Analysis
As the city gets more congested, many are considering living outside the city centre for a more peaceful life. Located approximately 30 minutes away from KL city centre (KLCC), residents can still enjoy what the city has to offer, before returning to Ilham Residence.
In addition to the multi-generational concept, which is good for growing families, Ilham Residence is designed to be pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly with two integrated landscaped parks, communal green spaces and ample surface parking.
The upcoming commercial development is known as TEMU @ City of Elmina, and it is about 800m away from Ilham Residence. It is the first commercial precinct in the township, with 70 units of freehold two- and three-storey shop offices.
Located centrally at the gateway to the City of Elmina. and fronting the busy Persiaran Atmosfera, TEMU will be the point of convergence for the township’s current 40,000-strong population.
TEMU is expected to be completed approximately the same time as Ilham Residence. That way, new residents will get to enjoy commercial amenities featuring F&B brands, a fitness centre, and a dining banquet hall.
