For those looking to take household affairs to the next level, IJM Land's cleverly-designed double-storey link houses may just be the answer.

Seremban 2 Heights, a successor of the popular Seremban 2 township, is a low density integrated development that spans over 1,500 acres of prime freehold land and boasts a wide variety of spacious homes as well as amenities. Aside from housing modern and luxury properties, S2 Heights is a development that aims to take conventional living to greater heights.

"As more Smart homes come into the scene, keeping up with relevant technology is quite a meticulous task but a necessary one. We wanted Rimbun Ara to be a cutting-edge home that makes homeowners feel connected to their surroundings. Our objective is to allow homeowners to be inspired by design and the way they experience the space. The feeling at home is called Smart living" said Dato' Hoo Kim See, Senior General Manager (Central Region) of IJM Land. In designing their inaugural Cyberhomes, IJM Land incorporated 5 elements into the development: Energy, Security, Atmosphere, Convenience, and Entertainment for a lifestyle of sheer wholesomeness.

Sited on high grounds with an undulating terrain, Rimbun Ara was developed with the tech-savvy homeowner in mind. Smart features are integrated, serving as quiet providers; they complement their concrete cousin, and cater to the higher needs of its owners. "We hope by adopting certain elements of Smart home features into our new homes, we are able to enhance intelligent living in homes and provide convenience to our purchasers" continued Dato' Hoo.

Some of the technological perks include a universal Internet of Things (IoT) Hub, a voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant device, Wi-Fi universal remote control, Wi-FiSmart plugs, an indoor Wi-Fi camera, Smart door sensors and infrastructure-ready high-speed internet broadband.

The system is even flexible enough to create temporary passwords for single entries.

Rimbun Ara is strategically located to provide quick and easy access to a number of major expressways that link the development to major centres in the Klang Valley-in the North as well as the key Southern cities of Melaka and JB. It is ideally located beside the Seremban 2 Toll Plaza (2.5km) and the new Ainsdale Toll, a mere 1km away from the resident guardhouse.

Over the last few years, Seremban 2 has continued to see a positive increase of buyers from Klang Valley, many of which are choosing to make Seremban 2 their home while making the daily work commute to Kuala Lumpur via easily accessible and well-networked series of expressways. Rimbun Ara's Cyberhomes are a stepping stone for many more developments to come. "We will continue to explore and take better advantage of sustainable technologies into our homes as well as our future development as a whole-we hope to build livable, smarter and safer developments" said Dato' Hoo.
