Kuala Lumpur: Damasara City, a flagship project by GuocoLand (Malaysia) Berhad (a subsidiary of the Hong Leong Group), held its topping out ceremony to celebrate the moment of reaching its final point of building structure. The event marked the topping out of the final tower of the project, which will be the future home of a 5-star hotel.

Sprawling across 8.5 acres of freehold land, Damansara City is an integrated, environmental friendly development with MSC status certification that is compliant with the Green Building Index (GBI) Certified rating, the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold rating, and CONQUAS Quality Assessment for building construction works.
The RM2.5 billion development boasts mixed property developments, as well as infrastructure such as the new traffic management tunnel, an underpass, flyovers and a pedestrian bridge. Damansara City aims to blend itself into the surroundings, with potential to raise the value of the entire Damansara Heights neighbourhood.
“The jewel of Damansara Heights, Damansara City is an integrated development consisting of two Grade-A office towers, two high-rise towers of luxury residences, an F&B-centric lifestyle mall and a 5-star hotel. It is a designated Entry Point Project under the Economic Transformation Programme to elevate Malaysia to developed nation status by 2020 and has already started to bring new life to the established high-end enclave of Damansara Heights. We are very excited at the prospect of the development coming to life and the spawning of a new community in the neighbourhood very soon,” said GuocoLand managing director Tan Lee Koon.
Following the topping out ceremony, it was announced that Damansara City will be welcoming residents by the end of the year and corporate tenants by the second quarter of 2016.

Exclusive Lifestyle
The two 28-storey luxury residential towers in Damansara City, dubbed as DC Residency, will allocate 370 units of contemporary, yet luxurious homes. The layout ranges from 1-bedroom to 3+1 bedrooms and penthouses, with built-up areas ranging between 899 sq ft and 2,705 sq ft.
Living in Damansara City, residents and tenants will be pampered with a wide range of facilities including an Olympic-length salt-water pool and an aqua gym for residents and visitors at the DC Residency and the hotel, as well as a walking garden along the rooftop of the retail mall.
Furthermore, Damansara City offers excellent connectivity as Damansara Heights is only a mere five kilometres away from the KL city centre, and is within close proximity to other mature townships like Petaling Jaya, Bangsar and Mont Kiara. Both DC Residency and the lifestyle mall are slated for completion by third quarter of 2015, and the office towers and 5-star hotel will be ready in 2016.
GuocoLand is currently carrying out a series of regional pre-launch roadshows across South East Asia, with Singapore as its first stop. Early adopters can expect additional benefits and bonus packages if they choose to live, work or play in Damansara City.
