Article : Home sweet home in a gorgeous garden
2015 Jul 08
ECO World Development Group Berhad sets the scene for blissful and enchanted living with expertly crafted projects that celebrate nature, and allow inhabitants to revel in its therapeutic embrace.
Its maiden undertaking in Penang, the Eco Terraces in Paya Terubong, is one such example. Enveloped by lush greens, manicured gardens and flowing water features, it will be a tranquil haven at one with the surroundings. Of its overall 12.79 acres, only 30% will be developed – including the centrepiece 33- storey tower block containing 333 contemporary residences, and a separate lifestyle centre with modern facilities. The remaining 70% of the hillside plot, or around 8 acres, will be set aside for parkland replete with gorgeous gardens, manicured terraces, a forest reserve, natural water features and an array of open- air amenities. These exclusive gardens of delight provide a wonderful and wholesome backdrop for a life of splendour, one reserved for discerning home- owners who yearn for something special. Only 333 buyers and their families will be fortunate enough to acquire membership to this niched, low- density enclave of enchantment, of which preliminary work has begun and is set for completion sometime in 2019. Smaller families needing a compact space are well- catered to with the 1,095 sq ft or 1,366 sq ft typical units, while those looking for a lavish abode would find the two- level duplex at 2,008 sq ft ideal. There is also a dual- keys 1,520 sq ft option, which is essentially two units in one. It is great for those with several generations living together, as it keeps everyone close by yet affords each other privacy. All units come with either three or four bedrooms in rectangular layouts that maximise space, cross- ventilation of interior spaces, as well as with views. With wide expanses of glass framing the living area and most bedrooms, residents enjoy spectacular vistas of the surrounding townscape or terraced hillside that lends the development its name. Better yet, these units will be delivered fully- fitted with air- conditioners, hot- water heaters, wardrobes and kitchen cabinet with electrical appliances. Quality tiles and fine finishes are found in all common areas, while laminated timber flooring is provided in all bedrooms. All these save homeowners the hassle of doing major renovations before moving in. Beyond the walls of their comforting abodes, residents will find a wealth of amenities, facilities and features spread over the development’s five zones. Coming home, one is first greeted by The Arch, a stylish entrance that leads to a signature roundabout which leads residents either back to their building, or the lifestyle centre. The latter known as The Commune, is intentionally located away from the main residential block to minimise noise, will have a theatre, karaoke lounge, multi- purpose hall, gourmet kitchen, table tennis area, golf simulation room and multi- purpose sports hall. Currently the project’s sales gallery, when converted later it will also have a playground, barbecue deck and social deck for residents to entertain and mingle. Just beside it would be The Lawn, a one- acre elevated green space with landscaped terraces, a gazebo, sensory garden and picnic lawn for indulging in life’s finer moments and connecting with one’s inner being. The Mesa, located in front of the tower block, features the grand drop off lobby, gymnasium, and multi- tiered swimming pool. This includes a Jacuzzi, floating beds, sun deck, kid’s wading pool and aqua gym. Encircling most of the RM430mil development is The Trail, which has terracing boardwalks for one to jog or trek through, alongside spice and herb gardens, a meditation deck and eco pond fed by a natural waterfall that flows during rainy periods. All these bring the perks of living on a landed property, to high- rise dwellers. It is the best of both worlds, combining the views and luxury of being up high, with the expansive spaces and greens of the land. The development is gated and guarded, and features many layers of security features to afford residents peace of mind at all times. Its brilliant location along the main Jalan Paya Terubong thoroughfare also offers expedient access to various places of interest. The company has already upgraded a 700m stretch of road to a dual carriage way 100 ft wide. In addition, the state government is also set to build a new paired road between Bandar Baru Air Itam and Bukit Jambul in the coming years. All these will significantly improve traffic flow and facilitate quicker commutes. From here, it is only a 10 or 15- minute drive to the Penang Bridge, Queensbay Mall or Fairview International School. The Penang International Airport, Lam Wah Ee Hospital, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Bridge and Unesco World Heritage city of George Town are 20 or 25- minutes away. To date, around half of the non- Bumiputra units for Eco Terraces have already been snapped up. The remaining ones are available at the Star Property Fair 2015, with attractive entry- level packages for potential buyers.
