Description
The Republic by Elica: Award-Winning Luxury Living in Kuching
The Republic is a landmark leasehold condominium development situated in one of Kuching's most exclusive addresses, Lorong Kempas 8, Sarawak. Developed by Elica Sdn Bhd as their maiden high-rise project, this property won 'Best Residential Development (East Malaysia)' at the South East Asia Property Awards in 2014. Completed around mid-2015, The Republic was conceived to deliver a resort-style living experience, offering residents privacy and uninterrupted panoramic views of the Kuching skyline.
Concept and Design
Designed by the award-winning architectural firm ZDR, The Republic is defined by its exclusivity and extremely low density. The project sits on a 2-acre parcel of land and consists of two 12-storey towers with a total of only 48 private homes. This unique design features just two spacious apartments per floor, creating a sense of being in a "landed property in the sky." Each residence is serviced by a private lift with a card access system, ensuring ultimate privacy and security.
Project Details and Facilities
The residences at The Republic offer expansive built-up areas, with typical layouts around 3,417 sq ft, featuring configurations such as 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a separate maid's room. High-end finishes include marble flooring in living areas and concealed air-conditioning systems. Residents have access to a comprehensive suite of resort-style facilities, including:
- An infinity salt-water swimming pool
