Eco Sanctuary is an eco-themed gated and guarded township that spans across 308 acres in the Klang Valley. Located there is duduk, a new brand of development by Eco World Development Group Bhd. It offers the younger generation of urban dwellers an easy entry to homeownership for a modern high-rise.

duduk was inspired by the successful launch of apartments at the Eco Majestic township in Semenyih in 2016.  Launched in 2020, homebuyers can choose a duduk unit either in Eco Sanctuary at the south of Kota Kemuning, or Eco Ardence at Setia Alam.

The budget-friendly developments are Se.Ruang D’ Eco Sanctuary (Se.Ruang), and Huni D’ Eco Ardence (Huni). Located within mature townships, these high-rise homes are suitable for young families, singles, or for future investment. The brand will take advantage of the existing infrastructure, built environment, and comprehensive amenities, within mature EcoWorld townships.

Se.Ruang D’ Eco Sanctuary has a gross development value (GDV) of RM358 million and is built on a 7-acre leasehold parcel. According to the developer, they have seen positive response for both Huni D’ Eco Ardence and Se.Ruang D’ Eco Sanctuary.

Analysis

According to the developer, the idea for duduk came at the end of 2019, when they were receiving a lot of enquiries for products priced below RM1 million. For duduk, the target market is the M40 group and a younger demographic comprising first-time homebuyers, young professionals, and young families.

duduk-seruang6

Based on the developer’s review of the psychographics of their target groups, and they found that most of them prefer a product that is convenient, practical and hassle-free. Thus, the units come partially furnished, and with smart home features. Plus, duduk’s products are moderately priced.

Some have compared Se.Ruang D’ Eco Sanctuary with Harmoni Apartment and Karisma Apartment at Eco Majestic in Semenyih, and Aman 1 at Tropicana Aman near Kota Kemuning, due to its price point. Those who are looking for completed projects could take a look at The Parque Residences in Eco Sanctuary.

Do note that Se.Ruang D’ Eco Sanctuary comes with a commercial title. However, some opine that Se.Ruang is one of the hottest projects in Kota Kemuning due to its price range and trust in the developer’s track record.
