The developer has pledged to donate to charity RM200 for every Clarissa unit sold. This is under its Cenang corporate social responsibility programme.
'We look forward to donating RM160,000 paid over three years to selected beneficiaries in the local community, including underprivileged families, primary and secondary schools, medical assistance and elderly care,' the statement said.
It added that Tropicana Cenang would be the tallest building in Langkawi.

Wong said Tropicana Cenang, introduced in 2020, was the first integrated green building development in Langkawi.
'Tropicana has expanded its foothold in Langkawi for more than a decade.
'The island's rich geological history dates back half-a-billion years.
'Langkawi is also widely known for its duty-free status and cultural heritage.
'We have engaged with various stakeholders over the years to show our support to the community, with infrastructure enhancement and charity initiatives,' he added.
Zulkifli said Tropicana Cenang could boost Langkawi's tourism.
'We hope that with Tropicana's presence and support, we can bring Langkawi's tourism to greater heights, cementing the island's position as a top destination for holidaymakers and retirees in Malaysia.

Public Warned Against Fake 'Datuk Seri' Titles Used In Investment Scams
KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 (Bernama) -- At least six individuals have fallen victim to scams involving the misuse of the 'Datuk Seri' title, with total losses estimated at nearly half a million ringgit, says MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong. He said one of the reports involved a man falsely claiming to be an 'Ahli Istana Anak Angkat' to gain the trust of victims and solicit investments, including a case where a Datin lost RM400,000. 'We've checked with the Istana and there is no such title. It's completely fabricated,' he told a press conference at Wisma MCA here today. Chong said three of the six cases were business-related scams while the others were enquiries — some from overseas — to verify the legitimacy of individuals claiming to hold honorific titles. He added that the scammer had exploited public events and official functions by placing his name and image among VIPs and ministers to boost credibility. Meanwhile, Majlis Datuk Persekutuan Malaysia (MDPM) president Datuk Alvin Tee Guan Pian reminded the public that federal titles were only awarded to those who had made significant contributions to the nation. 'Fake titleholders often use these credentials to secure business deals and contracts. The Securities Commission takes illegal investment schemes seriously, and offenders can be charged in court,' he said. Separately, the President of Majlis Datuk Dato' Malaysia (MDDM), Datuk Samson David Maman, has urged the relevant parties to expedite proposed amendments to the Awards Act 2017 (Act 787) to curb the misuse of honorific titles. "It's going internally. But we know there are many proposed amendments across various acts. Ours is just one of them. Time will come when we are on the priority list,' he said at the same press conference.
