Periwinkle @ Bandar Rimbayu

Periwinkle is a leasehold two storey semi-detached cluster home and bungalow residential development in the premier township of Bandar Rimbayu. This integrated neighborhood is located within Kota Kemuning. Both the township of Bandar Rimbayu and the housing development Periwinkle were developed by IJM Land to realize their dream of a green enclave within Central Malaysia. IJM Land is a multi award winning property developer who has been in the business since 1989. So, what sets Periwinkle apart from its counterparts? The cluster home concept with which Periwinkle is built in is comparatively different to the row house concept that is prevalent in Malaysia. Built in clusters of four, all four houses will have their backyards combined into one square garden. Unlike the row house structure, there will be no back lane for all the houses. Aside from that, residents get to enjoy the added space of a bigger backyard. This would be an added advantage for families with young children as they will be able to allow their children to play in a big space at the safety of their backyard. The absence of a back alley was a result of careful calculation by the developers based on the Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) approach they adopted when building the homes. To further explain, the developers desire to reduce chances of house break-ins by removing possibilities of ease of entry and increasing visibility to public eyes in this case, the neighbors. The township of Bandar Rimbayu is divided into four precincts –flora, fauna, bayu and the commercial hub. Periwinkle is located in the Flora precinct, where there are a mix of residential properties and recreational amenities along with the township’s own international school, The Oasis International School. Along with that, Flora will also contain The Arc, a green canopy that will provide shelter to a football pitch, the Rimbayu Club Village and an expansive car park. Fauna will house bigger housing units, link homes and bungalow units as well as neighborhood shops. Meanwhile, the self explanatory commercial hub aims to provide the charm of Venice with a canal lined by alfresco cafes, designer retail outlets, wine merchants and shopping malls. Also, since Bandar Rimbayu is a sustainable township, medical and educational institutions will be accommodated within the commercial hub. It is easily accessible via Lebuhraya Shah Alam (KESAS), Lebuhraya Kemuning Shah Alam (LKSA) and South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE). The gated community of Periwinkle will also have the facility of perimeter fencing and 24-hour security surveillance. Most of the remaining facilities will be available to residence in The Arc and Bandar Rimbayu Club Village nearby. The preceding facilities included, they also provide jogging tracks, cycling tracks, outdoor exercise equipment, Olympic size swimming pool, badminton and squash courts as well as family karaoke rooms. The structural design of Periwinkle takes pride in the high ceilings and enlarged windows allowing increased air circulation and loads of natural light that defines many high end residences.
