Well known for its sprawling greenery, vibrant parkscapes and quality landed homes, the freehold integrated City of Elmina township in Shah Alam offers residents a fulfilling and balanced lifestyle, without having to compromise on connectivity and convenience.

Already a highly sought-after address in the Greater Klang Valley, the pull factor for many urbanites to settle down in the township was further strengthened with the recent completion of the Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH), which has enabled this 6,500-acre award-winning township to be more connected than ever to popular destinations such as Kota Damansara, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya and Mont' Kiara.

The DASH also links travellers to other highways such as the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP), Penchala Link and Sprint Expressway, in addition to the existing network of expressways which the City of Elmina is well connected to, namely the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR) and North-South Expressway (NSE).

The City of Elmina has seen 50% of development works completed to date and is currently home to about 45,000 residents, proving that the township is maturing swiftly.

Moving forward, an exciting transformational plan is in the pipeline to further amplify liveability in this mega township. The plan, which includes the activation of the Elmina City Centre and other placemaking components, is set to boost the attractiveness of the township and appeal to a larger demographic.

TEMU, the first lifestyle commercial precinct in Elmina East, is now open and ready for business. Launched in 2019, the commercial centre generated a huge wave of tenancy enquiries even before its completion. Today, it comprises 70 units of shop offices, all fully sold out.

A key anchor tenant of the commercial precinct is a renowned Cash & Carry outlet, which will be occupying a 1-acre parcel to operate its chain grocery store. Other familiar brands taking up space include The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, FamilyMart, Pizza Hut, Miami Chicken and 99 Speedmart.

Other convenience shops and services that have already set up their business at TEMU include child enrichment centres, clinics, optical shops, auto spas and eateries.

The 300-acre Elmina City Centre, set to be developed gradually from 2024 to 2036, will house serviced apartments, mixed-use commercial buildings, a transit hub with direct access to future LRT and MRT extensions, offices, a wellness and hospitality hub, as well as an integrated education corridor.

Residents can look forward to Elmina Lakeside Mall, Elmina City Centre's maiden neighbourhood mall, where they can indulge in various dining and leisure spots.

Elmina Lakeside Mall is Sime Darby Property's second wholly-owned mall and will boast an exciting line-up of family-centric retail offerings that include lifestyle and dining outlets, drive-through establishments, a swimming school and other convenience stores and services. Currently under construction and slated for completion in the first half of 2024, the mall has an impressive net lettable area of more than 200k sq ft.

Sime Darby Property designed Elmina Lakeside Mall with an invigorating al fresco retail concept infused with biophilic elements, embodied in the lakeside dining outlets, landscaped boulevards, water features and natural surroundings.

An established line-up of brands will be added to the retail mix including:

and many more will be announced duly.

The mall will be completed concurrently with the Urban Park, a new 35-acre park with open plazas, green fields, water trails and multiple play features that visitors can look forward to.

Directly accessible from Elmina Lakeside Mall, the Urban Park is the perfect place to go for a relaxing outing with family and friends. Visitors and shoppers can expect an enchanting and unique retail experience here, where cascading lakes and landscaped promenades are juxtaposed with al fresco dining outlets and retail stores.

If you are looking to provide your children with a good school-life balance, then look no further than City of Elmina to raise your family.

The construction of SK Denai Alam national primary school is well underway and is expected to be completed by 2024, while the government-approved SMK Denai Alam national secondary school is being planned.

For parents seeking vernacular education options, construction works for SJK(C) Regent Elmina have begun, with the school complex expected to be completed by 2025 and ready for enrolment in the following year. Several international schools have shown keen interest to set up in the Elmina Education Hub and any development on this matter will be duly announced.

As one can see, excitement is brewing at City of Elmina as the township shapes up to be one of the Klang Valley's most liveable, self-sustaining and wellness-oriented townships.

Following the success of Sime Darby Property's earlier townships such as Taman Melawati and Subang Jaya, the City of Elmina will no doubt provide opportunities for long-term capital appreciation as the freehold properties in the township continue to flourish.
