A practical township development goes hand in hand with ‘integrated’ concept, especially those interlinked with the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) infrastructure. So, what makes a good integrated development?

Integration, placemaking, accessibility and sustainability

It needs to satisfy four key aspects — (1) Integration: ie. combining residential, commercial, social and lifestyle into one, (2) Placemaking: ie. quality places that people want to live, work, play and learn, (3) Accessibility/ connectivity: ie. easily accessible by public transport and connected to surrounding essential facilities, and (4) sustainability: ie. taking into account both the present and future needs.

Case study: Edelweiss at Tropicana Gardens

Edelweiss, the fifth and final tower of the Tropicana Gardens mixed development, fits the profile for a number of reasons.

Neighbouring the affluent Tropicana Indah and smack in the heart of the booming Kota Damansara, Tropicana Gardens by Tropicana Corporation Bhd with a gross development value (GDV) of RM2.3 billion, brings together the best of residential, commercial and all the other socioeconomic qualities within the same master plan.

How can Tropicana Gardens Mall make a huge difference?

Most notably, Edelweiss is interlinked with the 1 million sq. ft. Tropicana Gardens Mall through a 200m dedicated, covered link bridge. The newly opened 7-storey mall with over 300 stores is touted the most happening place in the emerging prime location of Petaling Jaya, where Bandar Utama, TTDI, Damansara and DesaPark City, are all located within 15 minutes away.

Tropicana Gardens Mall can be likened to the heart and soul of the Kota Damansara community and people nearby. For Edelweiss residents and visitors, a mall with everything under one roof makes life more convenient and enjoyable. They can live, shop, work and relax within walking distance of an integrated development, as thoughtfully put together by Tropicana Corporation, the award-winning developer that pioneers the resort-style living to its credit.

Most efficient public transportation: metro train accessibility

The interlinked Surian MRT station not only makes the mall easily accessible, but it can also bring direct footfall traffic to the mall to boost the economic competitiveness of Edelweiss while optimising mobility for convenient living, thus contributing to higher and stable property values.

After all, being accessible by the most efficient public transportation ie. metro train, it gives Edelweiss a huge advantage over others, simply because the development can capitalise on transit ridership to amplify its socioeconomic robustness.

One-stop experience and convenience

Targeting the middle-upper shoppers, Tropicana Gardens Mall houses a big assortment of consumer offerings such as those relating to fashion, beauty, wellness, food and beverages, fitness and entertainment, groceries and other essential products and services.

Two anchor tenants: Village Grocer (51,000 sq. ft.) and MBO Cinemas (80,000 sq. ft.), provide residents and visitors a lifestyle choice for groceries and entertainment, respectively. Other notable tenants include H&M, Xixili, Adidas, Sothys Paris, Guardian, CARs International and Shojikiya.

Tropicana Gardens Mall is also muscled up with a 50,000 sq. ft. exhibition and convention centre to hold trade shows, large conferences, and other large events.

With a focus on experience and convenience, the mall embodies a well curated mix of brands in an ambient environment specifically created for people to socialize and congregate, in addition to fulfilling different consumer wants and needs.

Satisfying sophisticated tastes

Combining a modern retail trend with cosmopolitan spirit, the mall delights the residents of Edelweiss and consumers of sophisticated tastes and stylish preferences with a more engaging, entertaining and relaxing shopping and socialising experience, beyond traditional confines.

Take the newly opened 6,200 sq. ft. Starbucks Reserve, the largest of its kind in Malaysia, for example. Imagine you are one of the Edelweiss residents, you can just walk over there within a stone’s throw using the interconnected walkways. Or if you have visitors coming by, the iconic coffeehouse can be such a vibrant and inviting meeting place for all of you.
