The award-winning Sunway City Kuala Lumpur is among the most sought-after locations for property buyers who are drawn by the development’s integrated sustainable township concept with various amenities within easy reach of its residents.

Known as Malaysia’s first green township with landmarks such as Sunway Pyramid, Sunway Lagoon, Sunway University, Monash University Malaysia and Sunway Medical Centre, its ever-growing population get to enjoy all that they need to live, work and play at their doorsteps.

One of the newest additions to Sunway City’s property landscape is Sunway GEO, an integrated development in Sunway South Quay with corporate offices, retail units and residences. For Sunway GEO’s final phase, the developer has introduced Sunway GEOLake Residences.

The 6.49-acre leasehold lakeside project comprises 420 condominium units and 44 townhouses. The low-rise homes offer premium residential units in the form of resort-themed townhouses with dual front facades without the conventional back lane.

Meanwhile, the 44-storey condominium tower will be the tallest residential tower in Sunway South Quay with its unique design of a linear groove theme matching the rock surface of the Sunway South Quay lake, says Sunway Bhd’s executive director of property development division (central region) Chong Sau Min.

The condominium units have built-ups from 883 sq ft to 1,776 sq ft with an average selling price of RM900 psf while the townhouses have built-ups ranging between 2,799 sq ft (3+1 bedroom) and 3,035 sq ft (4+1 bedroom units on the upper floor). They are priced from RM2 million.

“Instead of a podium floor, its grand entrance statement is made up of a large open space with lush gardens and recreational facilities at ground level,” he adds.

To promote community participation in health and wellness activities, numerous green pocket spaces and physical-based facilities are provided. The wellness facilities include a rock Jacuzzi and family pools for relaxation, an infinity lap pool overlooking the spectacular Sunway South Quay Lake, the unique “Dragon Walk” playground, and a BBQ area as well as a yoga deck on the roof of the condominium tower.

Sunway has also allocated an urban farming garden for residents as the developer believes such activities encourage community bonding and raise awareness within the Sunway community about sustainable and healthy living, says Chong, adding that the facilities are designed to be accessible to all generations of users from children to the elderly, making this project ideal for multi-generational living.

The project sports disabled-friendly features such as ramps and wide doorways that provide easy access for wheelchairs and strollers; standard accessibility disabled-friendly facilities such as car park provision, toilets and lifts.

Proximity to all amenities

One of the best things about living at Sunway GEOLake Residences is no doubt its direct connectivity to the myriad facilities and amenities available within Sunway City. In fact, within 10-minute walking distance, residents could reach Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway University, Monash University and Sunway Pyramid shopping mall.

Sunway GEOLake Residences is seamlessly connected via a network of elevated canopy walkways to the above and other popular destinations across Sunway City, as well as public transport such as the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT) and KTM Komuter services.

There’s direct link to the elevated BRT station which connects residents to the LRT and KTM stations. In addition, there is a free shuttle service offering access to various amenities in Sunway City.

When it comes to safety, Chong stresses that it is something Sunway never compromises on and Sunway City is constantly on 24-hour CCTV surveillance supported by more than 800 security personnel including 350 auxiliary police.

Sunway GEOLake Residences itself will have a four-tier security system.

Chong says Sunway GEOLake Residences has attracted strong interest from homebuyers and investors. “Homebuyers are enticed by the premium address, greenery and also the convenience at their doorstep, while investors are eyeing for sustainable rental yield supported by the strong demand,” he says.

The homes here will appeal to buyers looking for spacious and functional layouts as they offer flexibility to suit their needs at different stages of their lives.

“There are also some owners who are looking at rental returns, hence 20% of the condo units are dual key units ideal for owner-investors who want to stay in the same unit while renting out a portion of it,” Chong offers.

Energy conservation efforts

Sunway GEOLake is designed to be a highly sustainable living environment, with, among other features, solar system applications in common areas and facilities, an urban farming community garden to promote eco-conscious living and extensive green landscaping that welcome residents to the outdoors.

Considering the growing popularity of electric vehicles, the project also has charging bays available at the car park.

“We are also looking at generating electricity via solar panels to reduce usage of carbon-based power. LED lights are being used at all common areas and there are photo-cell sensors to control lighting in the corridors at all the tower floors,” he adds.

Efforts to conserve energy can be seen in the building’s design as well. Chong notes that the architect has aligned the longitudinal positions of the tower to face east or west to minimise the number of units that face the sun, thus reducing the heat from the sun and the usage of air conditioning.

Nevertheless, all units come with air-conditioners that use low-environmental-impact refrigerants.

\Meanwhile, a rain water harvesting system will be used for irrigation of the landscape.

To better manage the building and for the convenience of its residents, Sunway leveraged smart technology by introducing the Sunway Community Application that serves as a communication platform for the residents to stay connected within the community.

Among some of the app’s features are community announcements, a Visitor Management System, community support, a mobile video intercom, a community news bulletin and calendar.

Via the app, residents are also able to exchange calls and messages for free, share community events and make online bookings of facilities.

“All these features are part of our continuous effort in promoting a sustainable future for the building, its residents and the environment as a whole,” emphasises Chong.
