GreenCasa, literally translating to green home, is a leasehold double storey terrace house located in CyberSouth, Dengkil. The residence along with the township of Cybersouth was developed by MCT Berhad. Entering as a new player into the property development field in the year 1999, MCT Berhad slowly rose to become the top 15 in the field with a market capitalization of RM 1.5 billion as of 2015.
As a residence, GreenCasa isn’t exactly located in the most strategic of locations, but would be an expedient choice for professionals working in the Silicon Valley of Cyberjaya with over 500 multinational companies located within a 10 km radius. To ensure that GreenCasa lives up to its name, the developers have gone to serious lengths to ensure it delivers on its promise of a green home. The developers have achieved this by surrounding the area of GreenCasa with lush greenery in the form of a 25 acre central park and by including cul-de-sac road networks throughout the township. Rarely heard of in Asian suburban neighborhoods, a cul-de-sac is a circular dead end. The use of cul-de-sac is shown to reduce traffic on residential streets; thus, reducing noise, air pollution and the probability of accidents. The cul-de-sac street is also an excellent employment of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) by the architects of CyberSouth. This decrease in traffic, in turn, is thought to lower the incidence of crime because in most cases the people who traverse the cul-de-sac either live there or are guests of those who do. This in turn promotes natural surveillance among neighbors i.e. a strange vehicle in the cul-de-sac would automatically alert neighbors of a possible undesirable visitor.
