01Site planning + public realm

A river-edge destination.

Two trefoil towers, an active podium and a landscaped river corridor share one clear ground-plane strategy. A compact footprint leaves 61.6% of the site open for arrival, public spaces, paths and greenery.

Building footprint

38.4%

A compact built presence.

3,287 sqm accommodates the building footprint. It is a site coverage measure, separate from the 6,991 sqm of podium floor area across three levels.

61.6%Open ground · 5,275 sqm
26.1%Effective green · 2,238 sqm
30%Plaza planting · 381 sqm

Effective green = 1,857 sqm general greenery + 381 sqm planted plaza. Plaza planting is already included in the 1,270 sqm plaza allocation. Open ground also includes roads and hardscape.

Movement + preliminary alignment

Clear arrival. A connected landscape.

Schematic coordination basis from the Site Planning + Development Summary, 13 October 2026. Final design and approvals remain subject to the appointed consultants and authorities.

One-way arrival + five access roles

The supplied plan retains an 8.0 m one-way route: main arrival, basement entry, Exit A, Exit B and a western building-service yard. Service operations remain separate from the landmark arrival sequence.

River edge + pedestrian continuity

An approximately 7 m river and a proposed 10–15 m building setback frame the landscaped corridor. The source compares this with a 10 m JPS reserve benchmark; bank boundaries and reserve application require confirmation. Central and linear plazas connect through the 1,062 sqm pedestrian network.

Basement-led parking + emergency access

Below-grade parking preserves the surface for public space and planting; no parking quantity or basement count is specified. The 8 m route is a starting point for fire-access coordination, including turning, loading, overhead clearance, hydrants and access openings.

02Design statement

Creating more than a building.

Royal Cascade Genting is envisioned as a next-generation mountain destination where architecture, nature, hospitality-led experience and lifestyle converge.

The concept transforms a 2.11-acre highland site into an address designed for living, visiting, investing and creating memories — 350 homes above a podium that welcomes the whole mountain.

01

Experience

Memorable moments from the landscaped arrival plaza to the resident discovery plaza above.

02

Identity

A recognisable trefoil silhouette, softened by curving balconies planted on every floor.

03

Value

Architecture, experience and brand working together as a long-term value thesis.

04

Community

A layered ecosystem for residents, visitors and development partners.

03The opportunity

Why Genting?

The investment thesis explores how an established highland tourism destination could support a new premium residential and lifestyle category.

  1. Established tourism ecosystem
  2. Distinct mountain environment
  3. Domestic and international destination awareness
  4. Potential demand for lifestyle residences
  5. Luxury highland inventory gap to be market-tested

04The concept

One stacked ecosystem.

Public energy below, residential calm above. A broad arrival plate steps inward — approximately 2 m at every level — into a lifestyle mall and a resident community floor, then lifts two equal towers of perimeter-facing homes. One stacked core system ties it all together.

Nature first

Architecture follows the landscape — mountain terraces, forest canopies and cloud formations give the project its form.

Timeless luxury

Elegant, curved, softly planted forms designed to last beyond trends.

Wellness living

Homes, amenities and plazas shaped around wellbeing in the highland climate.

05Architectural concept

The trefoil tower.

Three softly curved wings radiate from one compact lift, stair and corridor core. Living spaces face outward to the mountains; a continuous planted balcony wraps every floor and gives each tower its flowing, layered silhouette.

  2. 02Living and sleeping spaces align with the perimeter facade.
  3. 03Curved balconies create a continuous planted outer edge.

06Three-level podium

Arrive, gather, belong.

6,991 sqm across three progressively reduced plates and 65 commercial and amenity points — with one central atrium, public escalators and stacked cores creating a single continuous podium experience.

Development status & key assumptions

Concept status, clearly stated.

  1. Schematic design only — not an offer, authority submission, tender, sale or construction document.
  2. The title reviewed records “Rekreasi (Camp-Site) Sahaja”; any variation and mixed-use / high-rise approval must be confirmed against current official documents.
  3. Podium dimensions in black are supplied-envelope references; green values remain indicative test-fit guidance.
  4. The site schedule records 29 total levels, a 3,287 sqm building footprint and basement-led parking. Boundary, contours, river reserve, access and parking capacity require survey and specialist confirmation.
  5. Structure, fire, traffic, geotechnical, drainage, MEP, façade, landscape and sustainability strategies require specialist coordination.
  6. Images marked “concept visual” are AI-assisted mood images and indicative only. Dimensional alignment is a coordination basis, not statutory approval.
