A space which to call your own

Beyond their locations, Shang Properties projects are also prized for their meticulous attention to detail.

From the fixtures to the finishes, each unit is curated to meet professional design standards. Storage space is thoughtfully considered, allowing even studio residents to comfortably fit in their possessions within their private enclaves.

In the upcoming Laya project, the units are to be delivered with laminated wood flooring and painted walls. Wardrobes are provided for the one-, two- and three-bed configurations. Porcelain floor and wall tiles are provided in the bathrooms.

Water heaters and glass shower enclosures also grace the shower areas. The kitchens feature quartz stone countertop and an operational cabinet system.

Durable and quality materials are used throughout the different units to ensure that all residents will be able to enjoy their homes to the fullest once they move in.

Haraya Residences, meanwhile, takes pride in their loggias, which are basically outdoor extensions of the units’ living areas.

The loggia floor area ranges between 6 sqm and 17 sqm, giving residents a generous space to get some sunshine or relax in the natural breeze. These outdoor features are unique for city dwellings and a rare treat for those who love to grow plants within their condominium units.
