for the possible development of shopping malls, big box retail and also private education institutions and medical institutions. To complement these likely commercial setups, service apartments will also be built in the Commercial Hub.

Facilities

The Arc

As the story of Rimbayu begins at The Arc  ̶  the green centrepiece representing one of many shared facilities available for residents  ̶  it will be featured first before the project proper of Perennia Residence.

This arc-shaped canopy which embraces a sizeable communal green deck measuring 10,000sqm is the living and evolving education showcase of sustainable living.

There, are more than 50,000 trees planted here, along with palms, shrubs, vegetable and herb gardens, as well as aquatic plants and climbers. Included into this are aspects of recycling, harnessing the power of nature and minimizing wastage of natural resources.

Incorporated in The Arc are these design features:

• A Green Roof Deck insulates and filters collected rainwater before discharging to the canal waterways. The water is channelled through drips at each column grown with climbing plants, thereby promoting evaporative cooling as breeze passes through. This emulates the process of nature and provides a lesson in how the natural environment works.
• The Recreational Canal is simultaneously a rainwater collection vessel, the contents of which can be reused for irrigation of plants and vegetable gardens ̶  such as the spice garden housing different types of vegetables and herbs.

• Community Vegetable Gardens promote integration among residents and education on the values being self-reliant, fostering cooperation and the principles of growing and harvesting agricultural produce.
• The Canopy Walkway also allows the space below to function as a pedestrian street for shop-lots and amenities.
• The Ramp provides pedestrian access to the green roof deck that serves an upper level pedestrian network of garden paths.
• Designed for an Active, Wholesome and Healthy Lifestyle through walking and cycling, sports, leisure games, exercise and recreation as well as community interaction such as social activities, gatherings, or even carnivals .

The Arc has received the ILAM MLAA Excellence Award, Professional Category ─ Landscape Design Awards.

Bandar Rimbayu has been awarded the green township status certified by Green Building Index (GBI).
