TROPICANA CENANG PHASES 1 & 2 CELEBRATE 100% TAKE-UP & TOPPING OFF MILESTONE

• Tropicana Cenang celebrated another milestone for its award-winning phases 1 & 2 – Assana Serviced  Suites and Merissa Serviced Suites with a Topping Off ceremony. 

• Both phases recorded 100% take-up, and to cater to market demand, the third and final phase – Clarissa  Serviced Suites, was launched with the unveiling of its brand-new show unit. 

• This sustainable development aims to achieve GreenRE certification, showing the Group’s commitment  to its 3 ESG pillars. 

For more than a decade, Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana”)  has shown its interest in Langkawi, a UNESCO Global Geopark and a top tourist destination in  Malaysia. Recognising Langkawi’s largely untapped potential, Tropicana accelerated its growth  plan and by 2020, Tropicana Cenang was introduced on the shores of Langkawi as the first  integrated, well-planned and green building development. Tropicana Cenang, aptly named after  the popular and bustling Cenang beach, sits on a 5.28-acre freehold land that comprises serviced  suites and retail components. Its phase 1 & 2, Assana and Merissa Serviced Suites, recently  celebrated a major milestone with a Topping Off ceremony, on track for completion in 2026. Having recorded 100% take-up, both phases are home to 831 and 60 units, respectively. 

To cater to the market demand, the third and final phase – Clarissa Serviced Suites was launched  together with its brand-new show unit. Aligned with the Group’s ESG commitments, both phases  will adhere to the GreenRE building specifications and the quality of this development will also  be assessed by Quality Assessment System in Construction (“QLASSIC”), a workmanship  certification body. 

Representing Tropicana were Allan Wong, MD of Project, and Ixora Ang, MD of Marketing & Sales and Business Development. Both emphasised on Tropicana visionary plan for the Jewel of Kedah,  “Tropicana has expanded its foothold to Langkawi for more than a decade now. Langkawi is  known for its duty-free status, cultural heritage, and its rich geological history dating back half a  billion years, including mountains, islands, and beaches. We see the huge growth potential and  over the years, we have engaged with various stakeholders, showing our support to the  community and authority with R&R upgrade, infrastructure enhancement and charity initiatives.”

“In 2020, we accelerated our growth plan with the introduction of Tropicana Cenang, the first  integrated, well-planned and green building development in Langkawi. Today, our phase 1 & 2,  Assana and Merissa Serviced Suites, recorded 100% take-up and celebrated their topping off  ceremony. With such strong demand, we are rolling out our phase 3, Clarissa Serviced Suites, together with a brand-new show unit. Our audience is largely savvy homebuyers, business  owners, and families looking for holiday homes,” they added.  

Also present at this milestone event were Yang Berusaha Tuan Haji Zulkifli bin Abdullah, Senior  Chief Assistant District Officer of Langkawi; Encik Alwi Shakir Abdullah, Manager of Langkawi  Tourist Information Centre; Jeremiah Tan, Executive Director of Temokin Group; Terenze Tee,  Associate Director of SA Architects and Ar. Syah Kamaruddin, Principal and Director of  Veritas Architects. At the event, Yang Berusaha Tuan Haji Zulkifli expressed that Langkawi is proud  to have the presence of Tropicana, an expert master planner and community builder that has  crafted many vibrant and thriving townships across Malaysia. “We hope with Tropicana’s  presence and support in Langkawi, we will bring it to greater heights, cementing Langkawi’s position as a top destination for holiday makers and retirees in Malaysia. This will also strengthen  our economic growth for the community and businesses in this region,” he imparted.
