Forest living in the city – the best of both worlds

What we know instinctively, science has also repeatedly confirmed – living close to natural landscapes has beneficial effects on our mental health, moods and cognition, as well as our longevity and mortality.

More interestingly, a German study in 2017 found that in an urban setting, living within 1km to a forest far trumps being near urban green (parks, landscaped green areas etc) and water in terms of significant positive impact on our amygdala, the integrative centre for our emotions, emotional behaviour, and motivation.

Now imagine living just 100m to a sprawling virgin rainforest, enjoying unobstructed spectacular views of the calming green expanse, breathing in the fresh air, recharging your body, mind and amygdala.

That’s what Sunway d’hill Residences by Master Community Developer Sunway Property brings.

A holistic natural lifestyle awaits you at Sunway d’hill Residences. Its strategic location within the matured neighbourhood of Kota Damansara CBD right next to the 800-acre Kota Damansara Community Forest Reserve (KDCFR) brings you the best of both worlds – homes that are blessed by nature yet remain distinctively urban in spirit.

Peace and serenity; green in and out

All bedrooms face externally to maximise the panoramic views, daylight, and natural ventilation. Breathe in fresh forest air even when being indoors.

Residents can be assured of unobstructed views of the mesmerising forested hills and/or the city due to Sunway d’hill Residences’ location within the matured neighbourhood of Kota Damansara, and access to nature’s forest playground even when they cannot travel, such as during a pandemic.

Enjoy the picturesque magnificence of an 800-acre prime rainforest right next door. Take time off with nature and discover its wonders with evening walks, or make a hiking trip to explore the forest, or go mountain biking along the numerous trails in the forest.

More than just being next to a forest reserve, Sunway d’hill Residences itself is green, having been certified Gold by GreenRE, Malaysia’s leading green building certification body. The certification attests to the development’s energy and water efficiency, quality indoor environment, and sustainability through the use of environmentally-friendly materials. Its sustainable feature includes bicycle racks to promote car-free mobility.

Green naturally extends to its facilities, with “forest zones” across the development. These include a forest playscape, an elevated tree-top walk and a forest-inspired reflexology path. There are also “water zones” such as an Olympic-length infinity lap pool, a wading pool for children, and water reflexology, as well as “play zones” and “family zones” which include facilities such as terrace amphitheatre, a multipurpose hall which converts into a badminton court, a multi-sport court, terrace ramp and seating, and leisure lawn. In total, there are more than 30 facilities, each designed to optimise your living experience in the midst of the refreshing view of Mother Nature.

Noteworthy is that some 43% of the development’s landscape coverage consists of ample outdoor spaces for outdoor activities where physical distancing can be observed, and activities can contribute to better physical, mental and emotional health.

Urban conveniences all around

In a post-pandemic era, accessibility and self-sufficiency is key; everything must be within reach. Physical restrictions have also highlighted more than ever the importance of self-sufficiency with daily conveniences at one’s doorstep or nearby.

As a mixed development, Sunway d’hill Residences provides retail and dining conveniences at your doorstep. Moreover, given its strategic location within the central business district of Kota Damansara, there’s an abundance of amenities and facilities such as education, healthcare, retail and golf clubs close to home.

There are seven malls within a 6km radius of the development, namely NSK, Giant Kota Damansara, Sunway Giza, Tropicana Gardens Mall, The Curve, IPC/Ikea, and 1 Utama Shopping Centre as well as vibrant commercial centres including Sunway Damansara. There are even three golf clubs nearby –the Selangor Golf Club, the Bandar Utama Golf Course, and Tropicana Golf Course. Residents are indeed spoilt for choice when it comes to food and beverage as well as entertainment and recreation.

Besides that, there are five education institutions within an 8km vicinity – SEGi University College, Sri KDU School, St Joseph International School, SJK (C) Damansara, and The British International School.

There are also four hospitals within a 2km radius – the Alpha Specialist Centre, Thomson Hospital, Hospital Pusrawi, Sunway Damansara Specialist Clinics in Sunway Nexis and the upcoming Sunway Medical Centre, Kota Damansara.

In terms of connectivity, the development enjoys easy access to the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Penchala Link and DASH highway. In addition, the Kwasa Damansara MRT station is only 2.5km away, allowing public commuters convenient access to various locations across the Klang Valley.

The extra practical features

Sunway d’hill Residences is designed with practicality and efficiency in mind. Its units come in four practical and efficient layouts, with built-up areas of 829 to 1,245 sq ft comprising 2-4 bedrooms. Every unit has separate wet and dry kitchens as well.

Good property management has also come to the fore, as efficient property management is key to ensure the safety of communities. Sunway d’hill Residences will utilise technology to deliver speedy, efficient and hassle-free services. A Pop Box at the lift lobby, RFID-enabled long-range card access system at the guardhouse, dedicated car washing bays, a drop-off counter for deliveries at the guardhouse, and community management apps to enable integrated facility booking – these are some of the features that will be put in place to reduce physical meetings and face-to-face contact.
