IJM LAND : ELEVATED LIVING TAKES FORM AT NOVA PHASE 1

What began as a vision for a low-density hillside sanctuary has now taken shape, as IJM Land marks the vacant possession (VP) of NOVA Phase 1, the first phase of its freehold landed enclave in Seremban 2 Heights (S2 Heights).

Framed by lush slopes, elevated terrain and panoramic views of rolling hills and lake landscapes, NOVA was conceived as a hillside address where the natural contours of the land define its character and sense of place. The thoughtfully preserved landscape creates a feeling of openness and tranquillity, allowing residents to experience the surrounding greenery and expansive views as an integral part of everyday living.

The experience continues through green approach roads, limited access and gentler traffic flow, creating a composed sense of arrival. Across NOVA, tropical contemporary architecture, spacious layouts and sustainable planning allow families to enjoy privacy, comfort and a closer relationship with the surrounding landscape.

With Phase 1 achieving an 80% take-up rate, NOVA has progressed from a well-received launch into an established hillside address. Homeowners can now experience its design quality, landscaped surroundings, community facilities and lifestyle offerings beyond plans and artist impressions.

Vacant possession marks a significant milestone where vision translates into reality, reinforcing IJM Land’s commitment to delivering quality landed homes shaped by thoughtful planning, sustainable design and enduring value.

Spanning 32.24 acres, NOVA comprises 161 units across two phases, offering an intimate neighbourhood character on elevated terrain. The first phase, launched on 29 June 2024, comprises 64 two-storey semi-detached homes, five two-storey bungalows and four bungalow lots, with an estimated Gross Development Value of RM154 million.

“NOVA was planned with a clear intention: to create a hillside address where the setting, homes, landscape and facilities work together to support family living. With Phase 1 now reaching vacant possession, homebuyers can see how that vision has been translated into the streets, green spaces and residential environment around them,” said Datuk Chai Kian Soon, COO of IJM Land.

“The 80% take-up for Phase 1 reflects sustained market confidence in well-planned freehold landed homes that bring together design, liveability, security and township convenience,” he added.

DESIGNED FOR FAMILY GROWTH

Guided by the philosophy of “Where Legacy Meets Luxury,” NOVA presents a refined expression of tropical contemporary living, where timeless architectural design meets everyday functionality. Crafted for multi-generational living, each residence features thoughtful layouts, clean architectural lines, abundant natural light, cross-ventilation and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating an elegant environment designed to evolve with families across generations.

The thoughtfully planned layouts are designed to support changing lifestyles, accommodating daily routines, moments of tranquillity, entertaining, working from home and the different stages of family growth.

The semi-detached homes offer generous built-up areas of 3,370 sq ft, with land sizes ranging from 3,601 sq ft to 7,580 sq ft. The bungalows feature built-up areas from 4,247 sq ft to 4,463 sq ft, with land sizes ranging from 6,088 sq ft to 7,888 sq ft. These expansive plots provide residents with the flexibility to create personalised spaces for relaxation, hosting, work and family activities within their own private sanctuary.

Material selection and architectural detailing further enhance NOVA’s residential experience. Each residence features porcelain tiles, heat-insulating roof layers, light grey tinted glass and powder-coated aluminium window frames, carefully selected to support thermal comfort, ease of maintenance and long-term durability.

Reflecting the needs of modern homeowners, every unit is equipped with smart home features, including digital door locks, door sensors, lighting and air-conditioning controls, CCTV points and an EV-ready isolator point at the car porch, offering enhanced convenience, security and connectivity.

GREEN LIVING, SHAPED BY THE HILLSIDE

At NOVA, green living is anchored in the seamless integration of nature into daily life. Set within a hillside enclave, the development offers sweeping views of rolling hills and the lake, while thoughtfully planned parks, trails and open spaces create opportunities for residents to move, pause, connect and enjoy the outdoors within their own neighbourhood.

Approximately 4.27 acres are dedicated to four thematic parks and landscaped green spaces, creating a natural environment designed around different rhythms of living. Shaded pathways invite morning walks, jogging routes encourage active evenings, and open spaces provide families with places to gather, relax and enjoy meaningful moments together.

A signature feature of NOVA is its private jungle hiking trail, offering residents exclusive access to a scenic route through the natural hillside terrain. Beyond recreation, the trail fosters a deeper appreciation of the surrounding landscape, encouraging light hikes, outdoor exploration and meaningful moments immersed in nature.

Enhancing this lifestyle are a dedicated 3km jogging track, a private Community Villa with swimming pool and gym, a multi-purpose full-size basketball court that also accommodates pickleball, outdoor fitness zones, Yoga Plaza, community gardening areas, Central Park and an interactive Linear Park.

NOVA’s commitment to sustainable living is reinforced through its GreenRE Bronze Provisional certification. The development incorporates practical sustainability features, including rainwater harvesting systems, solar thermal hot water systems, heat-insulating roof layers, solar-powered park lighting and passive design strategies that maximise natural ventilation.

Together, these elements create a thoughtfully crafted hillside sanctuary where sustainability, recreation and community come together, allowing residents to embrace a more connected, balanced and enduring way of life.

A MATURE ADDRESS WITH GROWING VALUE

NOVA’s value is further supported by its location within Seremban 2, a 3,800-acre freehold self-contained township by IJM Land. Over the years, Seremban 2 has grown into one of Negeri Sembilan’s established townships, with residential, commercial, lifestyle and community components already in place.

Residents are within easy reach of established retail, healthcare and education amenities, including Aeon Mall Seremban 2, Mydin Mall, Seremban Gateway, Lotus’s, NSK Trade City, Columbia Asia Hospital, KPJ Seremban Specialist Hospital, SEHAT Healthcare Centre, the upcoming Sena Healthcare, Klinik Kesihatan Seremban 2, Zenith International School and REAL Kids Preschool.

Further strengthening everyday convenience is Nexus, a newly completed commercial lifestyle hub located approximately 300 metres from NOVA. As it continues to welcome new retailers and food and beverage operators, Nexus will bring a curated mix of lifestyle offerings and essential services closer to residents, all within walking or a short drive away.

The wider Seremban 2 Heights precinct continues to benefit from completed amenities and infrastructure upgrades, including S2 Lake Park, Kidz Venture Park, Pet Zone, Interactive Light Zone and the widening of Jalan Labu from two lanes to four lanes, facilitating smoother traffic flow.

NOVA is accessible via the North-South Expressway through the Seremban and Ainsdale toll plazas, the Seremban–Port Dickson Highway and toll-free links to KLIA. The nearby Tiroi KTM Station is located approximately 4 kilometres away via the township link.

THE FINAL RELEASE OF A PROVEN ADDRESS

Following the strong response to Phase 1, NOVA Phase 2 was officially launched on 18 February 2025 and has achieved a 70% take-up rate. As the final phase of the 161-unit master plan, Phase 2 presents the last opportunity for buyers to become part of the fully realised NOVA community.

With an estimated GDV of RM178 million, the final release comprises 88 units of freehold, individually titled two-storey semi-detached homes, featuring generous land sizes ranging from 3,601 sq ft to 7,821 sq ft.

Now that Phase 1 has reached vacant possession, the completed homes, landscaped environment and community facilities provide prospective buyers with a tangible experience of the lifestyle NOVA offers, further reinforcing confidence in this established hillside community.

“Phase 1 demonstrates the strength of a master-planned community where every element is designed to complement the next. NOVA’s enduring value lies in the integration of its elevated setting, generous green spaces, well-designed homes, community facilities, recreational trails and wider township conveniences. Together, these elements create a residential environment that supports the way families live, grow and connect across generations. As the final release, Phase 2 presents a rare opportunity for homeowners to become part of a fully realised hillside community crafted for lasting comfort, meaningful family living and enduring value,” said Datuk Chai.
