When it comes to owning a property, financing is often one of the biggest burdens faced by homebuyers

From expensive downpayments to high interest rates, many Malaysians are unable to move forward despite finding the home of their dreams.

Well, fret not. SkyWorld Development Berhad is partnering with RHB Bank to provide homebuyers with an exclusive Green Home Financing scheme. Instead of the conventional mortgage margin of 90%, homeowners can get up to 95% financing for SkyWorld's green-certified home, Curvo Residences. This represents a significant stride in fostering sustainable living within the property sector.

Curvo Residences — the final residential phase of the 28-acre SkyArena master development in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur — is certified with Green Building Index (GBI), reflecting the company's ethos of sustainable development.

"Our pursuit of sustainable building practices is not merely a commitment; it is a cornerstone of our philosophy. We emphasise passive design in all our developments, focusing on essential analyses including daylighting, thermal comfort, cross ventilation, energy and water efficiency, layout efficiency and environmental assessment," said Lee Chee Seng, Chief Executive Officer of SkyWorld Development.

Wanna live close to the city, while also being able to come home to a relaxing and serene environment?

Curvo Residences is SkyWorld's award-winning condominium in Setapak that checks all these boxes and more.

Imagine driving home through a 200m tree-lined boulevard driveway to a beautiful development with 3.5 acres of greenery — that's what living in Curvo Residences is like.

The interior design (ID) of Curvo Residences is inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi. The word "wabi" comes from the root word "wa" and carries the meaning of harmony, tranquillity, and balance; while "sabi" expresses the effect of time on an object.

Curvo Residences embraces wabi-sabi in its ID concept with an emphasis on using raw textures, earthy hues, and natural materials for its interiors and exteriors. By doing so, the property hopes to cultivate a sense of joy and respite for its residents from the bustling cities outside.

Curvo Residences has been honoured with the Residential High Rise Architecture Award at the prestigious Asia Pacific Property Awards 2023 and The Skyline Award 2023 by Star Property.

Reflecting this benchmark, Curvo Residences has also complied with the QLASSIC standard and has a Green Certified Building certification which will cater to not only first-time homebuyers but also multi-generational families looking to stay in adjacent units.

One of the highlights of Curvo Residences is its unique north-south orientation, which gives every unit natural daylight and ventilation

Known as a "Green Building Project", Curvo Residences offers a breezy, well-ventilated living experience. Its daylighting design allows residents to enjoy natural daylight, which not only saves electricity, but also creates visually stunning lighting patterns that evolve throughout the day.

Besides that, you'll be surrounded by relaxing greenery at every corner, from the tree-lined driveway to facilities within the building that include a nature rhythm park, forest jog trail, cycling lane, urban hydroponic farm, and terrace garden, which also act as a green lung to the development.

Additionally, Curvo Residences is designed with solar PV panels at flat rooftop areas, which not only adds another source of renewable energy for residents, but also maximises usage of leftover space in the building.

In fact, there are over 50 facilities spread across multiple levels, allowing you to come right home to a wellness retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Take leisurely strolls with your family at level sub-basement, where you'll find various trails to explore. Or, bring your bike to level ground to ride on a designated cycling lane that brings you around the entire development.

Unwind at the infinity lap pool at the podium (level 7), where you'll also find a host of other facilities and pockets of greenery. The skybridge (level 29 & 30) also houses a Sky Gym, Sky Golfers Arena, Co-Working Oasis, and many more hangout spots. And for the best view, head up all the way to the skydeck (level 43A) for a panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur and beyond.

Curvo Residences has a distinctive facade with a high-low combination of towers, featuring a total of 830 units, which range from 952 sq ft to 1,345 sq ft.

The wide frontage unit layouts offer three to four bedrooms, as well as two to three bathrooms. What's cool is that every unit comes with a balcony, and is designed to allow natural daylight in, while facilitating cross ventilation. Unit layouts at Curvo Residences are practical and versatile, giving residents the flexibility to personalise their homes to suit their lifestyle.

The innovative high-rise is also designed with the modern-day city dweller in mind. It features a Lift Intelligent Group Control System for shorter lift wait times, as well as an Automated Waste Control System (AWCS) for better hygiene. There are also electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, car park utility rooms, and speed ramps that offer direct access to your parking levels.

Curvo Residences is highly accessible, while also offering stunning, unobstructed views of KL city, which is hard to come by these days

Curvo Residences is located 5km from the KL city centre, with convenient access to the Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE), Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), and Jalan Genting Klang.

For public transport, Wangsa Maju LRT Station, Sri Rampai LRT Station, and Setiawangsa LRT Station are within the vicinity, while the upcoming MRT Line 3 station in Setapak is slated for completion in 2024.

In terms of education, families with children will benefit from the various schools close by, including Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management And Technology (TARUMT), Sri Utama International School, and Fairview International School.

Medical facilities like Columbia Asia Hospital, KPJ Tawakkal KL Specialist Hospital, and KL General Hospital also ensure that emergencies and general health matters are well attended to.

For lifestyle or practical amenities, residents have a wide array of shopping malls to choose from — Setapak Central Mall, Wangsa Walk Mall, and Melawati Mall are all just a stone's throw away. Plus, Curvo Residences is less than 10km away from the KL city centre or Mid Valley and Bangsar areas.

Ultimately, the presence of these holistic living elements is a testament to SkyWorld Development Berhad's commitment to crafting living spaces that resonate with the desires and aspirations of homebuyers

Safe to say, Curvo Residences — a development by SkyWorld Development Berhad, winner of the FIABCI Malaysia Property Award 2022 & 2023 (affordable housing category) — is bound to turn heads and impress your guests. But most importantly, it will provide you a home that you'll enjoy living in for many years to come!
