D’Twist is a mixed development project located in Bandar Sunway, Selangor. The development was launched in 2014.

In D’Twist, there are a total of three tower blocks constructed on a podium comprising four two-storey levels of commercial space, having a usable space of 400,000 sf. This podium area would serve as a full-sized shopping centre at the doorstep of the residents.

D’Twist’s residential tower block of 80 floors will have a height of 300 meters, making it the tallest residential building in the region of Southeast Asia.

Analysis

GDV for D’Twist alone is estimated to be worth RM2 billion. The target market for its duplex residential suites is students from Taylor’s, Monash and Sunway University. There is good potential in the rental market as DK’s survey shows that the students are paying for overpriced accommodation at the moment.

D’Latour and Senza, which are the earlier phases in the area was carried out without any financing from the banks. This goes to indicate how financially solid is DK Group, being able to undertake developments dipping into their reserves alone. Four-star hotel chains are also being engaged to run the hotel side of the three towers.
