ECO Excellence Series: Damansara Seresta Sets a New Benchmark for Sustainable Living

Nestled in the lush surroundings of Bandar Sri Damansara, Damansara Seresta is a high-rise residential development by Land & General Berhad that exemplifies what it means to embed sustainability into every layer of a project. Featuring two towers rising 44 and 49 storeys respectively, the development not only offers panoramic views but also a compelling vision of modern green living.

From early design to post-completion features, Damansara Seresta reflects a deep commitment to ESG principles. The project integrates smart energy-saving designs such as strategic building orientation, natural ventilation, sun-shading, and the use of smart meters. Residents enjoy access to a full suite of amenities - including a rooftop pool, community gardens, and a rainwater harvesting system, all designed to foster a comfortable and environmentally responsible lifestyle.

In line with its sustainability goals, Land & General selected YTL Cement Group’s ECOConcrete™ as part of its commitment to using low-carbon, locally sourced materials that meet Green Building Index (GBI) standards. The concrete’s proven performance and durability played a critical role in ensuring the structural integrity of the towers while reducing embodied carbon emissions.

As the project’s contractor, Yuen Seng Construction Sdn Bhd was instrumental in making these sustainable materials work on site. The team found ECOConcrete™ easy to integrate with minimal changes to routine processes. Supported by YTL Cement’s technical experts throughout trial stages, the material was eventually adopted at scale, proving that sustainable choices can be practical and scalable.

Damansara Seresta is one of the projects recognised under the ECO Excellence Series, a collaborative initiative by YTL Cement and Sin Chew Daily that honours developers and contractors championing sustainable construction. Through these shared stories, the series aims to inspire more players in the built environment to adopt greener practices and build a better, low-carbon future for Malaysia.
