What sets it apart
Sunway D'Hill is a two-tower mixed development of 976 homes next to a forest reserve, with every unit facing the hill. Shoppers use a front entrance and residents a separate one at the back, and all 29 shops are held and leased by the developer. A weatherproof drop-off, speed ramps to six car park levels and a step-free route lead home.
The facility deck is the most densely landscaped Sean has seen, with an infinity lap pool, elevated walkways, sunken courts and a glass gym. The 1,238 sq ft, four-bedroom Type D, with a glass-walled wet kitchen, was RM850,000, about RM700 psf, on leasehold commercial land.
Where it is
It is on Persiaran Mahogany, the quieter, residential side of Kota Damansara lined with bungalows and schools, one road from Persiaran Surian's Thomson Hospital, SRI KDU, malls, MRT and the DASH highway. Kwasa Damansara is across the street.
Rent and returns
Sean calls D'Hill a project designed for own stay, and says he wouldn't mind living there himself. With other completed projects nearby, he puts three-bedroom rents at about RM3 psf, which he says makes sense at this price.
Two ramps that skip the climb
Instead of circling up the car park level by level, drivers take one speed ramp to level two and a second straight to level six, so even the top floor is a short drive, with a level apron outside each lift lobby. Sean calls it a clever use of the speed ramp.
3 on 3
The three things Sean likes and the three he doesn't, from his own list at the end of the episode.
- 1A developer that keeps improving: separate commercial and residential entrances, a covered, naturally ventilated drop-off that feels like a convention centre, and a private lobby for each tower.
- 2The landscape and details: winding paths on several levels, sunken courts next to visitor parking, two speed ramps, step-free access, magnetic fire doors and every unit framing the hill.
- 3A balance of town and nature on a tight budget: the calm of Persiaran Mahogany, with the hospital, MRT, university, industry and DASH one road away.
- 1The micro site: Persiaran Mahogany is a four-lane road, so engines will be loud against the quiet, and social housing and old apartments surround the site.
- 2The mixed development: the shops are almost fully let and are the nearest groceries, so the podium may get crowded, though developer management and a back service lane help.
- 3Competition: five or six new projects across the road in Kwasa Damansara. D'Hill's edge is that it is finished, with three-bedroom rents of around RM3 psf.
Among the hillside projects Sean has seen lately, this one stands out at its price, especially for buyers who want to move in now.
