AMIDST the mature township of Kota Kemuning in Shah Alam lies twentyfive7 – an integrated self-sustained township that beckons the promise of a vibrant, thriving community.
Gamuda Land's development principles foster a harmonious blend of innovative placemaking and meaningful connections among its residents.
“Building on our legacy of Kota Kemuning, twentyfive7 is intended to complement the maturity of the surrounding community,” says twentyfive7 general manager Suzan Ong.
“When we designed the masterplan for twentyfive7, we were mindful to stay true to our development principle of ‘when we get the places right, the town works’.
“We have created a township which is vibrant yet has that community feel, that is able to offer ease and convenience to residents, and more importantly for it to be a self-sustained development.”
Gamuda Land has mindfully considered all aspects, whether it’s the homes themselves or the surrounding amenities for leisure, shopping and even learning – ensuring that all elements have been carefully laid out, as the residential precincts are well-connected to these places and are reachable by walking or cycling.
To create a sense of community at twentyfive7, Gamuda Land first completed Quayside, an outdoor park area in the heart of the township where people can congregate, neighbours can get to know one another and families can spend quality time outdoors with their pets.
Careful thought was put into the landscape and waterscape design with meticulous selection in the types of native trees to plant, as well as the types of family-friendly activities that are available at Quayside, such as the Waterfront Superfly, Carousel, Flamingo Pedal Boat and Solar Express Train Ride.
Next, the developer added the Quayside Mall. The mall is designed to open up to the 2.8ha Quayside to have a seamless experience from indoor to outdoor. It even fosters a delightful atmosphere with its pet-friendly park.
When the mall officially opened in 2020, it was timely to cater to twentyfive7’s first group of residents, as it provided ready conveniences and amenities.
Since then, twentyfive7 has grown to be a vibrant community where the mall and Quayside have become popular hang-out spots for its surrounding community, including for those from Kota Kemuning and Klang.
twentyfive7 has also delivered the Amber Residences, Quayside Shoppes and Luxura homes.
Today, more than 33 F&B outlets can be found at Quayside Mall and Quayside Shoppes, ranging from restaurants to services.
To enhance the overall experience for the community, Ong shares that plans are in motion for the Quay District, a commercial development aimed at filling in the commercial and retail gaps in the vicinity.
Multi-level education centres, wellness specialist centres, waterfront retail and F&B restaurants are all planned for development, as Quay District will undoubtedly elevate the living experience at twentyfive7.
“Plans for Quay District took into consideration the offerings of the surrounding townships where we looked at how we could fill in the gaps to truly complement what our neighbouring developments have to offer.
“All in all, we fall back to our vision for twentyfive7 – elements that are mindfully planned to create a place that people will want to be a part of, and can grow up and grow old in,” says Ong.
Newly launched biophilic homes
The developer has even incorporated nature-friendly home designs into its newly launched Levane Residences, which is a Green Building Index (GBI) certified project that has a seamless harmony of green features.
“You will see the integration with nature extending to the home design, where we have applied biophilic home design principles to our products,” says Ong.
These linked homes have a number of passive green designs such as large windows that encourage abundant natural light on the first floor, ventilation block screens to maximise air ventilation without compromising privacy and high ceilings that maximise space.
The flexible design of the rooms cater to the diverse needs of residents at every stage of life, ensuring that Levane Residences truly stands the test of time.
A host of active green designs include solar panel-ready roof structures, environmentally preferred flooring, water-efficient sanitary wares and fittings and solar reflective index roofs that reduce heat internally.
“The guest room on the ground floor is accessible to the backyard. Not only does it cater to the elderly's convenience for daily exercise and outdoor connection, but it also offers flexible usage, serving as a secondary kitchen, a dining area, a home office or even a playroom for children,” Ong shares.
“This meticulous attention to detail ensures that residents can enjoy their homes to the fullest without having to worry about future renovation works.”
Stepping outside the confines of the home, one is greeted by verdant green spaces encircling the residences.
A linear green landscape garden at the rear of each home replaces the conventional tarred back lanes that often lay dormant. Made purposeful, it now becomes an oasis of gatherings, play, and neighbourly camaraderie.
Recently launched on Aug 19, Levane Residences comprises 368 units of double-storey linked homes with five types of layouts, with built-up sizes ranging from 1,999sqft to 2,983sqft.
Levane Residences saw a take-up rate of 50% during its launch event.
Well-connected township
twentyfive7 is easily accessible via five major expressways such as the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), North-South Expressway Central Link (Elite), Shah Alam Expressway (Kesas), Kemuning-Shah Alam Highway (LKSA) and the upcoming West Coast Expressway (WCE).
It is also in close proximity to Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Klang and Puchong, which makes it convenient to travel to other parts of Klang Valley.
“Indeed, twentyfive7 has woven a captivating tapestry of community, sustainability and well-being,” says Ong.
“It's a living experience that truly celebrates life in all its forms – where young families grow and thrive, where elders find comfort and joy, and where neighbours become friends for a lifetime.”
