Formerly a quarry site, Desa ParkCity has been transformed into a well-planned township with a host of facilities for residents and a concept that promotes community interaction and a healthier lifestyle.
When The Waterfront was introduced, it was to serve the daily needs of Desa ParkCity’s residents. However, it went on to draw crowds from neighbouring communities and some who do not live within the vicinity.
As for Plaza Arkadia, the developer took two years to design the project where they took inspiration from classic buildings in Munich, London and Paris, and consulted with foreign developers.
To alleviate the problem of insufficient parking spaces at commercial hubs, the developer has allocate 1,920 parking bays for cars and 621 for motorcycles in two levels of basement across the centre.
Based on the continued success Desa ParkCity’s developments, Plaza Arkadia should perform well too.
121 Residences’ key selling points are its proximity to the upcoming Damansara Utama LRT 3 station (400m / about 5 minutes’ walk away), its location between prime townships and practical layouts for individuals and young families.
The Netizen, a pioneering residential development situated in matured township of Bandar Tun Hussein Onn with close access to the Bandar Tun Hussein Onn MRT station, had constantly drawing a close attention to many investors and buyers.
Named after London’s famed Hyde Park, this 517-unit serviced apartment consists 36 residential floors complete with a six-storey ample parking facility below. The interiors of its fully-furnished units, which are sized between 466 and 769 square feet, mirrors that of a clean and modern contemporary taste of London.
