PETALING JAYA, 12 March 2010  The new exclusive, low-density development in the highly sought and fast appreciating Ara Damansara township  is the latest embodiment of Sime Darby Property's (SDP) commitment to sustainability, security and luxury.

The discerning tone of Seri Pilmoor is set by a magnificent 2,700 sq ft conservatory at its entrance, known as The Lanai, which cleverly houses the elevated security post and management offices amidst an installation of vines; where state-of-the-art monitoring is carried out by a network of sensors in each house, 24 hour CCTV system and guard patrols. The Lanai also features a swimming pool, wading pool, secure play space for children, kitchenette, meeting rooms, washrooms and a pantry, which makes this exclusive  Residents Only' area the perfect location for communal camaraderie.

With just 74 bungalow retreats (from 6,500 sq ft) and 34 semi-detached sanctuaries (from 4,600 sq ft) ensconced within 28.5 acres of landscaped, elevated, freehold land, Seri Pilmoor offers an opportunity to invest and enjoy a privileged lifestyle in an exclusive, low-density, gated and guarded community. With a Gross Development Value of RM469 million, Seri Pilmoor is Sime Darby Property's first Landed Strata development and is scheduled for completion in March 2013.

Seri Pilmoor offers investors and owners a sanctuary which is exclusive and prestigious. A niche development, Seri Pilmoor predominantly offers distinctive architecture both externally and internally; 50% green footprint; sustainable features which were meticulously designed and thoughtfully planned in line with Sime Darby Property's corporate philosophy of sustainable development, said Dato' Tunku Putra Badlishah, Managing Director of Sime Darby Property.

The low density, wide-frontage with contemporary designs, use of sustainable materials, high level of security and exclusive touches such as the private rooftop pavilions create a residential development in a prime location which is highly desirable yet very limited in its availability, which is what makes Seri Pilmoor so exclusive, added Dato' Tunku Putra Badlishah.

Prices for the bungalows begin from RM4.57 million with 3 design types and 6 different rooftop pavilion layouts, while the semi-detached units begin from RM2.8 million with 2 different pavilion layouts.

The Seri Pilmoor lifestyle is defined by the rooftop pavilions (from 850  1,819 sq ft in the bungalows and 807 sq ft in the semi-detached units) which come with options for a swimming pool, reflective pool or Jacuzzi. The rooftop pavilion could also be turned into a cigar lounge, gymnasium or even a yoga sanctuary.

Laid out in an unconventional yet practical manner, the transverse North  South layout of the homes have been oriented with the route of the sun keeping them cool while reducing energy consumption. This also allows the houses to be illuminated with generous amounts of natural light as well as create wider living spaces such as private courtyards and ample backyards tucked away within living privacy walls.

Inside, each residence has been designed with airy, open spaces which are defined by contemporary, unfussy lines where sheets of floor-to-ceiling glass windows open up to the lush tropical garden. The smooth bamboo flooring complements the indulgent touches throughout the home such as built-in wardrobes, designer kitchen, spa-inspired en-suites for every room and a spacious family den.

Designed to be in harmony with the environment and in compliance with Malaysia's Green Building Index, Seri Pilmoor incorporates features which sustain the land and are environment friendly such as the rainwater harvesting system, use of formaldehyde-free finishes, all-natural products such as the bamboo flooring and asphalt roof shingles which are made from recycled materials.

Each house is also protected by the environmentally responsible Ridpest Termite Protection Plan (TPP) which has been designed to eliminate entire termite colonies. The plan comes with a money back guarantee and cost free repair package which is the first in the market and exclusive to Seri Pilmoor purchasers only.

As it is designed in line with Sime Darby Property's Safe City concept, residents of Seri Pilmoor will also enjoy complete peace of mind with the exclusive total perimeter security system which incorporates a sophisticated perimeter intrusion detection system, home alarm, home automation, video intercom and VOIP calls made possible by an optical fibre network as well as break-in insurance. In addition, homes in Seri Pilmoor are equipped with Digital Smart Home features such as video calls facility to Sime Darby Medical Centre for live consultation and reports. Free calls and video calls are also available using Wi-fi network between all Seri Pilmoor residents and Sime Darby Medical Centre.

Seri Pilmoor has also been assessed by renowned Feng Shui consultant, Mr. Joey Yap, who has verified that the development receives a flow of life-giving Qi from the  hills' to the North, which also creates a  cradle-like' formation that helps to lock in the life-generating Qi for the residents of Seri Pilmoor to ensure an idyllic, auspicious and harmonious life for the residents.

The perfect equilibrium of 50% homes to 50% greens is also harmoniously balanced from a Feng Shui perspective. Each contemporary residence has also been fashioned to further enhance the flow of Qi with design features such as the roof top pavilions facing the wealth creating lakes to the East in Ara Damansara.
