Sime Darby Property Berhad will launch its first high-rise development, Kanopi Residences, on 23 November 2024. Located in the City of Elmina, the development features 449 units, each spanning 1,000 sq. ft. with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a minimum of two car parks. Units are priced from RM565,888, with a Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM299 million.
Kanopi Residences is designed with the 15-minute city concept in mind, integrating living, working, learning, and recreational spaces, all while prioritising wellness. It is positioned as a prime opportunity for both homebuyers and investors, with the City of Elmina expected to become one of Malaysia's most sought-after townships.
The development is strategically located just 300 metres from Elmina Lakeside Mall, offering more than 90 retail and dining options. It is also close to the upcoming Education Hub, which will include SJK(C) Regent Elmina and Sekolah Menengah Akademik Chong Hwa, set to open in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Additionally, national schools in Denai Alam are within a short drive, with expected completion in 2026 and 2028.
Kanopi Residences benefits from enhanced connectivity via the DASH highway, Guthrie Corridor Expressway, and a future MRT hub. This makes it ideal for first-time buyers, newlyweds, and young families.
Appollo Leong, Sime Darby Property's Chief Operating Officer of Township Development, highlighted the development's strategic location at the heart of the City of Elmina. He added, "Following the recent launch of Elmina Lakeside Mall, the city's growth is just beginning."
The development will offer over 35 wellness-themed facilities, including sky gardens, a swimming pool, and fitness areas. Residents will have access to the 300-acre Elmina Central Park, featuring six theme parks and recreational spaces.
Kanopi Residences has been awarded GreenRE Silver certification for its environmentally responsible design, incorporating energy-efficient features, rainwater harvesting, and eco-friendly materials. This reflects Sime Darby Property's commitment to sustainable and wellness-focused living.
