It is built on 29.1 acres of freehold land, and is the first Signature Series in the Elmina Green precinct. The RM255.2 million Elmina Green Four features 349 units of 2-storey linked homes with land sizes of 20ft by 70ft, and 20ft by 80ft.
With close to 8,000 linked homes built in the City of Elmina, Sime Darby Property continues to build sustainable and functional homes for all types of families, with emphasis on wellness, community, and sustainability.
The first phase of Elmina Green Four was launched in March 2021. A total of 98 units (71 are 20ft by 70ft and the rest are 20ft by 80ft) were launched and they were taken up in 2 minutes. Due to this overwhelming response, the developer released another 91 units for online and public walk-in bookings, and they were sold out in less than a day.

Stage 3 consisted of 89 units of Elmina Green Four, and it was open for booking in April 2021.

Use of space is vital to meet the demands of the new norm of working and studying from home. The Signature Series is developed to offer a new benchmark for conventional linked homes, by introducing larger spaces, practical design features, and quality fittings.
The City of Elmina is a 6,500-acre master planned development built in a holistic and green environment to nurture a healthy lifestyle. There are 1,118 acres of parklands, 90km of cycling and jogging track, and a commercial hub.

Project Details
Elmina Green Four is located in the City of Elmina, a wellness-centric township that’s next to the 2,700-acre Subang Dam Forest Reserve. The development features 349 units of 2-storey linked homes in 2 different lot sizes – 20’ x 70’ and 20’ x 80’. These units are targeted at young and multi-generational families, and those looking for a home upgrade.
As part of the Signature Series, the bedrooms in Elmina Green Four are generous in space, with room for a queen-sized bed, study table, and full height wardrobe. Additionally, each bedroom comes attached with a bathroom that comes with full height tiles, mirror, and premium sanitary wares. Homeowners can choose to turn their flexible spaces into a study area, a home office, an additional bedroom, a home gym, or a family area.
According to the developer, this first edition of the Signature Series by the City of Elmina features:
- 25% more space compared to the average built-up by similar projects in the Klang Valley
- A dedicated flexible suite which is ideal as a home office, children’s playroom or guest bedroom
- En-suite bathrooms for all 4 bedrooms
- High-quality fixtures and FittingsPlus+ such as built-in security grilles, air-cond piping, water heaters, booster pump and outdoor water filter
- 200m tree-lined welcome boulevard
- 2 football field-sized parks
- 15 neighbourhood facilities
Elmina Green Four’s design elements include rustic brick veneer cladding and pitched roofs that add a timeless look to the exterior. The interior has an open-plan layout that allows more natural light and airflow into the home. The multi-generational home also caters to the elderly, with features like ramps and a sliding door to the bathroom on the ground floor.
The units also come with branded sanitaryware, laminated timber flooring on the first floor, a built-in alarm system, and mineral wool roof insulation. The houses’ insulation helps regulate indoor temperature for better thermal comfort, while providing an additional safety measure due to its fire-resistant attribute.
The homes also come with FittingsPlus+, such as an outdoor water filter, built-in security grilles, air conditioning power points and ducts, booster water pump and water heaters. These value-added features were well-received in the previous developments in the City of Elmina, and they provide purchasers with a hassle-free move-in experience.
