City of Elmina Property Market Outlook 2026: Prices, DASH & Wellness
Stretching across 5,000 acres along the Guthrie Corridor in Shah Alam North, City of Elmina (developed by Sime Darby Property) stands as one of the Klang Valley’s most successful master-planned mega-townships. Grounded in a holistic wellness concept featuring the 300-acre Elmina Central Park, 90 km of interconnected cycling trails, and lush rainforest corridors, Elmina has redefined suburban landed living in Selangor.
Moving through 2026, City of Elmina continues to experience robust capital appreciation (4.5%–6.2% per annum) and high demand from young urban families. This growth is driven by the operational Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH)—which connects Elmina directly to Kota Damansara and Mont Kiara in 15 to 20 minutes—and the rapid expansion of Elmina Business Park.
