This is Urbana 2.5 storey Link Bungalows (with lower ground floor) sitting pretty in their enclave.
D’Alpinia Township, Puchong South ─ GPS Coordinates N 2°58’42.4668’, E 101°39’14.3202’ ─ is a 77-acre self-contained integrated township built by Hap Seng Land. It has four distinctive landscaped themes: 1) Tropika (superlink, townshouse and Semi-Ds); 2) Urbana (Bungalows and Link Bungalows); 3) Andana (Condo and Villa) and 4) Business Park D’Alpinia.
D’Alpinia is “different” in the sense that it is one of the very few developments in Malaysia that is based on the “Build Then Sell” (BTS) concept, meaning the homes are completed first with CCC before they are put up for sale, and not the other way around as widely practiced. The show units are within the actual house itself so that buyers get the real deal, such as feeling and seeing the materials used for fittings, floorings and finishings and what it would be like living in that home on that street.
D’Alpinia is a 30-minute drive from the KL City Centre and is strategically located within the southern Golden Triangle of Puchong, Seri Kembangan and Putrajaya with direct access from the LDP expressway.
About URBANA Link Bungalows
Urbana’s sentry. This residential enclave in D’Alpinia is gated and guarded
Urbana is the second phase of development within D’Alpinia. Comprising 64, elegant 2.5-storey Bungalows and 2 and 2.5 storey Link Bungalows, these properties are crafted as homes that meet the needs of discerning homeowners ─ lots of space, lots of privacy and a residence that one can be proud to come home to.
Of the two property types, only a limited number of the Urbana 2.5 storey Link Bungalows remain.
These homes are generously proportioned and built with versatile space. The choices that remain are between Type E Ascending (Built-up ─ 4168sq ft going up to the 2nd floor) with 5+1 bedrooms or Type F Descending (Built-up ─ 4031sq ft going down to the Lower Ground Floor) with 6+1 bedrooms.
All of them feature a contemporary architecture, wide entranceways and a generous balcony.
Left: This is Type F descending 2.5-storey Urbana Link Bungalow. These could be likened to Semi-Ds as they are built two-by-two with a generous surrounding garden and are “conjoined” only at the upstairs lanai as can be seen in the Right picture. Thus both houses are separated and yet linked.

Floor Plan for Type E and Type F. The picture above is Type F.
Selling price begins at RM1.8M for the Link Bungalows and there are very few units left.

For example, purchasers of Astana Heights’ Sandakan Phase 2 units were the first to experience BTS in this East Malaysian city.
Hap Seng Land made its foray into West Malaysia in 2004 and since then, there has been no turning back.
Some of its successful developments in East and West Malaysia include:
- Kingfisher, Kota Kinabalu Township
- Astana Heights, Sandakan Township

- The Horizon Residences, Kuala Lumpur
- D’Alpinia Puchong Township

Summary
Urbana Link Bungalows.
Hap Seng Land has already shown through D’Alpinia that practical designs, generous built-ups for down-to-earth pricing, privacy, low density, exclusivity, an empathy for the needs and wants of homeowners, work very well. Most of all ─ their BTS concept, has also proven effective.
Buyers are alleviated of having to do guess work regarding all aspects of their home as well as the worry of whether the project will be abandoned half way or not. What they see and touch and feel is what they will get, along with the keys to their home upon purchase. Furthermore, the BTS concept along with the giving of generous fittings and fixtures, makes moving in a cinch. Which explains why most of Urbana is sold out and why Andana, the Condo section was sold out within days of its launch, and all without much advertising. Only the Villa section of Andana remains and that only for a few more units. If they interest you, and the location, layout and architectire are right for you, you’ll need to hurry.
