Sime’s City of Elmina first series almost sold out

THE first series of Sime Darby Property Bhd’s latest residential development project in the Klang Valley, City of Elmina, which comprises 255 units of double-storey link houses, is almost sold out after its soft launch recently.
Priced at between RM599,888 and RM828,888 each, they are the first series of homes offered for sale under the project and valued at RM188.18 million collectively.
“When fully completed, City of Elmina will be a comprehensive township dedicated to the pursuit of a healthy and balanced lifestyle,” said Sime Darby Property managing director Datuk Wahab Maskan.
“Judging by the response to the soft launch, it is clear that today, more Malaysian home buyers are seeking to live in an environment that provides these qualities,” he added.
City of Elmina will be built on 2,023.42ha located along the Guthrie Corridor Expressway in an area west of Kuala Lumpur.
Wahab, who is also group chief operating officer of Sime Darby Bhd, said the township will also feature a 70km cycling track, a well-marked marathon-distance (42km) jogging track and a wellness cluster of retail shops, facilities and amenities centred on health and well-being concept.
“In addition, safety and security of our residents will also be our priorities and they have been incorporated from the design stage of this township,” he said.
Sime Darby said the industrial component within City of Elmina had also been well received, where the group recently saw all 51 vacant lots amounting to 38.63ha with a sales value of RM370.07 million being completely taken up.
The group added that it is planning to unveil the next phase of homes in the existing township in the fourth quarter of this year.
The township is a part of the Selangor Vision City, where the entire Guthrie Corridor is set to be the growth centre and catalyst within Greater Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley. - The Business Time
