PETALING JAYA (April 16): Guocoland (Malaysia) Bhd will launch Block C of the North Tower Condominiums in its township of Emerald Hills in Alam Damai, Cheras, on April 17.

Block C will comprise 393 lakefront condominium units. The freehold units will have built-ups from 840 to 1,246 sq ft with prices starting from RM570,000. Due to be completed by the second quarter of 2025 (2Q25), the units will have a dual key concept that is designed for multi-generational living and additional rental yield.  

Guocoland group managing director Tan Wee Bee said in a press release: “Emerald Hills is a low-density residential development that sits amid hilly greens with a calming 2.3-acre central lake at its heart. 96% of Phase 1 condominiums and 99% of the garden terraces have been sold to buyers who are mostly local owner-occupiers. Emerald Hills’ family-friendly environment, open spaces and ample facilities have become the perfect place for homebuyers to settle down and raise a family.”

Emerald Hills in Alam Damai, Cheras, spans across a 47-acre hilltop land with 21 acres of open space with the development comprising four condominium towers and garden terrace houses. Its unique selling point is the several open spaces that span across the development, exclusive to residents for leisure activities and family time.

The gated and guarded development offers 68 facilities such as a 2.3-acre lake, jungle trail, 1.7km jogging and cycling trails, an amphitheatre for social gatherings, and a floating pavilion for barbecues. Residents will also enjoy access to its clubhouse facilities such as a 50-meter infinity swimming pool, kid’s pool, and a fully equipped gym.

In terms of location, residents of Emerald Hills will have access to public transportation, major highways and amenities within proximity. The 24.4km Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Expressway (SUKE) is expected to be completed by end-2021.

Once completed and operational, the highway will ease traffic congestion as it reaches out to over 60 residential areas as well as connects to major highways and roads in Kuala Lumpur. Directly accessible from Alam Damai, Emerald Hills residents will also be able to use SUKE to easily access other important highways such as KESAS, MRR2 and DUKE.

Shopping amenities nearby include Eko Cheras, Leisure Mall, IKEA, Aeon Cheras Selatan, Sunway Velocity, Cheras Sentral and MyTown, while healthcare facilities located close by include Pantai Hospital, Sungai Long Medical Center and Columbia Asia Hospital Center. Educational facilities nearby are UCSI University and Beaconhouse Newlands International School.
