With the success of City of Elmina garnering much attention over recent years with its vibrant Rainbow Bridge, iconic Elmina bridge and its health and wellness features, Sime Darby property has proven its ability to adapt to the latest buyer demographic of younger first-home buyers who has a higher appreciation of having beautiful landscaping surrounding their home, even more so with the past 2 years of lockdown. Sustainable developments have also become all the more imperative in today's townships as they will be the place where a family will live and pass down for future generations to come.

This is where Sime Darby Property's newest township - Serenia City - dubbed the Garden City of KLIA, has planned for the future. Garden City is an urban planning concept in which self-contained communities are surrounded by greenbelts, containing proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture. With signature features including open spaces, public parks, and wide boulevards, it aims to capture the benefits of both a countryside and city environment while avoiding the disadvantages presented by both. True to the concept of a Garden City, Serenia City makes a literal strong statement of intent with its iconic wind-powered kinetic entrance statement and 105 acres of lush parks including Central Park, Aman North and South Parks, and Serenity Park where three 100-year-old trees remain standing as to preserve and honour its tea plantation roots.

Sime Darby Property has become a spearhead in sustainable living because it understands that as a leading property developer, every decision made, and action taken will impact the economy, people and environment. To create and cultivate a thriving and lasting township, sustainability is vital in its design, development and maintenance. Sustainability is embedded in the company's DNA and it is evident in the master-planning and design of Serenia City.

Nestled within Serenia City's Central Park is the key landmark of the township, the iconic Kinetic Sculpture. The wind-powered structure, with inspiration for the 'tea leaves' design drawn from the township's tea plantation roots, is listed as the biggest kinetic sculpture in the country by 'The Malaysian Book of Records'. Also located within the park is the inimitable Amphitheater, a distinctive architecture not only is a sight to behold, but also enables rainwater harvesting.

The Frame of Serenia, a hotspot for Instagrammers, was constructed with recycled materials. The 12 lakes scattered throughout Serenia City also function as an effective flood mitigation solution and essential natural filters. As safety is a top priority of the township, the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) uses green hedges as natural buffers between pedestrian paths, and the road speed bumps and pedestrian crossings are leveled to ensure smooth journey for bicycles and wheelchairs.

Designed to be a masterpiece, Serenia City is one of Sime Darby Property's award-winning developments in the Klang Valley. Its location being just 30km away from Puchong, with access to major highways such as ELITE highway, SKVE and North-South highway, and less than 30-minute train ride to KL Sentral via the ERL, these grant easy access to Kuala Lumpur, Cyberjaya and Putrajaya. Serenia City also has a dedicated commercial and industrial precinct that complements and boosts the growth of the township.

The location of Serenia City also connects Sime Darby Property's northern developments such as Elmina and Bandar Bukit Raja to its southern counterparts such as Nilai Impian and Bandar Ainsdale, making Sime Darby Property the most integrated property developer nationwide.

This 2,370-acre freehold development fits the needs of people who are looking for freehold landed homes with a high quality of life. It offers the best in sustainable community living and is poised to lead the way in setting the benchmark for future townships.
