Parcel 1 includes, Azelia Residence (2014), Ativo Plaza (2014), Ativo Suites (2021), DA Central Mal (est. 2027), Amaya Residence (est. 2028), one block of service apartments (SA3), one block of senior living apartments with adjoining healthcare wellness hub, two office towers, and one hotel.
Parcel 2 is located south of Ativo Suites (where the temporary Uniqlo and DA Square are currently sited)
Excerpt from the Edge:
Urban resort homes
Amaya Residences, which has a gross development value (GDV) of RM1 billion, will feature two 68-storey residential towers with a total of 1,268 units. Each tower will house 634 units. The units will have built-ups of 539 to 1,230 sq ft and are priced from RM553,000 to RM1.35 million each. The maintenance fee inclusive of sinking fund is an estimated 45 sen psf per month.
According to Tiah, Amaya Residences’ design concept was inspired by a modern Japanese architectural philosophy — simplicity. “We are aiming to create unique living spaces, with a focus on simplicity and a careful choice of natural materials as well as neutral colour palettes to set the stage for a serene ambience.
“The towers are designed as a series of frames, stacked one on top of the other in a staggered fashion. This creates a dynamic and visually interesting façade, while also providing residents with framed views of the surrounding city and landscape. The height and building silhouette are a statement to the surrounding area and will become a new landmark in Bandar Sri Damansara’s vicinity,” he adds.
Tiah says Amaya Residences will incorporate biophilic design principles by using materials such as stone and wood finishes for the exterior.
The landscape is an essential element of the development, he elaborates. “Although our projects are located in a more urban location, we wanted to give our customers an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. A serene environment is what we are going for, so we designed Amaya Residences as an urban resort surrounded by aesthetic landscapes, similar to a tropical resort.”
He says the landscape will feature indigenous and tropical plants as well as a green pathway with tree groves at the podium level. “Over time, these plants will mature and naturally form a living barrier that both separates the development from its surroundings and enhances the overall greenery of the area. This nature-inspired design philosophy extends to the residential towers’ façade, which showcases a palette of rich, earthy tones.”

The GreenRE-certified Amaya Residences has many green features, including electric vehicle charging stations, optimal thermal design, energy-efficient lifts and LED lighting, a rainwater harvesting system and low-irrigation landscaping.
Tiah says the project, which is poised to become one of the neighbourhood’s tallest residential towers, has more than 100 facilities, including “sky facilities” that offer scenic views of the city. Other amenities include pet-friendly spaces, an infinity pool, a badminton-cum-pickleball court, gymnasium, Jacuzzi, sky lounge, bar and dining area, barbecue area, 60m lagoon pool, scooter park, futsal-cum-basketball court, children’s treehouse, mahjong room, laundry, locker station, mail room, powder room and delivery collection station.
He explains that the developer decided to provide more facilities based on feedback from buyers and residents of its previous developments in Damansara Avenue. “We always try to learn from our previous projects, which is why we stay in touch with the joint management body and the management company of Ativo Suites. Therefore, we know what’s popular and which facilities are always fully booked.”
DA Central Mall,
On the other hand, will be spread across five storeys, with a net lettable area of 420,000 sq ft. Tiah says the mall’s façade will also have stone and wood finishes to match Amaya Residences’ exterior. Both developments will have eights levels of parking bays in total but with separate entrances.
Besides offering various retail and dining options to residents of Amaya Residences, Tiah hopes the mall will also become one of Damansara Avenue’s focal points.
Catering to market demand
Damansara Avenue was designed to cater for the neighbourhood’s needs, says Tiah. “The entire master plan is well-thought-out, well-planned and well-designed. When you build that big, you have to create an environment where people want to live. You can’t just build a bunch of houses and expect people to live there. So, that’s what we’re doing, building something that would cater to the community in the neighbourhood.”
The same theory was applied to Amaya Residences, he adds. “In the past or during my parents’ generation, owning a landed property was the norm. But now, it is a lot more expensive to do that and your lifestyle is pretty much compromised if it is a standalone development.
“I also find that the younger generation is not too keen on that idea any more. They would rather live in a home that offers facilities that suit their lifestyle and be within close proximity of their workplace rather than living further away from the city.”
In addition, Tiah says the developer’s primary target market is owner-occupiers such as young and mid-level professionals, young families seeking to upgrade, first-time homebuyers, empty nesters and retirees as well as investors.
Projects in the pipeline
Upon completion of Ativo Annexe, Tiah says the developer will start working on Parcel 2, which is expected to have components such as an arts centre, a sports complex and a few more towers.

, with 50% of the masterplan of Damansara Avenue now committed to scale model, including the Mall, the MRT access, and also new Roads and access

cite the growth experienced by Kepong and Menjalara. And the dearth of shopping malls serving this side of the toll. Business potential.
for the people using MRR2 to Jalan Kuala Selangor (federal road), especially with so many new residential developments coming up in Sungai Buloh and beyond . Stupid for DBKL and MBPJ and the Selangor government planning units granting the DUKE 2 and LDP developers messing up the whole area with their space consuming but utterly very little used off ramps at the interchange. As a result, the federal road has no more space for any expansion. 
at this interchange is because a huge bedrock sits under the interchange, perhaps making construction of a tunnel, technically impossible, or cost prohibitive.
