Bursa-listed Malaysian property developer Tropicana Corp marked a key milestone for its Tropicana Metropark’s SouthPlace 2 Shoppes & Residences, an 88-acre integrated township in Subang Jaya in Selangor.
On May 5, the developer celebrated the Topping Off ceremony of SouthPlace 2, one of the freehold residential towers, which is also targeted for completion by March 2027.
“Building on the success of SouthPlace 1, which achieved full take-up, the strong response to SouthPlace 2 reflects buyers’ confidence in our developments,” says Loke Wei Feng, Managing Director of Project for Tropicana.
Collectively, the sales phase of SouthPlace 1 and the first phase of SouthPlace 2 have garnered an 80% take-up rate, with SouthPlace 1 fully sold. The second sales phase of SouthPlace 2 is open, and offers a mix of 583 sq ft one-bedroom units and 1,044 sq ft three-bedroom units.
Units feature an open plan design with a living-dining-kitchen area for greater layout flexibility and interior design options. Some unit types also feature a split open layout that allow an extra room to be created, and can be utilised as a bedroom or study. Each unit comes partially furnished with water-efficient fittings and an air-conditioner inverter.

An urban integrated township built for liveability
The residential towers are directly connected to the retail podium below, and some units enjoy unblocked views of the Urban Park & Shah Alam. The integrated development – which comprises a mix of residential, commercial, educational, and recreational components – is further enhanced by a dedicated link bridge to the Federal Highway.
The integrated township is also connected to other major highways such as the North-South Expressway, LDP, NPE, NKVE, SKVE, and KESAS.
With a 9.2-acre Urban Park and the SouthPlace Shoppes retail podium right below, SouthPlace 2 Residences is conveniently connected to a diverse array of lifestyle amenities within the vibrant community hub.
Apart from lifestyle convenience and urban park integration, the township design also embraces the “15-minute city” trend to elevate liveability for residents. With hypermarkets and shopping malls including Mercato Supermarket and Empire Shopping Gallery in the vicinity, residents also have access to Subang Jaya Medical Centre, MSU Medical Centre and KPJ Specialist.
Shaping landscapes with mega townships
With integrated townships driving steady growth in the Klang Valley property market, Tropicana Metropark’s latest milestone and strong take-up rate illustrates that buyer demand remains resilient. This comes as buyers increasingly prioritise connectivity, integrated amenities, and lifestyle convenience over standalone residential projects, says Tropicana.
The property developer’s track record in creating integrated townships can be seen from its portfolio of developments across Malaysia including Tropicana Alam, its first foray into Puncak Alam which is a 362-acre mixed-use development with residential and commercial components.
Its portfolio also includes Tropicana WindCity in Genting Highlands, a 596-acre mixed-use development spanning three townships and Tropicana Danga Cove in Iskandar Malaysia, which spans 227-acre of integrated development featuring upmarket shop offices and landed homes.
Back in 2024, Tropicana announced plans to build two mega townships worth over RM35 billion (S$10 billion). The first was Lido Waterfront Boulevard, a 90-acre mixed development and integrated transportation hub with serviced residences and retail and hospitality amenities.
The second development was Tropicana Uplands in Gelang Patah near Legoland Malaysia. About an hour’s drive from Singapore, the 244-acre mixed-use development features landed properties and high-rise residential with commercial components, with Educity Iskandar and Legoland nearby.
These developments aim to capitalise on the increased cross-border activity between Johor Bahru and Singapore, with the completion of the Johor-Bahru Rapid Transit System (RTS) which is due to start operations in 2027.
MM2H shaping demand and appetite among Singaporeans for Malaysian properties
Recently, Stacked featured contributed articles by industry leaders on the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme and property demand from Singapore-based buyers exploring regional living options as part of a longer-term lifestyle strategy, especially in Johor Bahru, where the preference leans towards newer condominiums and landed homes in established residential enclaves.
As integrated townships started building successful track records across Klang Valley, land prices inevitably started increasing. The improvement of nearby infrastructure, surrounding tenant ecosystem, reduction in commuting time for residents all point to how integrated developments generally improve land value.
Beyond another residential launch, SouthPlace 2 is a reflection of how developers are conceptualising urban living by combining retail, green spaces, and connectivity into self-contained residential ecosystems.
