GreenCasa @ CyberSouth

GreenCasa, literally translating to green home, is a leasehold double storey terrace house located in CyberSouth, Dengkil. The residence along with the township of Cybersouth was developed by MCT Berhad. Entering as a new player into the property development field in the year 1999, MCT Berhad slowly rose to become the top 15 in the field with a market capitalization of RM 1.5 billion as of 2015. As a residence, GreenCasa isn’t exactly located in the most strategic of locations, but would be an expedient choice for professionals working in the Silicon Valley of Cyberjaya with over 500 multinational companies located within a 10 km radius. To ensure that GreenCasa lives up to its name, the developers have gone to serious lengths to ensure it delivers on its promise of a green home. The developers have achieved this by surrounding the area of GreenCasa with lush greenery in the form of a 25 acre central park and by including cul-de-sac road networks throughout the township. Rarely heard of in Asian suburban neighborhoods, a cul-de-sac is a circular dead end. The use of cul-de-sac is shown to reduce traffic on residential streets; thus, reducing noise, air pollution and the probability of accidents. The cul-de-sac street is also an excellent employment of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) by the architects of CyberSouth. This decrease in traffic, in turn, is thought to lower the incidence of crime because in most cases the people who traverse the cul-de-sac either live there or are guests of those who do. This in turn promotes natural surveillance among neighbors i.e. a strange vehicle in the cul-de-sac would automatically alert neighbors of a possible undesirable visitor. The township of CyberSouth where GreenCasa is located qualifies more like a pit stop instead of a nearby town with around 38 km to KL city center through the Maju Expressway (MEX) and around 41 km through Damansara Puchong Highway (LDP) to the nearest town in Selangor, Petaling Jaya. As one always hears, there’s always a brighter side to things, you just have to look closely enough, which in this case applies true. Cyberjaya is around 6 km while Putrajaya is around 13 km of distance. The KL International Airport is around 20 km from CyberSouth. Consequently, CyberSouth is more appropriate for busy working individuals and people who wish to raise their family away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Although there are a few leisure pursuits nearby in the form of Cyber Valley Commercial Center a few minutes away and Alamanda shopping mall in Putrajaya about 16 km away. But fret not, as modern shopping malls are the only amenity lacking in this town with other important amenities such as Hospital Putrajaya about 10 km away and educational institutions such as SK Dengkil, SMK Dengkil, and UiTM Dengkil located in around 2 km proximity. The township itself is fully updated with facilities in the community clubhouse and central park. The clubhouse grants residents access to a swimming pool, gym and other recreational amenities. The central park in the meantime, provides a more nature friendly access to recreation with jogging and cycling tracks, forest and riverside walks, and landscaped gardens. While a lot has been said about the surrounding of GreenCasa, not much was mentioned about the residence itself. The double storey terrace houses up to 418 units. There are a total of eight different layouts for prospective owners to choose from, and they each vary by intermediate, corner and end lot sizes. The intermediate units Type A and B both have a built-up area of 1,545 sq ft with a lot size of 18’x65’ and 3 bedroom, 3 bathrooms, and 2 bedrooms,3 bathrooms respectively whilst the intermediate unit Type C is 1,719 sq ft with a lot size of 20’x65’ and has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. The end lot units are Type A2 and C2, at 1,913 sq ft and 27’x65’ and 30’x65’ respectively, both have three rooms and three bathrooms. The corner units Type A1, B1, and C1, all have a built-up area of 1,913 sq ft and lot size of 42’x65’, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The units are sold at a range of RM 519,800 to RM 700,000. A maintenance fee of RM0.08 per sq ft will be charged to all residents of GreenCasa. Other interesting projects handled by MCT Berhad include USJ One Avenue Condominium in Subang Jaya, and LakeFront Residence along with The Place in Cyberjaya. Aside from CyberSouth, you can find a treasure trove of real estate investment opportunities in Dengkil such as Putra Intan Kondominium, Bellevue @ CyberSouth and CasaView @ CyberSouth.
