SPRAWLING across 1,879 acres, Bandar Rimbayu, the latest township by IJM Land Bhd offers a serene surrounding to those who are in this premier township that borders Kota Kemuning in Shah Alam, Selangor.
The development is inspired by the charms of the good old days when everything was simpler, greener and more harmonious. It incorporates green concept into each phase to make the most out of the natural resources available within the vicinity.
Two phases in Bandar Rimbayu that not only offer peaceful environment, but are also pleasing to the eyes, are Periwinkle and Perennia.
To promote a green and environment-friendly way of living, the houses at both Periwinkle and Perennia are equipped with environmental-conscious elements, such as solar panel water heating system, rainwater harvesting, dual flush system for water closet and lightly tinted windows.
“Solar panels water heating system is available at the shower area in all bathrooms. As it uses sunlight to heat up, it will help in reducing electricity bills and carbon footprint; giving access to a renewable and clean source of energy.
“Rainwater harvesting, on the other hand, is convenient for gardening and outdoor cleaning, minimising impact to the environment and saving water bills,” says Bandar Rimbayu Sdn Bhd senior manager sales and marketing Susan Teh.
“The site plan of Periwinkle and Perennia is also unique compared to the other developments by IJM Land, in a sense that it is developed to offer a vast verdant space from the moment one steps into the green developments.
“Bandar Rimbayu draws inspiration from nature where there is plenty of sunshine, freedom to play and space to grow. We want to bring back nostalgic memories, an epitome of the good old days where you climb trees, discover new plants and insects, invent new games, soak up in the sun in our man-made pool (round pail),” enthuses Bandar Rimbayu Sdn Bhd chief operating officer Shuy Eng Leong.
Both of these phases provide convenient spaces with unique floor plan that provides a delightful balance between style and living, and each room comes with an ensuite bathroom. Periwinkle and Perennia complement the development of Bandar Rimbayu with their own exclusive approach.
Periwinkle: Rural ambiance
Periwinkle features linked semi-detached units with 2,267 sq ft built-up (Type A), linked semi-detached units with 2,117 sq ft built-up (Type B), as well as single storey bungalow units with 2,035 sq ft built-up.
The facade of Periwinkle houses will ignite nostalgic senses where it provides a village feel through an elegant palette of earthy and warm tones. Residents can delight in a cosy layout and open spacious ambiance that bids a bright welcome from the door.
All the units have been thoughtfully extended at the back, offering more space, versatility and freedom. Type A offers breathtaking garden view and plenty of natural lighting to the guest room and master bedroom walk-in wardrobe space, whereas Type B with an open courtyard, breaths life into each corner, brightening up the place.
Perennia: Contemporary concept
Perennia showcases three different types of double-storey link homes. The units are distinguished by modern colonial facade integrated with retro features.
For a luxurious living, the intermediate units are designed with an indoor courtyard to bring in more natural lighting and ventilation, whilst the corner units offer spacious area for living, dining, dry and wet kitchen with maid’s room and ensuite bathroom for each room.
For both Periwinkle and Perennia, the architectural designs promote sustainable solutions, whereby there are high ceilings and vast windows to let in plenty of natural light. There are also towering air wells that help to enhance circulation for a well-ventilated environment.
Good connectivity
The whole development of Bandar Rimbayu is enhanced with numerous current and future infrastructures and amenities, which include The ARC, road connectivity, clubhouse and schools.
The ARC, which comprises an elevated green canopy, football field and a flower-cum-herbs garden has hosted many events, such as Charity Run, Pets Day Out, House Warming Parties, Trishaw Rides and Moroccan Night Party.
With the completion of the road that links to Bandar Saujana Putra, residents will be able to access Ekspresway Lingkaran Tengah (ELITE) and South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) in addition to the current Konsortium Expressway Shah Alam Selangor (KESAS) and Lebuhraya Kemuning-Shah Alam (LKSA) highways.
In the pipeline are plans to build a 2.2 acre clubhouse with fully equipped facilities, private / international school, as well as neighbourhood shops within Bandar Rimbayu.
Bandar Rimbayu seeks to showcase the best of yesteryears to remind its residents of a time when life was much more simple. The integrated township does not only boasts tranquil green surroundings, but also different property components with excellent connectivity.
