Symphony Hills, Cyberjaya

A beautiful rendering of the Symphony Hills development

The Sweet Music of Living

Symphony Hills is a low density mixed residential development located in the Cyberjaya Flagship Zone (CFZ). It is the first in Malaysia to introduce the Connected Intelligent Community or CIC concept, where it integrates a high-speed fibre optic infrastructure and smart home amenities into its development.

Interestingly, Symphony Hills also promotes a green and tranquil living environment, with a third of its development dedicated to lush natural landscapes and pristine themed gardens. The best part about this project though, lies with its exquisite architectures.

Inspired by the award winning Garis architect, you will find innovative and cutting edge designs, along with open and airy courtyards in this beautiful enclave. In fact, its excellent accessibility and close proximity to the city centre are also two great reasons why you should be a part of its community.

In the end, if you are looking to stay in around the Cyberjaya area, Symphony is one of the most luxurious and prestigious residences available.

Property Details

A fine overview of Symphony’s development

The entire project sits on 98 acres of freehold land that comprises of Semi-Ds, superlink homes, townhouses, terrace houses, cluster homes and condominiums. Of that, a third of it was transformed into lush green landscapes and beautiful natural boulevards.

Each precinct also incorporates a unique landscaped garden and elegant water features, in addition to 3 tiers of security system. This includes a command centre, perimeter fencing, home alarm system and CCTVs.

Symphony’s contemporary sales gallery

In terms of leisure, there is a resort-style clubhouse with a whopping 40,000 sq ft of recreational space, floating horizontally along the waterways. It is fitted with various lifestyle amenities such as a main pool, wading pool, gym, cafeteria, playground, half-basketball court, tennis court, barbecue pit and surau, and is connected to the sales gallery through its serpentine walkways.

Exterior & Interior

Apart from green living and exquisite amenities, music plays an important role in Symphony Hills as well. Through the sweet melodies of music, the developer believes that it can inspire and bring peace its community. Hence, you could find the names of legendary composers such as Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert or Mozart imprinted in its units.

Beethoven

The first piece of its beautiful sinfonia is called Beethoven. It is a twin garden villa (semi-D) that encompasses two unique designs – Type A and Type B. The former is the larger variant of the two, with a massive built up area of 5,661 sq ft and 5+1 bedrooms, while, the latter is slightly smaller, with a built up area of just 4,620 sq ft and 1 less bedroom.

Nonetheless, they both have full access to its highly advanced amenities such as home automation, remote web access control and integrated utilities and services. In addition, they are also imbued with a cool lanai that includes a beautiful view of the community courtyard. Overall, Beethoven represents an ideal home for a big or extended family due to its size and spaciousness.

Schumann 2

The philharmonica continues with Schumann, its second set of play. It actually consists of two different phases and archetypes – Schumann 1 (townhouse) and Schumann 2 (superlink homes). Unfortunately, Phase 1 has been fully sold out and only the latter is remaining.

Schumann 2’s main attraction though, would be its innovative layout and spacious built up area. For a superlink home, it has a similar size to Beethoven’s Type B unit, which ranges from 4,143 sq ft to 4,430 sq ft. Besides, it also comes with a landscaped backyard garden and complimentary smart home features similar to Beethoven.

So, for those who are eying for a big and spacious house to stay but do not fancy a semi-D unit, Schumann would be a great choice.

Schubert

Symphony- Type 3 Shubbert

Schubert, the third and final part of its silvery sonata, is a residential development that consists entirely of linked terrace homes. Although dwarfed by its earlier counterparts, Schubert are by no means small homes.

At 3,132 sq ft for Type 1 and 3,208 sq ft for Type 2, it has sufficient space to house a huge party or an extended family stay. Additionally, it is also built around a pristine park to offer you complete privacy and an unobstructed view of the clubhouse. Along with its breezy terrace and smart home features, you and your family can luxuriate in its generous living spaces and convenient offerings.

Floor Plan

For the landed units, only Beethoven, Schumann 2 and Schubert are still available for sale. Their floor plans are illustrated as below:-

Area Detail

Cyberjaya – Some say it is an investment haven while others say it is a bust. The truth is; it had undergone a massive transformation process since the Asian Financial Crisis occurred in 1997.

What started as an overly ambitious “Silicon Valley” project, Cyberjaya today has repositioned itself into a global technology and lifestyle hub with state-of-the-art corporate buildings, commercial centres, learning institutions, residential developments and even shopping malls. In fact, it is also a part of Malaysia’s Multimedia Super Corridor, which serves as a Special Economic Zone and high-technology business district.

From top: D’Pulze Shopping Centre and Tamarind Square

Within the city, there are various high growth opportunities and vibrant lifestyle choices for you to take advantage of. From shopping and dining in places such as D’Pulze, Gem-In-Mall and Tamarind Square, to learning and growing with the likes of ELC International School, Kirkby International College, Multimedia University (MMU) and Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, you have almost an unlimited option in this smart city.

There is even a business district comprising of various MNCs and government agencies such as Shell, Dell, HSBC, MDeC and LHDN that could cater to your business or working needs. These offerings, along with its verdant leisure parks and beautiful lake gardens, are some of the reasons that have made Cyberjaya such a fantastic place to live, work or study.

The MEX Highway toll plaza

Now, getting into Cyberjaya is relatively easy because it is well connected to several major highways such as MEX, LDP, NKVE, ELITE and SKVE. Besides, it also possesses an excellent public transportation network that includes MRT, ERL and HSL – which is great, as you can access the city through several different means, apart from driving. The best part about Cyberjaya though, is its close proximity to KLCC (37km) and KLIA (30km). Here, it is far enough for you to recluse from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, but close enough for you to remain a part of it.

From top: Symphony’s elegant guardhouse and semi-detached homes

As you enter Symphony Hills, the first thing you will notice is its chic and sharply bolded entrance statement. Drive past that and you will stumble across its modern looking guardhouse, which serves as its first layer of security. Once you are able to gain entry, rows of luxurious semi-detached and superlink houses will welcome you to its private compounds. Beautiful theme gardens and dotted tree lines compliment their majesty as well, invoking a sense of calm and serenity. At the end of the day, you will be thoroughly impressed by its alluring and rejuvenating atmosphere.

Pricing

In terms of pricing, it is quite competitive between Symphony and its immediate rivals such as Sejati Residences and Garden Residences. The trio are exclusively targeted to the upmarket and they command a premium valuation. However, Symphony does charge a higher maintenance fee compared to the others, with an average cost of RM0.16 psf.

In addition, an annual membership fee of RM1,800 is also required to gain access to its club house. Considering that it includes various classy amenities and smart home features as well, you might just find the fees to be quite reasonable nevertheless.

Final Analysis

The masterplan for Symphony Hills

UEM Sunrise is no stranger when it comes to top quality property developments. As one of their hallmark projects, Symphony Hills possesses a high level of intricacy and refinement, which will suit those who are looking for a sophisticated living experience. Cutting edge technologies and amenities were included as well, courtesy of a joint venture between Cisco and Mesiniaga.

Perhaps the most invigorating part about staying in this exclusive residency is its lush natural surroundings and beautiful themed gardens. With over 35 acres of dedicated greeneries, you with find all the peace and fresh air you need here.

Moreover, its close proximity to the city centre and international airport will allow you to spend less time on travelling and avoiding traffic jams. In the end, Symphony Hills will play you with just the right kind of music you want to hear.
