PETALING JAYA (March 12): S P Setia Bhd’s Elata Nova @ Setia Tropika, Johor Bahru recorded a take-up rate of close to 90% at its launch last Saturday (March 10), with homebuyers lining up at the sales gallery a day prior.

“As with all our other residential projects, we once again received an overwhelming response for the double-storey terraced houses collection named Elata Nova @ Setia Tropika which is targeted to be completed by mid-2020,” said S P Setia general manager (Property South) Saniman Amat Yusof in a statement

“Just like the previous sold-out Elata Vita collection which was launched last year, Elata Nova @ Setia Tropika is the perfect choice for those within the Gen-Y age group looking for starter homes as its contemporary design gives the homes a modernistic twist yet remains functional for young family living,” he added.

The landed development comprises 93 units of double-storey homes with land areas of 20ft by 70ft and 20ft by 75ft, each with built-ups of 1,964 sq ft and containing four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Prices for the terraced homes start from RM701,800, translating into a GDV of RM66.1 million.

The Setia Tropika townships have facilities such as a 12-acre award-winning town park offering picnic lawns, a reflexology area, basketball courts, football field, multi-purpose court, educational garden, dedicated jogging and cycling tracks.

“Residents of Elata Nova @ Setia Tropika will be pleased to know that the residential area is a 24-hour gated-and-guarded community.

“The many pocket parks available in numerous locations of the township are part of our commitment to creating ecological features and a sustainable living environment for the enrichment of our community, true to S P Setia’s LiveLearnWorkPlay development philosophy,” he added.

Yogeswari Kolandai, who was one of the earliest purchasers of a unit at the launch, said she was elated to be able to purchase her dream home at the township.

“I have always wanted to own a home here as the Setia brand promises quality and there are ample facilities for me and my family at this picturesque township,” she said.

Elata Nova @ Setia Tropika is accessible by North-South Highway with the Exit 255B built by S P Setia to ease travel from the Central Business District.

The township is 5km away from Kempas Medical Centre, 12km away from the CIQ Checkpoint and Johor Bahru city centre, and 18km away from the Senai International Airport.
