Agreed. Even well known developer like Sunway is coming to Puncak Jalil now. I am quite sure we could reap some benefits when Sunway launches this project in the near future. I think the only issues to hold back the property price in our area is transferring of the ownership (some phases still yet to issue a strata title to the house buyers). Take a example of Bukit OUG townhouse, the value of the property has increased 10-20% since the strata titles were issued to the house buyer. It take less hassle to transact the business and faster for transferring the ownership.
Sunway Acquires Land For RM37.793 Mln
Extract from Bernama (28/04/2010)
KUALA LUMPUR -- Sunway Holdings Bhd's wholly owned subsidiary, SunwayMas Sdn Bhd, on Wednesday entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Taman Equine Riding Sdn Bhd to purchase 13.35 hectares land in the vicinity of Taman Equine in Subang Jaya, Selangor, for RM37.793 million.
In a statement, Sunway said semi-detached and bungalow villas have been planned for this land and is scheduled for launch in early 2011.
The project will have a Gross Development Value (GDV) of approximately RM250 million.
It said the land is located close to the mature townships of Puchong, Bandar Kinrara, Bandar Sunway and Petaling Jaya, and accessible via several major roads and highways including the Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) and Maju Expressway (MEX).
Yau Kok Seng, Managing Director of Sunway said with the acquisition, Sunway's total land bank now stood at 176 hectares with a GDV of RM2.2 billion. It expects to launch about RM800 million worth of property projects in Malaysia, Singapore and China for the rest of this year.
SunwayMas entered into a joint-venture with Monty Properties Sdn Bhd earlier this month to develop double-storey terraced and semi-detached homes on three parcels of land totalling 6.77 hectares in Puncak Jalil with a GDV of RM120 million.It also recently acquired 39.2 hectares land with a total GDV of RM500 million near Templer Park.
Preparations are underway for the anticipated launch of both Puncak Jalil and the Templer projects later this year, it added.
Yau said impressive take-up rates for Sunway's on-going projects, including Sunway Rydgeway in Melawati as well as from its two public housing projects in Singapore, has provided it with more than RM500 million in unbilled sales to date.
