KUALA LUMPUR: Paramount Property is setting a new benchmark for township development with the launch of Paramount Embun Hills, a 28ha freehold, gated and guarded community in Bukit Mertajam, Penang.
More than just a township, Paramount Embun Hills is an inspiration for sustainable development — where modern convenience meets sustainability-driven practices, and where homes are designed as legacies for generations.
For discerning homebuyers, it represents more than an address. It is a sanctuary, a statement of sustainable living, and a long-term investment in sustainability and well-being.
Nestled beside a 37ha rainforest reserve, the township blends exclusivity with ecological sensitivity, offering the best of both worlds: serenity and modern connectivity.
Future Township
At Paramount Embun Hills, residents wake up each day to fresh hillside air, morning dew and panoramic views, while enjoying the conveniences of a thoughtfully curated community.
Master-planned with sustainable living in mind, this private sanctuary features 497 gated and guarded double-storey homes, 69 non-gated and guarded double-storey homes and 30 double-storey shop offices in just a 50m stroll away from home.
Living here, families can embrace a lifestyle where verdant parklands and tranquil waterways nurture wellbeing for generations to come.
With a private clubhouse, recreational facilities and boutique shops right at your doorstep, Paramount Embun Hills brings convenience and community closer to home, a commitment of Paramount Property as the people’s developer.
The township is designed to be in line with stringent green certification and ISO standards, with a masterplan that promotes biodiversity, energy efficiency and conservation of valuable natural resources.
Every home is north-south orientated to minimise heat gain and reduce energy usage.
Homes are also equipped with electric vehicle (EV) charging points, solar-ready infrastructure and water-efficient fittings. Semi-detached homes will also feature rainwater harvesting systems, while all units are built with green-certified materials, low-volatile organic compound paints, digital locksets and parcel drop boxes.
Modern Living
Paramount Embun Hills presents spacious landed homes designed for both practicality and comfort. With built-up areas ranging from 2,230sq ft to 2,518sq ft, each unit offers four bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, including a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe.
Homes feature open-plan layouts that maximise natural light and ventilation, alongside ground-floor senior rooms with wheelchair-friendly access.
A private first-floor living area provides versatile space for family needs, while the generously sized kitchen caters perfectly to larger households. Completing the design is an unobstructed porch that accommodates up to three vehicles.
Phase 1 of Paramount Embun Hills debuts with two distinct offerings — double-storey terrace homes (22’x70′) and cluster semi-detached homes (35’x75′).
Every home is thoughtfully equipped with digital locksets, dedicated parcel delivery dropboxes, and energy-efficient fittings.
Driving Sustainability
At Paramount Embun Hills, sustainability is more than just an added feature — it is the foundation of the township’s vision. Every element has been carefully designed to respect nature and nurture a greener, healthier way of living.
Among the key initiatives are:
RESTORING biodiversity through the planting of more than 550 native tree species.
EXCEEDING requirements by preserving and transplanting 55 per cent more trees than mandated, under the guidance of a certified arborist.
HARNESSING clean energy with solar photovoltaic panels powering the clubhouse, guardhouse and LED street lighting;
CONSERVING water via rainwater harvesting systems and Water Efficient Product Labelling Scheme-certified fittings at the clubhouse;
ENHANCING natural cooling with waterways and lush landscaped streetscapes that reduce noise, dust and heat gain;
IMPROVING connectivity with the widening of Jalan Kulim to 100ft for smoother traffic flow; and,
BUILDING responsibly using green-certified concrete and eco-friendly methods, including repurposing boulders for landscaping and converting tree debris into biochar.
By integrating these measures into its masterplan, Paramount Embun Hills goes beyond creating a place to live — it offers a community that blends modern comfort with environmental stewardship.
Safe, Green and Connected
Paramount Embun Hills is masterfully planned with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principles, ensuring a township where safety, security and walkability are woven into the fabric of everyday life.
The layout reduces risks and enhances comfort: cul-de-sac streets minimise through-traffic, landscaped buffers separate walkways from vehicles, and open areas are designed to maximise visibility, giving parents peace of mind as children play outdoors.
Beyond safety, the township is a place where green living and wellness take centre stage. Residents will have access to 2.92ha of parkland filled with thoughtfully designed recreational facilities suitable for all ages.
A shared herb garden nurtures a sense of community, while EV charging stations at the clubhouse and a 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) recycling centre make sustainable practices part of daily life.
Families with young children will appreciate the nature play zones and kindergarten, whereas fitness enthusiasts can enjoy jogging tracks, yoga decks, reflexology walks and a fully equipped gym.
For those seeking calm and relaxation, zen gardens and a viewing deck pavilion provide the perfect retreat.
Meanwhile, the private clubhouse brings the community together with a swimming pool, a multipurpose hall for events and spaces for leisure and learning.
Located beside the Bukit Mertajam Rainforest Reserve and Jalan Kulim, Paramount Embun Hills offers a rare balance of natural serenity and urban convenience.
The township is near Kulim town centre, Bukit Mertajam and Alma.
Just minutes away are famous retail and dining options.
Families benefit from excellent education and healthcare access, with 15 schools and colleges, as well as two hospitals within a 10km radius.
Paramount Embun Hills is more than just a township — it is an idyllic community that offers families the best of modern living while keeping them close to nature.
