The Ridge Garden, Bukit Banyan’s luxury precinct launching in November

More than just a roof over your head, a home is the canvas where you paint the experiences of your life, love and laughter.

Understanding this, Paramount Property, the people’s developer, has designed the Bukit Banyan township such that Sungai Petani residents can live a modern lifestyle, up close to nature, in wellness and with abundance.

Bukit Banyan provides people in the northern region with the comforts of modern living amidst green outdoor spaces comprising pocket parks, walking and jogging tracks along water bodies, and a landscaped 25-acre hill park in the heart of the 520-acre township of undulating terrain.

The majestic public hill park won Gold at the EdgeProp-ILAM Malaysia’s Sustainable Landscape Awards in the Landscape Planning category at EdgeProp Malaysia’s Best Managed & Sustainable Property Awards 2021.

The entire township boasts 18% of green spaces, which is close to double the 10% requirement of the local council.

Bukit Banyan, launched in 2012, is Paramount Property’s third township in Kedah and is the first elevated township in Sungai Petani.

Thoughtfully designed for multi-generational families

Bukit Banyan today offers more than 3,000 landed homes in eight gated-and-guarded precincts, and a 13-acre commercial centre. The home designs have been thoughtfully created to cater to multi-generational families including bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor that are respectful of the needs of the elderly.

All homes in Bukit Banyan enjoy their own precinct’s 24-hour security posts.

Owners also enjoy significantly lower maintenance fees (paying only for security) because the development’s upkeep is under the local council as Bukit Banyan is not a strata development.

To cater to growing demand, Paramount Property acquired another 137 acres of land in late 2020 to expand the township in 2024.

New home launches with attractive deals

In the immediate future, a new precinct called The Ridge Garden is set to launch soon. The low-density luxury precinct with only 30 units of double-storey semi-detached homes and 19 units of double-storey bungalows is now open for registration.

Paramount is also offering subsidies of RM20,000 for solar panel installations for this launch to support the country’s transition into renewable energy.

The premium project is on the highest level of the residential terrain and right next to Hill Park.

The best time to buy a home at Bukit Banyan is now, as Paramount Property is running the Big Mega Win campaign, which will end on Dec 31.

On top of a chance to win prizes every month, buyers will also stand a chance to win the grand prize of the fully electric BMW iX1. The campaign also offers a variety of deals, benefits, and subsidies, providing more value for your homebuying journey.

Paramount Property is also offering free legal fees and stamp duty for sale and purchase agreements (SPA) and loan agreements, and subsidies off the stamp duty for memorandums of transfer, with terms and conditions. Bumiputera lots come with an additional 5% savings.

As for past launches, only Malay lots are still available, including the Sierra 3A Elegant semi-detached homes launched in February 2023 with built-ups of 3,291 sq ft and land area of 40 ft by 85 ft. Unit prices start from RM819,900.

Coming to connect with nature

Bukit Banyan Hill Park is probably one of the most visited parks in the northern region of the peninsula, where people from all walks of life come to connect with nature. A myriad of facilities are offered at Hill Park’s nine themed gardens, including rock-climbing walls, walking and jogging tracks, exercise stations, a qi garden, a maze made of tall hedges, gazebos and even a tree-house made from repurposed chengal hardwood. Bukit Banyan Hill Park is possibly the highest recreational park in Kedah at 71m above sea level.
