Tropicana City is well situated, right at the important junction between Sprint Highway and the LDP. It’s a centralized location for the affluent areas of Damansara Utama, Taman Tun, Section 17 and SS2. In SS2 itself, many citizens have always noted that there isn’t a landmark hypermarket to serve the people’s shopping needs all these years, just like what Carrefour (SS16) and Giant is to Subang Jaya. The relatively new Tesco in Mutiara Damansara is a little too far and can hardly be said to have an impact to SS2. The Giant in the Atria doesn’t count.
So with Tropicana City, a largely untapped retail market is promising, and also the convenient living for young, urban, mobile people looking for a place to live that provides lots of ready facilities at their doorstep, and isn’t too far for them to travel to work in the city.

This area has largely seen a increase in newly launched condos to address this pressing need, evidently from the launches of Ken I, II and III, and the aforementioned Casa Damansara 1 and 2. But with the Tropicana City shopping centre, The Tropics offered something more that the others cannot match, i.e. the convenience of the mall. But as a trade-off, the condo is a serviced apartment, i.e. on commercial title. But as most folks tell you, you can’t have it all, so something’s got to give.
To capitalize on the location, the developer has 7 entry points and 6 exit points into the mall, located on all the surrounding roads, including the construction of a new flyover to Jalan Damansara Lama (according to them, costing RM15million), which will make travel to and from Kota Damansara and TTDI a breeze.
There are actually 2 towers here, linked together, forming a symmetrical ‘V’ shape. There are 601 units here, in 24 levels of apartments, with a common podium of facilities at the rooftop of the mall, as with most developments similar to this. Each tower has a max of 14 units per floor, giving a total of 28. In terms of the view, since there is only two sides to the façade, they’ve named it Damansara View or Pool View.
