49% of Tropicana Aman is earmarked for development. The rest will be reserved for public amenities, open spaces, lakes and roads, and 16% of the township will be green space (more than the 10% required by the state government).
There will eventually be almost 9,000 homes in Tropicana Aman. The developer plans for the roads to be two 7m-wide lanes on either side to reduce traffic congestion, with a 2-metre buffer between the road and sidewalks.
To further encourage walking and cycling, bicycle racks will be installed throughout the township. Moreover, the sidewalks will be 3 metres wide – almost triple the typical sidewalk width of regular schemes.
Location
Tropicana Aman is located near Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam. It is connected to numerous roads and highways, including Lebuhraya Shah Alam (KESAS), Lebuhraya Kemuning Shah Alam (LKSA), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), Expressway Lingkaran Tengah (ELITE), and West Coast Expressway (WCE) that directly links Banting to Perak. WCE is expected to be completed in 2020.
The apartment/township is surrounded by multiple facilities and public amenities such as schools, neighbourhood malls, banks, business hubs, and medical centres. Tropicana Aman is also close to other mature townships including Bandar Saujana Putra, Kota Kemuning and Bandar Putera 2. The Kuala Lumpur city centre is 50 minutes away, while the Kuala Lumpur International Airport is 40 minutes from the development.

Analysis
With its location and township planning, Aman 1 at Tropicana Aman could be a good first home for many. Plus, its close proximity to the self-sustained township of Kota Kemuning bodes well for Tropicana Aman. The main commercial area of Kota Kemuning is known as Gamuda Walk, and most amenities are easily accessible within a 10-minute drive. Kota Kemuning has already matured and developers are moving southwards to build another township, known as Bandar Rimbayu.

Summary
Tropicana Aman is a development by Tropicana Corporation Berhad, which is credited for numerous townships nationwide, including Tropicana Gardens, Tropicana Heights, Tropicana Metropark, and Tropicana Residences.
Building a new township is not for all developers, as new townships require different capabilities to support the heavy costs on new infrastructure, create awareness, and gain trust and generate demand from various buyers. Based on their previous townships, Tropicana’s track record points to the ability of executing their townships’ masterplan.
If you are interested in a unit that is priced at RM380,000, your monthly repayment amounts to approximately RM1,692 per month. This is based on a 30-year 90% LTV loan of RM342,000 with an interest rate of 4.3%. The monthly repayment figure is derived from PropertyGuru’s Home Loan Calculator.
Based on PropertyGuru’s Home Loan Eligibility and Affordability Calculator, you would need an approximate gross annual income of RM67,500, with no other monthly debt obligations, to be eligible for a loan amounting to approximately RM348,000. This is assuming that you use 30% of your gross income to repay the loan.
