KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor-based Worldwide Holdings Bhd, through its division Worldwide Property, has been awarded the title of "Best Wellness Township Development" for its project Daunan Worldwide.
The accolade was presented at the 4th Asean Property Developer Awards 2023/2024 by Des Prix Infinitus Media, which celebrates excellence in the property sector across Southeast Asia.
Hamyzar Toha, chief operating officer of Worldwide Property, accepted the award during the awards gala dinner in Petaling Jaya recently.
Launched in 2019, Daunan Worldwide has previously been honoured with the "Landscape Masterplan Merit Award" by the Malaysia Institute of Landscape Architecture in 2017, among others.
It is a 439-acre township in Alam Perdana, Selangor, with a gross development value (GDV) of about RM2.1 billion.
The development comprises 14 phases, with two phases completed and handed over, while two subsequent phases are currently under construction.
Units for Phase 3, Lemuni, are now open for sale, targeting young, millennial homebuyers and upgraders.
Daunan Worldwide distinguished itself in the best wellness township development category due to the availability of nearby health facilities, lush green spaces, recreational areas, sustainability practices, community engagement initiatives such as wellness programs, and accessibility to major highways.
The development also features innovative design, quality products and ample security measures.
Inspired by WHB's three pillars of wellness – physical, social and environmental – each residential phase in Daunan Worldwide includes children playgrounds, landscaped green areas and abour half an acre of communal urban farming plots, encouraging residents to engage in social and gardening activities.
Additionally, the township boasts a 13.3-acre man-made lake with four islands connected by a boardwalk, serving as central gathering spots for residents.
Other amenities include a 1.8km jogging track, an international-standard football field, a promenade and a lush landscape by the lake as its "green lungs."
Hamyzar said the award is a testament to WHB's dedication to quality in every aspect of project development, from planning and design to execution.
"Worldwide Property has long applied the wellness concept in our past developments, such as the low-density Subang Bestari, which accommodates an average of eight units per acre, and Puncak Bestari with 35 per cent net development area, ensuring efficient space for spacious living, green areas and health-oriented facilities.
In the next half year, WHB plans to launch several new residential phases with Bukit Bandaraya Shah Alam as the highlight.
This will be the last terrace house enclave in the Shah Alam city centre, offering a pristine environment to prospective buyers, as the development is located adjacent to the Bukit Cherakah forest reserve.
