Desa ParkCity

ParkCity's The Central Park and Plaza Arkadia excel at Best Managed and Sustainable Property Awards

Anchoring the verdancy in the heart of Desa ParkCity is the 13.19-acre Central Park with a 6.34-acre man-made lake. It draws denizens both from inside and outside the township because it is a pet-friendly public park, a rarity in Kuala Lumpur. The decision to turn it into a pet-friendly park was to make it an inclusive park which everyone could enjoy.

The objective of EdgeProp Malaysia’s Best Managed and Sustainable Property Awards is to raise the bar on Malaysian property management practices, benchmarking it against the best in class globally. Collectively, it is an endorsement of the hardwork and effort of all our staff and the DNA of ParkCity brand.”

The Central Park and Plaza Arkadia at Desa ParkCity, Kuala Lumpur have taken the top spots in their respective categories at EdgeProp Malaysia’s Best Managed and Sustainable Property Awards 2020.

The Central Park won Gold in the 10 years and above specialised category while Plaza Arkadia also bagged the Gold in the below 10 years mixed development (entire) category.

Developed on a 11.3-acre site, Plaza Arkadia is designed to redefine mixed-use developments in Malaysia. It features colonial style architecture with a modern contemporary twist.

Remaining steadfast to its commitment to sustainability, the developer has incorporated green features to ease sustainable management and maintenance into the project right from its blueprint. Even security features have been included in the project’s design and planning from the very start.

Meanwhile, anchoring the verdancy in the heart of Desa ParkCity is the 13.19-acre Central Park with a 6.34-acre man-made lake. It draws denizens both from inside and outside the township because it is a pet-friendly public park, a rarity in Kuala Lumpur. The decision to turn it into a pet-friendly park was to make it an inclusive park which everyone could enjoy.

Besides being a place-making element that brings vibrancy into the township, The Central Park also serves to create a new ecosystem and green environment to what was once a dead quarry site.

The accolades are a great endorsement of our journey that we are on the right track,” declared Lau.
