Sime Darby Property has upped the ante, redefining its property offerings with the launch of the Royale Palms Villas – 36 units of premium and guarded community villas in Putra Heights.

The collection of the luxurious two and three-storey villas, priced from RM1,388,888, is Sime Darby Property’s newest development after the unveiling of Sime Darby’s new corporate brand and logo on Nov 28.

Built and designed with discerning homebuyers in mind, the Royale Palms detached homes offer a generous built-up area of between 4,170 sq ft and 4,900 sq ft and a choice of two designs for the three-storey units.

“The exclusivity of Royale Palms with many exceptional features will appeal to homebuyers and investors who are seeking a better quality of life and want to live richly,” said Sime Darby Property Executive Vice-President – Property Development and Strategic Investments, Dato’ Tunku Badlishah.

“The collection of Royale Palms villas is our first roll-out of luxury homes as part of our new focus on the higher-end segment of the property market to meet the demands of the increasingly affluent and “lifestyle seeking” homebuyers,” he added.

Royale Palms is strategically located in the 727-hectare Putra Heights – an integrated township of mixed residential and commercial development, including the newly completed Putra Point town centre of 324 units of two and three-storey shop offices.  Putra Heights also enjoys excellent accessibility vis-à-vis Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong and the ELITE Highway when the new interchange, now under construction, is ready by 2009.

Apart from spaciousness and generous garden space, the contemporary-designed villas include oversized windows and doors to encourage free flow of natural light and ensure better ventilation.

Another compelling feature is the choice of two master bedrooms with en-suites or master bedroom (3rd floor) and a large family hall (2nd floor) for its three-storey villas.

Standard features for Royale Palms include:

•  Minimum five en-suites (attached bathrooms)
• Four feet wide staircase
• Three-phase wiring
• Solar hot water system
• Air-conditioning units in all bedrooms (except utility rooms)
• 11 feet high ceiling
• Home alarm system
• Auto-gate system
• Lighting arrestor and surge protector system
• Concrete inprint for car porch and driveway
• Concealed drainage and services for a cleaner environment

Upon completion of the guarded Royale Palms Villas, buyers can enjoy free guarded access until December 2011.

For a limited period of time, Sime Darby Property is offering between RM65,000 and RM80,000 worth of the Bofi kitchen system complete with electrical appliances and fittings, including fridge, micro-wave oven, oven, hood, hob and food waste disposer for the early bird buyers.

Sime Darby Property is also offering an attractive home financing package – HSBC Home Smart – which allows end-financing of up to 80 per cent of the property’s value at BLR – 1.85 per cent throughout the entire loan tenure.  Loan payments will only commence upon delivery of vacant possession.

To enjoy this attractive home financing package, buyers only need to pay 10 per cent upon signing the Sales and Purchase agreement and place 10 per cent of the loan’s value in a HSBC fixed deposit account which enjoys an attractive interest of 6.8 per cent per annum.

Scale model units of the Royale Palms Villas are available for viewing at Sime Darby Property’s Sales Gallery at Wisma UEP in UEP Subang Jaya.  The sales gallery is open seven days a week, including public holidays between 9.30am and 6.30pm.
