ARA DAMANSARA – Sime Darby Property Berhad (“Sime Darby Property” or the “Company”) continues to captivate homebuyers and investors, as demonstrated by the remarkable success of its recent launches at Elmina City Centre.

These milestones highlight the burgeoning demand for high-quality, strategically located developments within the award-winning City of Elmina, emphasising its appeal as a vibrant, connected, and sustainable urban hub.
With a selection of 44 freehold units comprising two and three-storey shop offices with built-up areas ranging from 3,360 sq. ft. to 5,019 sq. ft., JUMPA is set to accommodate the needs of diverse types of businesses. The property, which spans 7.32 acres, offers buyers a choice of five types of units with intermediate lots starting from RM1.93 million.
Sime Darby Property’s Chief Operating Officer – Township Development, Appollo Leong, stated, “The overwhelmingly positive response to JUMPA reflects the rising demand for well-designed, accessible business spaces in the area. We recognise the unique appeal of the City of Elmina and are committed to driving its growth as a community hub that continues to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population, while transforming into a vibrant, connected destination that allows businesses to thrive.”
Kanopi, the first phase of serviced apartments within Elmina City Centre, represents the perfect blend of accessibility, modernity, and natural surroundings.
