Skyworld celebrates two milestones
Top off ceremony to mark early completion of Ascenda Residences and
announcement of new 1-km flyover.
IN RECORDED history, the orang asli
were the earliest inhabitants of the
mukim, now named Setapak, after its
headman Batu Tapak - that was then, the
19th Century, to be exact. Today Setapak
is a thriving township that is soon to get
more vibrant with SkyArena, a flagship
project by city developer SkyWorld
Development Group, in the wake of its
successful (100% take-up rate) SkyAwani
Residence @ Bandar Baru, Sentul under
the Rumah Mampu Milik Wilayah
Persekutuan (RUMAWIP) Housing
Scheme.
Recently, at the SkyArena, there was
cause to celebrate two milestones by
SkyWorld, namely:
early completion of infrastructure
works for Ascenda Residences, its first
residential phase three months ahead
of schedule, and,
announcements of a new 1-km flyover
and upgrading of a 2-km trunk road,
to a four-lane carriageway, that leads
to/from SkyArena, representing
SkyWorld’s CSR contribution to the
community
A topping-off ceremony, staged at
the rooftop of Ascenda, marked the
auspicious occasion, officiated by guests of
honour YB Dato’ Ahmad Fauzi Bahari, MP
Setiawangsa, and YBhg Datuk Hj Mohd
Najib, Pengarah Eksekutif Perancangan,
