Petaling Jaya, 13th June 2024 – Selangor’s prominent conglomerate, Worldwide Holdings Berhad (WHB), through its division Worldwide Property, has been awarded the title of ‘Best Wellness Township Development’ for its project Daunan Worldwide. This accolade was presented at the 4th ASEAN Property Developer Awards 2023/2024, organized by Des Prix Infinitus Media, which celebrates excellence in the property sector across Southeast Asia. Sr. Hamyzar Toha, Chief Operating Officer of Worldwide Property, accepted the award on behalf of WHB during the Awards Gala Dinner held at One World Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
Launched in 2019, Daunan Worldwide has previously been honored with the “Landscape Masterplan Merit Award” by the Malaysia Institute of Landscape Architecture in 2017 and “The Family-Friendly Award” by StarProperty in 2020. It is a 439-acre township in Alam Perdana, Selangor, with an approximate GDV of RM2.1 billion. The development comprises 14 phases, with 2 phases successfully 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’s playgrounds, landscaped green areas and approximately 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 1.8 km jogging track, an international-standard football field, a promenade, and a lush landscape by the lake as its “green lungs.”
Commenting on this latest accolade, Sr. Hamyzar Toha stated, “True to WHB’s core value of ‘Excellence,’ this award is a testament to our dedication to quality in every aspect of project development, from planning and design to execution. This recognition also underscores our commitment to delivering affordable yet luxurious living spaces for thriving communities through the incorporation of sought-after wellness and communal lifestyle features in our projects.”
“Worldwide Property has long applied the wellness concept in our past developments, such as the low-density Subang Bestari, which accommodates an average of 8 units per acre, and Puncak Bestari with 35% net development area, ensuring efficient space for spacious living, green areas and health-oriented facilities. These allow residents to escape the hustle and bustle of modern living and engage in communal activities that foster interaction and community engagement. These value-added concepts have proven attractive to many of our homebuyers, including those at Daunan Worldwide and the fully booked Lyra Residensi, launched in Cyberjaya last month,” added Sr. Hamyzar, who also received the ‘Innovative Developer’ award on behalf of Worldwide Property, celebrating outstanding developers across the ASEAN region for their innovation and passion in building communities and economies.
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 750-acre Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve.
