The complex is developed by Ideal, a property group based in Malaysia. The plot of land, originally planned for the construction of a 988-unit residential complex, was later repurposed in line with the developer's i-Condo projects, after the decision to comply with the 1Malaysia People's Housing Programme (PR1MA), providing affordable housing for lower and middle-class inhabitants. The architectural design, as well as the name of the complex, was modeled after the architecture present on the island of Santorini, Greece.[2]
Sales of the residential unit reached 80 percent of the total figure by February 2016. The complex was later completed in 2017. Since the completion of the complex, it has bagged numerous Malaysian architectural awards.[2]
