Just wondering if there are any new upcoming or existing developments similar to DPC? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

As for as I know, dun have alternative in klang valley.

For the environment, amenities, park, we can find a lot of imitators. the difference is DPC started by selling at a premium and make it pet friendly to attract the particular crowd to build the community. The imitator started by selling cheap to attract the wannabes. Location wise, the wannabes cannot beat DPC.

P/S: Kenny hill and Damansara height is another level.

If really want to bet, the highest chance is KL metropolis. but dun quote me, noone has the crystal ball.

There’s only so many rich and atas people in KL. The developers can try whether it’s Sungai Buloh or Cheras etc. It’s not going to happen.

There is no large tract of land left in KL in a central location that is adjacent to old affluent neighbourhoods that I can think of.

You might see pocket developments here and there but if the postcode is wrong then it’s not going be an atas place.

KL metropolis?

Yes the location fits the bill but isn’t it primarily commercial and high rise with a lot of business elements thrown in?

DPC stands out because it is explicitly residential and the commercial elements are there to suit the lifestyle needs of the residents. Not the other way round. That’s the true definition of atas.

I can honestly say as of now even ppsb is not able to dupe another dpc😁

They have a chance in Section 13 PJ but the master plan is once again too disparate, slow and commercial. If they create a residential master plan focused on lifestyle, the affluent locals will go for it.

DPC had all the elements right to make it what it is now:

1) High price (already only attracts a certain clientele)
2) Location (close but not too close to major commercial hubs)
3) "Humans first" concept that prioritize residential comfort over commercial space, even if it's not as profitable short term
4) Marketing and management that emphasize community building and civic-conscious behavior to maintain that "elite" mindset.

Other imitators missing at least one of the above. The closest is probably EcoWorld's township developments, but already "fail" for location compared to DPC

they say gamuda gardens. i laffed

All "shan ka la" location.

Good for uncle auntie retirement.

But now DPC also getting becomes high density with the new two apartments project - Noora, and Park Regent. No good.

High density comes with better and more amenities

Personally feel that Lake City and Tropicana Metropark will be something close to Desa Park City, but hard to compare as Desa Park City is irreplaceable. Lake City will incorporate some concept of Desa Park City as it's jointly developed with Desa Park City developer.

You very high keras, Park Regent also say no good

How bout Pantai sentral park ? Although now macam not moving la

on the same scale, no other project will be like DPC at least with the same type of location.

you can find almost similar development around KL outer rings..but will never be the same due to location.

You need to get rid of all the low cost housing there and have one developer set the tone of the development otherwise it’s just like any other boutique project.

DPC’s singular biggest success was marketing the pet friendliness. That in turn got all the expats. Even the bank branches there allow dogs to go inside.

Pantai is on Malay land so this won’t happen.

Unfortunately in our country you need visible presence of people with lighter hair and high bridged noses to be seen as an atas area. So no dogs is no go.

IINM, location for DPC also not that great when it first developed right?

It's in Kepong, next to ldp, not that good?

The nearby Menjalara and bukit Maluri are old neighbourhood.
It's already surrounded by plenty of population when it first started.
