The 36-story project, boasting a Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM299 million, comprises 499 freehold units and is scheduled for handover in the third quarter of 2027. Launched in the fourth quarter of 2024, the development has already achieved a strong market uptake of 90%, indicating a positive reception for high-rise living in the area.
This achievement is the result of the hard work of all parties involved, from consultants and contractors to the project team who collaborated to ensure this important milestone was realized safely and on schedule.
Appollo Leong, Chief Operating Officer of City Development at Sime Darby Property, emphasized the company's commitment to delivering quality projects on schedule. He highlighted the collaborative effort involved in reaching this structural completion safely and on time, reinforcing buyer confidence.
Kanopi Residences is designed to align with Sime Darby Property's vision of a 15-minute city concept in Elmina City Centre, ensuring essential amenities like commercial centers, schools, and parks are within walking or cycling distance. The development draws inspiration from the adjacent Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve, aiming to blend natural elements with residential living. It offers more than 35 wellness-focused amenities, including unique "in the Sky" facilities like a co-working space, lounge, and fitness center, alongside recreational options on the 7th floor. The units, ranging from 550 to 1,200 square feet, cater to young professionals, first-time homebuyers, and growing families with flexible open-plan layouts. Residents benefit from convenient access to the Guthrie Corridor Expressway and Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH), with Elmina Lakeside Mall just 300 meters away and the expansive Elmina Central Park within walking distance.
More importantly, it reflects Sime Darby Property's commitment to delivering quality development on schedule and meeting the trust placed by buyers.
