Gamuda Land has introduced 'Park Homes', a home typology concept that it is neither a terrace nor a semi-detached home – it is a category on its own which features a unique cluster of eight Park Homes.

According to the developer, the configuration of the homes presents two corner units with every two intermediate units, each boasting large private gardens, aligning with its findings that people prefer homes with direct access to the outdoors and greenery. This layout it added enables the inclusion of an exclusive and gated communal garden that measures 40ft wide for every cluster of the eight homes, enhancing community interaction and connection with nature.

From the outside, the houses resemble four terraced homes in one row, but an aerial view reveals that the corner units are square-shaped while the intermediate units form an L-shape. The Clove will be the first line-up in the 'Park Homes' typology.

"By understanding their pain points and desires, we've innovated a new type of home, setting a fresh standard within the industry and a new lease of life for terrace homes, which makes up a third of the Malaysian housing stock. The outcome, a home that no longer suffers narrow layouts, limited natural light nor have minimal outdoor areas, "said Chu Wai Lune, Chief Executive Officer.

Gamuda said 72% of respondents indicated a desire to live closer to nature, especially post-pandemic. The research also found that customers do not only want to customise off-the-shelf products, but, if possible, large ticket items like homes too – at 86%.

On the topic of the launch date and pricing, Chu mentioned, "As we are finalising the details, we are dedicated to pricing this product competitively to align with market expectations and the affordability of our target audience. We aim to meet the modern needs of homeowners while offering a truly differentiated product with exceptional value, estimated to start from RM750,000."

The Park Homes product typology will be introduced under the product name, The Clove in three of Gamuda Land's satellite townships in the Klang Valley; Gamuda Cove, Gamuda Gardens and The Clove Signature series at twentyfive7 which will feature enhanced fittings and within the mature and developed township with door-step amenities at the established Quayside Mall.
