Damar Residence: Modern Living in Nature's Embrace at Papar, Sabah

Damar Residence is a leasehold serviced apartment situated within Tropika Park City, a new integrated township in Papar, Sabah. Expected to be completed in July 2025, this development is designed for those who appreciate nature and a healthy lifestyle, with a significant portion of the township dedicated to green spaces. The project is a joint venture between Zalam Development (Sabah) Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Zalam Group of Companies, and the government-linked Sabah Urban Development Corporation (SUDC).

Concept and Design

As the first phase of the 40-acre Tropika Park City, Damar Residence is built with a green concept, taking its name from the native Damar tree. A key feature of the township will be a 2.96-acre Central Park, which will serve as a green lung, connected by 2.4km of walking paths and 1.7km of cycling tracks to promote healthy living. The development emphasizes security with a 3-tier surveillance system.

Damar Residence consists of a single 24-storey tower with 360 units. Residents have access to a 2-storey clubhouse which includes a gymnasium, yoga room, co-living lounge, and a multipurpose hall. Other facilities include a swimming pool, children's playground, BBQ area, herb garden, and a car wash bay.
