Each aspect, no matter how finite, was meticulously crafted to bring a sense of living within nature amid the urban backdrop of Kuala Lumpur city. We have always envisioned Curvo Residences to embody the very meaning of sustainable living, bolstered and emboldened by seamless natural elements to promote a perfect balance between the hectic day-to-day habits of city life and nature-inspired tranquillity.”

The development is also connected via several major highways including the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE), Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH) as well as the Jalan Genting Klang Highway. SkyArena itself boasts an impressive estimated GDV of RM2.3 billion and will be built over four phases (three residential and one commercial) across 28 acres of leasehold land.

“We see Curvo Residences’ green features as an essential component of SkyArena’s integrated development project, emphasising the importance of creating high-quality, sustainable, and community-oriented living spaces.
