Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) (IATA: BKI, ICAO: WBKK) is located about 8 km from the city of Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah, Malaysia. It is the second busiest airport in Malaysia after Kuala Lumpur International Airport with around 4 million passengers using this airport annually for domestic and international flights. It is also the main gateway into the state of Sabah. In 2006, about 2 million unique tourists visited Sabah, and it is estimated that this number will exceed 2.5 million by the end of 2007.

Terminal 1
Terminal 1 is the main terminal of KKIA. It is accessed via Jalan Putatan in Petagas nearby Kepayan. Currently its technical facilities includes 12 gates, 5 airbridges, and 4 baggage claim belts. It has the capacity of handling 2.5 million passenger annually. It also features duty-free shops, other shops, lounges, travel agents, restaurants, and many others. It is currently undergoing a massive renovation and expansion (see above). Malaysia Airlines is the main operating airline in this terminal.

Terminal 2
What is today Terminal 2 used to be the original terminal building of the airport when it was first built. It is accessed via Jalan Mat Salleh in Tanjung Aru and is located on the other side of the runway from Terminal 1. Terminal 2 has recently undergone a major renovation and extension and it re-opened on January 1, 2007 in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2007. Although it is renovated to serve the low cost carriers, namely AirAsia, it is not a low cost carrier terminal (LCCT) as that of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, as other full service airlines may use the terminal.[6] It has 26 check-in counters for domestic and international flights and six parking bays for B737 and A320 aircraft as well as seven luggage x-ray machines, a VIP room and 13 immigration counters. AirAsia will make Kota Kinabalu the main hub for flights from China to Malaysia due to Kota Kinabalu being the nearest Malaysian hub to China.

AirAsia is expected to start flying to Shenzen, Xiamen, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Indonesia in 2007. Sabah Government is optimistic in targeting more visitors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, South Korea, Japan and Russia.

Broadwalk & Lifestyle Center

The Kota Kinabalu City Waterfront is slated as a World Class development on par with the best boardwalks and lifestyle centers. It is envisioned to offer a new and vibrant urban street-space atmosphere in the heart of Kota Kinabalu. The Kota Kinabalu City Waterfront is a shopping center and commercial development that combines the traditional retail functions of a shopping mall with leisure amenities catered towards upscale consumers and tourists. It is designed to be a ‘unique urban village’ - a vibrant place where community takes shape and public life happens.

Imagine, watching a jazz singer drawing an audience - serenading to passing onlookers amidst a fresh breeze overlooking a spectacular sunset. The entire boardwalk will feature an urban maze with arches that decorate the marketplace with restaurants and stores lining an outdoor pedestrian street that opens up onto a series of little plazas.

The type of place one would delight the palate with a cappuccino.

World Class Vision

The waterfront project is the brainchild of the Sabah State government and a pool of Malaysian visionaries. The project will see a multitude of luxury retail and lifestyle developments along the famous Kota Kinabalu waterfront by transforming it into an environmentally friendly boardwalk along the seafront to become a thriving pedestrian walkway.

The waterfront project is envisaged to have similarities with world-renowned waterfront projects like the Darling Harbour Waterfront Project in Australia; which has a combination of strategically located seafront properties along its pedestrian boardwalk, harbour side shopping center and other pedestrian friendly features. Likewise, the Kota Kinabalu City Waterfront aims to be amongst the world's great seafront destinations.

Shopping & Lifestyle

The overall development is located along the seafront totalling approximately 8.6 acres spanning over a 2km boardwalk above the sea. The entire development will be linked via a 30 - 100 foot wide pedestrian boardwalk, built on stilts above the sea. It lines the Kota Kinabalu seafront and is poised to be the heartbeat of the project.

This boardwalk is designed to house specialty stands, pizzerias, souvenir shops, beach gear stores, sidewalk cafes and fun parlours drawing families, teenagers and adults alike. The Kota Kinabalu City Waterfront boardwalk is book-ended by two ‘Lifestyle Centers’, with both developments facing the seafront boardwalk, with outdoor staging areas, a luxury all-suites hotel, a retail complex and a host of alfresco-style dining and entertainment outlets. There will also be an urban ‘luxury fashion’ mall, an international hotel and fine dining restaurants.

Retail Experience

The Kota Kinabalu City Waterfront is a great example of taking the successfully realized attributes of a lifestyle center and integrating them into an actual urban neighborhood requiring revitalization. Recent studies suggest that the shoppers and consumers of today, are really hearkening back to their own childhood experiences and want to seek out the next-generation retail environment as a true community and town center experience.

The defining characteristics are a mixture of stores - upscale retailers and open-air layout with elegant stores and chic boutiques to exquisite dining that will become a unique tourist attraction from its very onset

• The seafront grand entrance to the retail area is reserved
exclusively for flagship outlets which will enjoy exclusive seafront
vantage. This is a unique aspect of the Kota Kinabalu City
Waterfront’s inspiring retail concept.

• The high ceilings and quality finishing will enhance the shopping
experience.

Luxury Residential Suites

• New age luxury suites designed for the discerning.

• Its waterfront location provides city dwellers resort-living in the heart
of Kota Kinabalu.

Luxury International Hotels

• Luxury hotel and boutique villas will dot the development.

• Amongst the unique features of the hotel is an infinity pool with a
glassed perimeter facing the seafront attached with a pool terrace
for dining and entertaining.

Kota Kinabalu has the enviable fortune of being located on the edge of the South China Sea with spectacular views of emerald islands just off its coast and forest covered hills reaching up towards the highest mountain in South East Asia, Mt. Kinabalu.

Taking advantage of these features is The Waterfront, the city’s premier entertainment and dining centre. Locals and tourists alike have come to regard The Waterfront as the place to be for a casual fun night out with restaurants and cafes serving a wide range of local and international cuisine. Pubs, karaoke bars and a dance club with lively music set the mood for a memorable evening in the city. Borneo Trading Post also provide a wide selection of indigenous and Borneon handicrafts, books and souvenir items.

Within walking distance are the Le Meridien, Promenade and Hyatt Kinabalu hotels as well as a number of budget accommodation. Shopping centres from air-conditioned malls to open-air markets selling anything and everything under the sun are also close by.

http://www.kkwaterfront.com/images/portview.jpghttp://www.kkwaterfront.com/images/theloft.jpg

Enjoy to best sunset spot in Kota Kinabalu
Away from the frenzied bustle of activities in the city is a quiet stretch of wooden boardwalk along the waterfront. It is relatively void of activity in the heat of the day as people seek shelter in the comfort of air-conditioned cafes and restaurants. As the evening sets in and the cool sea breeze washes inland, it is the perfect place to stroll and watch the sun set in the horizon. Fishing boats drift lazily by as they return from a day out at sea or whiz by carrying day-trippers from the islands back to the city. Three kiosks are strategically located along the boardwalk offering refreshingly cool drinks and local specialties to snack on as you decide which of the many eateries to have dinner at. Pubs and cafes with live bands or deejays spinning tunes from golden oldies to modern day beats start to fill the air. If you need to add more energy to your night out, karaoke bars and a dance club beckon you inside to test your vocal and dancing skills.

Segama Waterfront

Sabah Tourism Board (http://www.sabahtourism.com/sabah-malaysian-borneo/en/)
http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/8089/segamawaterfront2.jpg

The latest City Hall's pocket park, called 'Segama Waterfront', has potential to become a popular spot for city dwellers and tourists, said National Landscape Department Deputy Director-General, Mohd Taib Zin.

"Developing the landscape for the park is another landmark for Kota Kinabalu. With its strategic location near the sea and surrounded by commercial buildings, I believe this park has potential to be an asset to Sabah's tourism industry," he said.

Mohd Taib, who represented National Landscape Department Director-General Dato' Ismail Ngah, said this at the official launching and deliverance of Certificate of Practical Completion (CPC) of Segama Waterfront at Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens, here, Friday night.

Also present were Mayor Datuk Iliyas Ibrahim, City Hall Director-General Datuk Dr. Chua Kim Hing, National Landscape Department Director for Development Division, Suhaili Yusoff, and other City Hall officials.

According to Mohd Taib, construction of the RM1.9 million park over one acre commenced on March 27, 2007 and it was completed on June 30, this year but opened for public use in July this year.

"The overall design of the park is based on a concept of marine life and among the facilities provided are decorative pathway for visitors, seats, lights, marine ornaments, observatory platform and shaded trees.

"These facilities are uplifting the scenery view of the park," he said.

With the completion of the project, Mohd Taib said City Hall is responsible for the cleanliness, safety and maintenance of the park.

Meanwhile, Mayor Datuk Iliyas Ibrahim said City Hall is committed to beautify and upgrade the city's landscape, which is one aspect of its master development, so as to give a positive first impression to visitors and tourists coming to Sabah.

Segama Waterfront, he said, is one of the projects realised through funding from the National Landscape Department.

"We are very thankful to the National Landscape Department, under the Federal Housing and Local Housing Ministry, for all the funding that enabled us to materialise our development projects and further improving the city's landscape.

"Apart from the Segama Waterfront, we have carried out several landscaping projects through the department's allocations, such as upgrading of Jalan Sulaman-UMS Kota Kinabalu, beautifying Tanjung Aru and developing a public park for Likas Bay that is in progress and to be completed end of this year," he said.

Jesselton Point
One Stop Marina Destination

http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1844/jesseltonpoint101.jpghttp://img9.imageshack.us/img9/7541/jesseltonpoint102.jpg
@flickr photos (http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=jesselton+point&page=7)

LOCATION
The boat terminal is located north of downtown Kota Kinabalu. It is possible to walk to this terminal if you are staying at nearby city hotels like Le Meridien Kota Kinabalu or Hyatt Regency Kinabalu. Otherwise, if you are staying in other resorts south of the city such as The Magellan Sutera, The Pacific Sutera or Shangri-la Tg Aru, it is best to get a taxi which will set you back anywhere between RM10 to RM15 per journey.

To be exact, this ferry terminal is located close to Wisma Sabah, Grand Port View building, or marine police and custom offices.

DESCRIPTION
The newly refurbished passenger ferry terminal has been re-branded as Jesselton Point. Jesselton is pretty much the old name for the city of Kota Kinabalu. I recalled back in 2003 during my visit, the ferry terminal was pretty much set in an old and sombre condition with dilapidated buildings and inadequate facilities. Today, the terminal has been redesigned into colourful commercial outlets with great tourist facilities for those heading to the beautiful islands in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park nearby, namely Pulau Gaya, Pulau Sapi, Pulau Manukan, Pulau Sulug and Pulau Mamutik. This ferry terminal is also the departure point for patrons staying at either Manukan Island Resort or Gayana Resort.

The buildings are painted in bright orange colour to breathe a new life into the area. In fact, it is not an understatement that the Jesselton Point project was quite an example of urban rehabilitation programme in this fairly tired-looking city of Kota Kinabalu. It exemplifies the usage of the city's main natural attraction, its spectacular ocean view, to draw the crowds from near and far. Nonetheless, with the re-branding concept finally unveiled to the public, boat passengers to the nearby islands (and even to Labuan) will have to fork out more for this so-called "port tax" of RM3 per person per way. But really, if you are spending hundreds for packaged snorkeling, diving or sightseeing tours to the many islands, that amount does not seem like much.

At the main entrance, there is a nice archway that welcomes you to the city. On the walls are various dated photos of the city's aerial view, some were taken in the early 1900s. There are also two English-inspired telephone booths with their ubiquitous bright red colour although I had no idea what was the purpose of those. There is a nice looking Italian restaurant called Benito Bistro equipped with glassy walls overlooking the dock and the ocean but my dive guide said the food prices were way too expensive. Other than that, there is a featured rail coach taken out from the existing North Borneo Railway service that serves as a drinking outlet called JP Train Station. There are a lot of other smaller cafés with more acceptable food prices apart from souvenir shops for visitors leaving the city.

There is a good waiting area inside the main building equipped with comfortable chairs and cooling air-conditioning. Overall, the boat reception counters are informative when it comes to arranging for last-minute tours of the nearby islands.

Jesselton Point is a great place for a stroll. Some historical perspective blended in modern design. A great one-stop terminal for all your island excursion needs. Come and indulge yourself with the beautiful scenery of Kota Kinabalu shore and our local cuisine at Jesselton Point together with your loved ones while rejuvenate your mind and body after a long and exhausted journey. Remember to include this memorable place in your destination’s list!

Beautifying the riverbanks
By MUGUNTAN VANAR Friday December 3, 2010

KOTA KINABALU: The city’s riverfront is set to take on a new look by 2012.

After months of planning and negotiations, the first parcel of the Sungai Sembulan Beautifi-cation Project is finally taking off.

Kota Kinabalu City mayor Datuk Iliyas Ibrahim said the Sembulan river beautification project, costing RM25mil, involved the construction of the Sembulan riverbank in the Karamunsing and Sembulan areas adjoining Sadong Jaya here.

“It will be constructed by Abad Jaya Construction Sdn Bhd, who won the open tender for the project.

“It is expected to be completed by 2012,” he said when announcing it.

He said the Sembulan River Beautification Project was one of three tourism-related projects for Kota Kinabalu City being funded by the Sabah Economic Development and Investment Authority (Sedia) under the Sabah Development Corridor.

The other two projects are the coastal bicycle path between Tanjung Aru and UMS and the upgrading of the historical precinct of Kota Kinabalu City.

Construction works are divided into three parcels. Only works in Parcel One have commenced while the others are delayed due to several outstanding issues such as the need to relocate squatters, several abandoned buildings and land exchanges.

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2010/12/3/southneast/ms_pg02walk.jpg

Big plans: The Sembulan riverbank will look like this in 2012.

Iliyas said a total of RM45mil had been allocated to the Sembulan river beautification project, which involved beautifying the riverbanks of both Sungai Sembulan and Sungai Karamunsing, between the South China Sea and Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman adjacent to the MUIS building and Sungai Karamunsing to Jalan Kemajuan adjacent to the flyover.

He said massive changes were expected to take place in the adjoining areas, and that building owners and businesses needed to cooperate to help transform the whole area into a vibrant tourism hub with dining and entertainment establishments of international standards.

He stressed that building owners and the nearby residents in the Sembulan area should see this as an opportunity to upgrade and beautify their buildings and houses, so that visitors and tourists would be impressed.

Iliyas said the Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK) was going far beyond carrying out the normal “repair” job on an old part of the city.

He said the project’s design was of an international standard and was prepared by Innotech Design Architects Sdn Bhd, which together with AIA Consortium Consultancy Services and their team of experts, had taken into consideration concepts and lessons learned from cities that had developed their waterfronts such as Singapore, Seoul, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Sydney and Melbourne.

He added that the architect had also earmarked several public sites for outdoor entertainment and a number of spots for public art such as sculptures and fountains.

Iliyas reminded the public not to confuse beautification and transformation of the Sembulan and Karamunsing riverbanks with the cleaning and rehabilitation of the rivers as those issues would be looked into separately by DBKK.

He also appealed to building owners, business proprietors, customers and residents of the Sungai Sembulan area, particularly in Sadong Jaya, to be patient with DBKK over the project.

He pointed out that DBKK had come up with a traffic plan and parking areas, but added that the plan might be altered over the construction period.

PENAMPANG: The future of this district is set to be catapulted into an important destination for MICE (Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conference and Exhibition) and technology related business activities when the International Technology & Convention Centre (ITCC) Penampang is completed in the next three years.

Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister, Datuk Edward Khoo Keok Hai, speaking at the soft launching of the project yesterday said, the ITCC-Penampang is a private initiative project, motivated by the launching of the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) which is line with Sabah Government’s Halatuju initiative.

ITCC-Penampang is set to act as a catalyst to spur creative macro and micro economy in Penampang as a technology hub, which could perhaps provide the stepping stone in setting up an MSC concept in Sabah that can be linked to MSC in Peninsular Malaysia, as part of the e-government push, he said.

“This project is timely as it will be implemented under the 10th Malaysia Plan which is in line with Vision 2020. The people of Penampang deserve to have this international class business activities and facilities,” said Khoo.

“I will help to promote this project as I am extremely happy that Penampang is going to have a five star hotel in future and this project is also in the Kapayan constituency,” he said.

“I think in the past we had been losing out in the tourism industry, so with this project we hope more tourist will come to Penampang as this district of rich Kadazan culture and all the races are living harmoniously as well in this area,” he said.

This project will also create job opportunities for the Penampang youngsters after they graduate from high school and tertiary education as they can work and stay back in Penampang instead of seeking jobs in Kota Kinabalu, Tuaran and Peninsular Malaysia, said Khoo.

Sabanilam Enterprise Sdn Bhd, director Datuk Clarence Malakun said the project to be built on a more than 10 acres site will start work as soon as they get all the necessary approvals from the relevant authorities.

“The project will start as soon as possible and I expect sometime early next year we will be able to start work,” he said after witnessing the soft launching of the project by Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister Datuk Edward Khoo Keok Hai yesterday.

Once completed, ITCC will be equipped with a 300-room 5-star hotel block, 16-storey office tower and a modern commercial shopping mall.

The centre will feature a large 30,000 sq ft convention hall, a separate exhibition hall of over 60,000 sq ft, a huge banquet hall (maximum 170 dinner tables), hotspot Wi-Fi internet connection, 8-minutes drive from Kota Kinabalu International Airport, state-of-the art giant LCD advertising screens, spacious food court, supermarket and ample parking space.

“ITCC offers an alternative venue for the MICE market and the tourism sector in Penampang will be boosted as now Kota Kinabalu is congested with the flow of traffic,” said Malakun.

ITCC developer company spokesman Alexander Hugo Malakun hoped ITCC Penampang will be Sabah’s very own little electric town similar to Low Yat Plaza in Kuala Lumpur, Digital Mall in Petaling Jaya and Akihabara City in Tokyo, Japan.

“Our aim is to provide the best environment for retailers to trade and customers to shop, especially on technology based trade and new electronic merchandise,” he said.

Pacific Parade

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i293/bingchu/dailyexpress2a.jpg

RM2b 'new heart of KK' project

Kota Kinabalu: A RM2 billion investment with revolutionary concepts and completely new designs replacing the original Likas Mega Mall is set to transform the sleepy abandoned 26-acre Maksak (Government Servants Welfare and Recreational Council) land into a vibrant "new heart of Kota Kinabalu", its new developer promised.
A new developer by the name of Ideal Prestige Sdn Bhd, which is part of a larger group of cash-rich financial backers in South Africa, Sri Lanka and India, has taken over 100 per cent of the entire project and renamed it Pacific Parade.

At the helm of this massive investment project, which is expected to take eight to 10 years to complete in phases, is Executive Chairman Kuok Khoon Ping, who has formed a partnership with Sabahan, Fuad Tengku Ahmad, a lawyer from Cambridge and former Director of KL-based Melawat Industries Group Bhd.

"This is Malaysia's Gold Coast!" Kuok exclaimed.

"A gem of a five-star site like this deserves nothing less than a five-star development," said Kuok, former Chairman of Jerneh Insurance Bhd and a nephew of famous Malaysian tycoon Tan Sri Robert Kuok.

"The original design was just a 10-storey three-star hotel on the existing Maksak building, a 10-storey office block and a two-storey Civil Service Museum, which just looks too average and doesn't fit such a good site," Fuad noted.

"This is a 5-star site, it didn't make sense to us it gets only a 3-star development, so we are changing it to a 5-star development which is appropriate to the site and we have since redesigned everything," Fuad said.

Maksak's entitlement has also been vastly upgraded under a new principal agreement between them and Ideal Prestige Sdn Bhd, according to Fuad.

"What's good is we are setting a standard for private-public partnership (as opposed to lopsided deals), in fairness to the owners of the site," he said.

Under the old project which had stopped work for several years for unknown reasons, Maksak's original entitlement was a two-storey Civil Service Museum, a 10-storey 3-star hotel and a 12-storey office block.

But an integrated concept plus other high-end additions are going to make all the difference for Maksak under the new deal.

"What we are going to give them is a completely redesigned, integrated 10-storey 3-star hotel, a 12-storey office block and a two-storey Civil Service Museum which is integrated with a modern Convention Centre," Fuad said.

"In addition, we are also going to give them a 5-star hotel which is also going to be integrated with the Convention Centre that has a capacity for 200 tables," Fuad added.

"Maksak will own the 10-storey 3-star hotel, the museum and 12-storey office building but we'll develop and operate the 5-star hotel and Convention Centre on a joint venture basis and we'll also manage the 3-star hotel," Fuad spelt out the arrangement.

"The object of it all is to give substantial recurring incomes to Maksak with a very balanced win-win deal in fairness to them because it is such a good piece of land," Fuad stressed.

"This is not a hit-and-run project, we are not a build-and-leave developer, we are in it for the long-term, we'll continue to work on its character with a passion to create something which is very visually attractive and functional," Fuad told Daily Express.

On their side of the development, Ideal Prestige will build 161 luxury condominium units with a sea view atop Block B with a landscaped, Balinese style 23,000 sq ft infinity pool with all the shopping facilities below.

The idea is condo residents never need to leave the area for shopping.

An interesting facility on top of Block C is an "assisted" living facility with a sea view integrated with a medical centre in line with the medical tourism concept, in addition to a hyper market, cinemas, an anchor bookstore, an IT centre, family karoake, etc, in the lower floors.

A prominent feature in the plan is the Pacific Walk - a strip attached to both Block B and C, which is going to be an outdoor entertainment and Food & Beverage walk. Is a cross between the Bintang Walk and Heritage Road which offers both night and day entertainment but it's covered so it's all weather and all in, there'll be 3,000 parking lots, Fuad said.

An exciting part of Pacific Walk is a spacious Greek style amphi-theatre with the stage at the bottom and the audience at the steps and though outdoors, it's covered so that rain will not spoil any show.

"We'll be organising a lot of family-oriented activities such as bringing in artistes, bands, choirs, concerts to bring life to the area," Kuok promised.

"It's all about giving something to the community, not just making money," Fuad said.

Contemporary Elegance Woven Into Nature

Gaya Island Resort is located on Pulau Gaya, the largest of a cluster of five islands that form the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, a natural marine conservation area off the coast of Borneo, close to Kota Kinabalu. The Resort is fringed with a golden beach, lush rainforest and surrounded by coral reefs. The hilly landscape is covered with an abundance of flora and fauna, making Gaya Island Resort the perfect combination of comfort, natural beauty and exotic wilderness.

Karambunai Integrated Resort City

Globally, there are many paradises of sand, surf and sea, but truly
there’s only one heavenly destination of Ecotourism - Karambunai,
Some Say It’s Heaven”

A consortium comprising gaming tycoon Tan Sri Chen Lip Keong’s group of companies and Prism Crystal Enterprises Ltd are set to invest RM9.6 billion to develop the Karambunai Integrated Resort City in Sabah with the project’s landowners.The resort is situated on a 1,100ha piece of land, owned by Karambunai Corp Bhd and Petaling Tin Bhd, on the Karambunai peninsula.

Chen has substantial interest in both companies and is the president of both.

The low-profile businessman is the single-largest shareholder of Karambunai Corp, holding a 43.9% stake. Petaling Tin has a 34.08% block.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, Petaling Tin said it has not signed any agreement with any parties pertaining to the resort project and there are no corporate developments that warrant future disclosures to the stock exchange at this juncture.

Little is known about Prism Crystal Enterprises, which is said to be a special purpose vehicle formed to participate in the Karambunai Integrated Resort City project.

At present, details are scarce on the RM9.6 billion investment in the resort but it is learnt that Chen’s two other listed companies — steelmaker FACB Industries Inc Bhd and Hong Kong-listed gaming and leisure company NagaCorp Ltd — are not part of the plans.

Chen, who founded NagaCorp, is currently the group’s CEO and executive director and he holds a controlling 63.07% stake in the group.

NagaCorp owns and operates NagaWorld, the only licensed casino in Cambodia’s capital city, Phnom Penh.

Chen also appears to have considerable clout with the Cambodian government, having been appointed as economic adviser to Cambodia’s prime minister and an adviser with ministerial status to the Cambodian government.

Last month, Karambunai Corp announced that it had entered into a joint venture with Cambodia-based China Central Asia Group Co Ltd (CCAG) to develop the Karambunai resort’s first phase, the Karambunai Beachfront mixed development project.

CCAG, a shareholder of Prism Crystal Enterprises, will invest a seed capital of US$100 million (RM306 million) as a revolving fund for the joint venture.

Karambunai Corp’s subsidiary, Karambunai Resorts Sdn Bhd, will contribute 75 acres of land valued at RM270 million to the joint venture.

Announcing the consortium’s entry yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the Karambunai Integrated Resort City is expected to contribute a gross national income of RM9.3 billion and create about 11,002 jobs by 2020.

Plans for the Karambunai resort include attractions like a water theme park, mangrove research centre and spa village.

The project will also house luxury residences, hotel accommodation, retail space and eco-nature facilities.

However, questions still linger as to whether the resort will eventually feature a casino despite the company denying reports on the plans.

Karambunai Corp already has hospitality operations in Sabah with its five-star Nexus Resort Karambunai and Nexus Golf Resort
The Karambunai Integrated Resort City will be eveloped over eight years from 2012 to 2019.

The Nexus Residence,

http://www.clairebrownrealty.com/images/nexus-area.jpg

Location
Just 25 minutes from the Kota Kinabalu International Airport, flights to major South East Asian capitals such as Singapore and Hong Kong are just 3 hours away whilst Tokyo, Shanghai and Sydney are within a 5-6 hour flight. Affectionately referred to as the ‘Land Below the Wind’ Sabah lies outside the hostile ‘Ring of Fire’ and the threats of plate tectonics at 1°-5°Latitude North. Bordered by a verdant 130m year old rainforest, Nexus Residence also surveys the alluring coastline of the South China Sea, a 6km expanse of soft white sands and beautiful waters.

Description
One of the world’s best kept secrets, Karambunai is a tranquil haven in stunning Sabah on the island of Borneo. Sabah Tourism Board maintains that with the very high occupancy figure of 72%, the area still has a severe holiday bed shortage of 3000. What is more, Sabah has one of the highest tourism growth rates in Malaysia and reaped the benefits of 1.8 million tourist arrivals in 2004 which equated to a 41.7% growth over 2003. Target tourist arrivals in Sabah for 2010 sit at 4 million, meaning demand for holiday property should simultaneously rocket. With Nexus’s 7.25% 5 year guaranteed income structure in place the resort promises great returns and should enjoy significant capital appreciation as the tourism market flourishes around it.

D’Banyan Residency

source (http://e-borneo.blogspot.com/2008/05/d-banyan-residency-sutera-revolutionary.html)

d' Banyan Residency @ Sutera, located in the heart of Sutera Harbour Resort is set to become the benchmark for prestigious luxury living with a touch of class in Kota Kinabalu City. "We are revolutionising the very concept of plush contemporary living balanced by the tranquility of Sabah's natural evergreen splendour," enthused General Manager of WCT Land Berhad, Stewart Tew.

"With a virtually 360 panorama of the golf scenery viewable from every balcony, d' Banyan luxury designer homes is in a distinct class of its own," Tew Added.

Some may wonder where the name originates from and it would seem that d' Banyan Residency draws it namesake from the humble banyan tree. "We have adopted the Banyan story as it tells a tale of centuries old where people from all walks of life congregated under the banyan tree to share news and views. This is the type of community we hope to inspire - tight knit and integrated with a strong sense of belonging," Tew explained.

This concept of integration has been translated into reality at d' Banyan Residency @ Sutera. Strategically located 5 mins from KK City and 10 mins from the KK International Airport, d' Banyan Residency resides in a restful cove within Sutera. The 122 units of 3 Storey Detached Villa, 2 Storey Semi-Detached Villa and as well as the 2 Storey Superlink Villa homes are a testimony of architectural perfection finished appeal to the stringent requirements of the upper class market.

Price between Ringgit Malaysia 1.4 million to 3 million and above with a build up area of 4,350 s.f to 6,700 s.f, the three contemporary designs of sheer luxury exude charm, privacy and exclusivity. d' Banyan is indeed a celebration of life and style and one can definitely expect a 5 star lifestyle befitting the 5 star location.

d' Banyan Residency is unique in the sense that it caters for all the needs and desires of the truly affluent. From private swimming pools in designed units and solar water heating system to split air-conditioner as well as food waste disposal are provided, no stone has been left unturned in the concerted effort to maximise comfort and pleasure. With such luxuriant surroundings, you can also be assured that security issues are never comprised as every precautionary measure has been employed.

The Residency is armed with double security check points, perimeter fencing equipped with CCTV surveillance system linked directly to the guard house, all of which cultivates ultimate peace of mind.

The official launch is expected to only take place in July 2008 yet current sales have already proven to be good. Under the detailed touch of WCT's subsidiary Camellia Tropicana Sdn. Bhd's management team, construction of d' Banyan Residency is well underway. In fact, it is ahead of schedule with piling works completing soon while other units have even completed foundation works.

d' Banyan is expected to be completed by end of 2009.

Buyers wishing to get an initial feel of the stunning ambience can pay a visit to the Semi-Detached and Superlink show houses expected to be ready for viewing with full interior design come July this year.

Those who are financially savvy will note that the prime time to buy is now, as trends denote that the market price will increase upon completion of the show houses and because of the increase of building materials prices.

Currently, the Sale and Purchase Agreement legal fees are borne by the developer so it would be financially astute to purchase now and enjoy this benefit.

Tew added that d' Banyan Residency is looking into luring foreign property investors into making d' Banyan their home. WCT will market d' Banyan comprehensively overseas, while highlighting the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme as a viable retirement option in this country.

WCT has made purchasing these villas easier by providing full customer services. Locals and foreigners alike can enjoy assistance in documentation processes and mortgage financing prospects in association with various local banks.

d' Banyan Residency @ Sutera is a jewel of an investment. It would be deemed highly perceptive to set aside this diamond of a property as part of your personal investment portfolio with full intention to bank on the future.

d' Banyan Residency: Revolutionising the way we live and breathe.

Wah Mie Group to build luxury condo in Likas

18th February, 2011

KOTA KINABALU: The Wah Mie Group will embark on a luxury condominium project at Likas here that will provide residents a resort style living within the city.

Its group managing director, Datuk Kong Kwok Wah disclosed yesterday that the project named ‘Element at Likas’ was expected to be launched sometime in June.

“This is arguably one of our five-star condominiums in town as each unit will be 60 per cent furnished with kitchen cabinet, toilet closet, air condition, timber flooring and plaster ceiling,” he told reporters at the Group’s Chap Goh Mei party, which marked the end of the Chinese New Year celebration at their Alam Damai multi purpose hall here yesterday.

The soon to be launched condominium is 33-storey high and includes four stories of parking bays of which each unit owner will be given two lots, he said.

The property will be built on a 12-acre land and is sited on a strategic location as it is surrounded by schools, medical centre, sports complex, shopping mall and is only about 5 minute’s drive to the city centre, he said.

The size of the condominium units ranges from 1,260 sq ft to 3,000 sq ft and it has a rooftop garden overlooking the paranomic view of Likas Bay, he said.

“We emphasie a resort style living within the city and this idea was mooted after the success of our Alam Damai project, so investors and buyers watch out for our launching,” he stressed.

Meanwhile, the newly completed Alam Damai condominium which comprises 552 units in three blocks is expected to obtain its occupation certificate by April or May, this year, he said adding that two of the blocks are 18-storey high while the other one is 16 stories.

The size of the units ranges from 1,000 sq ft to 2,500 sq ft and all units had been sold out, said Kong adding that the location of the property is also unique as it has three access points from Tuaran, Dah Yeh Villa and Damai.

“Construction of Alam Damai project started in 2007 and we are proud that it was completed on schedule,” he said.

“These three blocks of building had become a landmark in Damai area as you drive along Tuaran and Dah Yeh Villa it is very visible,” he said.

He said the value of the property had gone up drastically from RM250 per sq ft to RM400 per sq ft from the time of project launching to its completion, which was unprecedented in Sabah’s property market.

Perdana Park – a green lung with KK City

Posted on January 28, 2011, Friday

KOTA KINABALU: The multi-million Perdana Park at Hone Place which will be officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak today, is the brainchild of Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Aman Haji Aman.

Musa first mooted the idea of preserving the site as a heritage park and also to provide a green lung within Kota Kinabalu City.

Below is the question and answer on Perdana Park with the Chief Minister.

1. Please tell us briefly what is the uniqueness of this park? Its size and facilities?

The park’s design pays homage to the legacy and identity of Sabah by incorporating architectural designs reminiscent of the old government quarters that stood during the British administration complemented with softscapes that evoke the feel of the rainforest.

It is built on a total of 18 acres and among its features are a musical fountain, purified water provided free of charge, caters to special physical needs, a containerised stage that could be used for cultural shows, reflexology footpaths and exercise areas. What is also important is the park is OKU (handicapped) friendly.

Our Right Honorable Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak has graciously agreed to officially open the Park on this Jan 28th. The entry to Perdana Park is free and it will officially open to the public on Jan 30

2. What was the inspiration or idea behind the conception of the park?

All we have to do is take a good look at the world we live in today. It is a world that is rapidly becoming more and more urban. In 2010, the United Nations reported that about 50% of the world’s population now live in cities. Added to that is the fact that Asia has the largest share of cities, with a total of at least 500 million inhabitants combined. Of those 500 million, Kota Kinabalu is home to 452,940 inhabitants. Ten years ago, this figure was 355,935. The numbers are definitely going up.

We know that cities are the economic centres of the world. They are centres where the pace and speed of working and living is moving with lightning speed. Technology has all but vanished borders of communication between one end of the globe to another, making the race between competitors in whatever business or industry an aggressively fierce one.

Kota Kinabalu may not be comparable yet to a city like New York or Tokyo but we are very fortunate as Sabah is a state rich with beautiful natural landscapes and has not yet entirely become a concrete jungle. That is why right now, the State Government strongly believes it is vital on our part in taking steps to mitigate the issues that a rapidly urban population would face such as a cramped and stressed lifestlye. These are very real issues in other big cities of the world.

Often, when I am in the city of Kuala Lumpur, I found myself enjoying many a morning just walking around the grounds of KLCC where there is also a park and some green space amidst the hustle and bustle. It was a space where I could gather my thoughts. It made me think of Kota Kinabalu and how a park would benefit it as a growing city.

Yes, development is vital. In lieu of that, cities will always be the center stage of the populace. At the same time, we should heed the lessons we see in the global landscape. In that light, the idea of a public park was born. The State Government believed establishing a park was a strategic way to conserve this area and let Malaysians in Sabah enjoy something from the past.

That is also our step to encourage better physical and emotional health for the city’s populace – by providing a public communal and recreational space that can be enjoyed for several generations. We would be killing two birds with one stone with this idea. The state could give its citizens the benefit of a premier park in the city with state of the art faciliities. On top of that, it will be an additional tourism attraction that will showcase the city’s rich history, and pay tribute to Sabah’s environment.

3. Why was the Hone Place chosen as the site for the Perdana Park?

Hone Place was, as many would know and remember, in the 1930’s during the pre-war days, the site for government quarters. Many retired civil servants will remember playing football at the padang there. It is a place rich with rich historical significance.

The State Government wanted the park to pay homage to that legacy and also to the identity of Sabah. The two directives for the design of the park is to resonate the historical values found at Hone Place and to evoke the feel of our rich rainforests.

As some of you may know, there was a proposal years ago to develop a controversial housing project in the area. Due to strong public objection, fortunately the proposal was abandoned. However, the area was left neglected, overgrown with lalang. Something meaningful had to be done. As such, the present day government believes that establishing Perdana Park is a pretty good safeguard against further commercial development in the future.

Some may say that Perdana Park, area wise, is small compared to parks in major cities around the world. However, we must be mindful that in Kota Kinabalu city itself, the number of open spaces, let alone sizable ones, have greatly diminished due to rampant development in the past. Today, Perdana Park probably stands on the last piece of prime open space in KK.

4. Why would a corporate entity commit to such a project?

There was the very real issue of not having government funds to build a park befitting the vision we had. There were other priorities. Then it struck me that if the KLCC park could be built by a corporate figure in exchange for land, I saw no reason why the same could not be done for Kota Kinabalu.

The question then came down to finding the right corporate entity to work with. It has to be one that can deliver the vision of the project and on top of that possess the resources as it was going to be a multi-million ringgit project.

The corporate figure I thought of was the person behind Timatch Sdn Bhd, Datuk Victor Paul, whom has many decades of experience in all sorts of industries, including construction. Like I said initially the construction of the Park was to be made under a land swap deal. So, I was truly taken aback when the land exchange offer was declined. Instead, a commitment was made to build this park entirely as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a gift to the state and the people without any form of payment or reward. Hence, it must be made very clear that no project exchange is involved in the development of Perdana Park. The State Government is also pleased to learn that Timatch will also maintain and operate the park as a community service without any fee.

5. How do you see it play a role with the public? What is its value to the citizens of KK?

The leaders and city halls of the world already realise the intrinsic value of a park to any city. Many a time, the question has been asked: Do parks make sense in shaping a city? Even one such as Kota Kinabalu that is relatively young and still finding its place? The answer is yes. There are numerous benefits derived from public parks, factors which I thoroughly considered with the inception of this project.

(i) Strengthen community – parks function as a social and recreational space for people to get together, thereby strengthening community values.

(ii) Urban oasis – people can spend time outside without paying money. It’s like your own personal backyard especially with more and more people living in condos these days.

(iii) Health and recreation – parks are a place to reduce stress and relax, a vital aspect of managing a balanced life.

(iv) Child development – parents can be assured of a safe play environment to nurture their children physically and emotionally towards becoming healthier individuals. We all remember how excited we were as children when we got our trips to the neighbourhood park.

(v) Ecological conservation – with the park, we get a green space safeguarded from development, and will help with air pollution. Research has shown that even small parks are able to cool cities in a world faced with global warming.

(vi) Economy and property values – well-managed parks can raise real estate value and boost tourism. There are lots of reports and numbers out that there back this. A fine park also increases the value of a city for global companies looking to find a base as they are seen a key element to a conducive working and living environment in a city.

6. What is the significance of the park to the state in light of other issues like poverty and infrastructure needs?

The State is committed to each issue it faces in bettering the lifes of its people. Yes we need to bridge the gaps where poverty, infrastructure needs and economic development are concerned. At the same time, it is equally imperative to adopt crucial lessons from other cities of the world to ensure the state’s economic center, the city of Kota Kinabalu, is able to retain its identity, communal values and economic integrity.

The State Government sees the park as a first step toward making Kota Kinabalu another landmark city in Asia and the world. It is a step towards making it a city of tomorrow, one that our children can be proud of.

It is also, we believe, a complement to the many programmes under the Sabah Development Corridor to turn Sabah into a leading economic hub and thus is part of the whole fabric of on-going efforts to develop the state of Sabah. As mentioned, Kota Kinabalu is a relatively young city and there is room to grow into its identity. The State Government is doing its part in shaping it into a great city.

We have taken a leaf out of the books of other great cities. From here, we also know that the maintenance of the park is important. The corporate philanthropist has once again stepped up to the plate and will be running the operations of the park as part of a community service to the state for which the state government is truly appreciative.

In this light, we appeal to the public to assist us with the care of the park. Civic consciousness is vital. The park should be a space enjoyed by the generations of today and tomorrow.

This project was executed based on the government-corporate cooperation model and there is a lot of potential for more of these type of projects. With people and corporates working together with government, capabilities to develop the state becomes a lot more exponential. This helps to bring us ever closer to the objective of elevating the quality of living for all Malaysians in Sabah.

Sabah to have nation’s first ‘green’ library in three years

http://i.imgur.com/cRIlm.jpg

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah can boast of having the nation's first environmentally-friendly library in three years.

The new city library adjacent to the scenic Perdana Park at Tanjung Aru here will incorporate the latest environmentally-friendly features including using less electricity.

Sabah State Library director Wong Vui Yin said the structure that would incorporate the motifs of Sabah's ethnic communities would also be designed to require minimum maintenance.

“Our aim is also to make the library a stress-free environment. One of the approaches is to make the architecture and landscaping blend with the surroundings,” he said yesterday.

In addition, the building would be soundproofed apart from being user-friendly for the young and those with physical disabilities.

He said the RM36mil library would be constructed on a 1.2ha site.

Once completed in 2014, the six-storey structure would have a total floor space of over 5,000sq metres.

On Wednesday, State Assistant Minister of Community Development and Consumer Affairs Datuk Herbert Timbon Lagadan said the new library was to replace the 35-year-old building in the city centre that would be demolished as it was unsafe.

Herbert said the current library would be temporarily relocated to a rented area at the Suria Sabah mall until the completion of the new building.

The current site would be handed over to the Judicial Department for the expansion of the Kota Kinabalu court complex, Herbert added.

A group of social activists had spoken out against plans to demolish the library as the facility was located in a strategic area and was convenient to the public.

Beautifying the riverbanks
Beautifying the riverbanks
By MUGUNTAN VANAR Friday December 3, 2010
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2010/12/3/southneast/7524526&sec=southneast

http://thestar.com.my/archives/2010/12/3/southneast/ms_pg02walk.jpg

Big plans: The Sembulan riverbank will look like this in 2012.

KOTA KINABALU: The city’s riverfront is set to take on a new look by 2012.

After months of planning and negotiations, the first parcel of the Sungai Sembulan Beautifi-cation Project is finally taking off.

Kota Kinabalu City mayor Datuk Iliyas Ibrahim said the Sembulan river beautification project, costing RM25mil, involved the construction of the Sembulan riverbank in the Karamunsing and Sembulan areas adjoining Sadong Jaya here.

“It will be constructed by Abad Jaya Construction Sdn Bhd, who won the open tender for the project.

“It is expected to be completed by 2012,” he said when announcing it.

He said the Sembulan River Beautification Project was one of three tourism-related projects for Kota Kinabalu City being funded by the Sabah Economic Development and Investment Authority (Sedia) under the Sabah Development Corridor.

The other two projects are the coastal bicycle path between Tanjung Aru and UMS and the upgrading of the historical precinct of Kota Kinabalu City.

Construction works are divided into three parcels. Only works in Parcel One have commenced while the others are delayed due to several outstanding issues such as the need to relocate squatters, several abandoned buildings and land exchanges.

Iliyas said a total of RM45mil had been allocated to the Sembulan river beautification project, which involved beautifying the riverbanks of both Sungai Sembulan and Sungai Karamunsing, between the South China Sea and Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman adjacent to the MUIS building and Sungai Karamunsing to Jalan Kemajuan adjacent to the flyover.

He said massive changes were expected to take place in the adjoining areas, and that building owners and businesses needed to cooperate to help transform the whole area into a vibrant tourism hub with dining and entertainment establishments of international standards.

He stressed that building owners and the nearby residents in the Sembulan area should see this as an opportunity to upgrade and beautify their buildings and houses, so that visitors and tourists would be impressed.

Iliyas said the Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK) was going far beyond carrying out the normal “repair” job on an old part of the city.

He said the project’s design was of an international standard and was prepared by Innotech Design Architects Sdn Bhd, which together with AIA Consortium Consultancy Services and their team of experts, had taken into consideration concepts and lessons learned from cities that had developed their waterfronts such as Singapore, Seoul, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Sydney and Melbourne.

He added that the architect had also earmarked several public sites for outdoor entertainment and a number of spots for public art such as sculptures and fountains.

Iliyas reminded the public not to confuse beautification and transformation of the Sembulan and Karamunsing riverbanks with the cleaning and rehabilitation of the rivers as those issues would be looked into separately by DBKK.

He also appealed to building owners, business proprietors, customers and residents of the Sungai Sembulan area, particularly in Sadong Jaya, to be patient with DBKK over the project.

He pointed out that DBKK had come up with a traffic plan and parking areas, but added that the plan might be altered over the construction period.

Pacific Parade
phase 1 to be completed by end 2013
17th October, 2011

http://i.imgur.com/wY2xc.jpg

KOTA KINABALU: The 1st phase of the Pacific Parade, a multi-billion mixed commercial development at the former Likas Megamall project site will be completed by December 2013.

The mall will house Sabah’s biggest entertainment centre and will target to be a wholesale cum retail centre along the lines of Chinese style complexes in Shenzhen and Shanghai. The developers expect this wholesale cum retail centre to attract not only Sabahans but also traders from Brunei, Kalimantan and Southern Philippines.

Pacific Parade on Friday signed a turnkey development contract with MCC Overseas Inc, China’s largest construction company and a Fortune 500 Company.

The Metallurgical Corporation of China (MCC) Construction Company is also partly owned by Baosteel Group which manufactures over 60 per cent of China’s total steel production, making them one of the world’s largest steel producers.

MCC reported newly signed construction contracts amounting to over RMB218 billion (RM110 billion) for 2010 and an operating revenue of over RMB207 billion (RM105 billion).

Datuk Henrynus Amin, representing Pacific Parade said, “With the appointment of MCC Construction, this would guarantee the timely completion of the mall which should be operational by Christmas 2013. MCC has an impeccable record of completing even ahead of time and delivering world class finished products.

“We are very proud that they have agreed to enter Sabah to partner with us and we visualise the development of many other mega projects which will benefit our State.

“We should use their technology, financial strengths, trade and manufacturing networks to bring about more rapid development for Sabah,” he added.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wei Min, President of MCC Overseas Limited said, “We are very impressed with this resource rich state and from what we have heard; this State is led by a dynamic and business-friendly leadership.

“We will rely on our local partners the K. K. Pacific Group to steer us to more projects which will result in fast track development of this beautiful state the way our own states in China have grown.

“We are prepared to assist Sabah in any way that will foster stronger economic cooperation between Chinese companies and Sabah – this could pave the way for a much enhanced level of joint ventures for our mutual benefit,” he said.

Zhou added, “The next decade will see an explosion of Chinese tourists and Chinese capital coming into SE Asia to develop long term alliances – Chinese companies will not be investing in Europe or Middle East so our capital will logically be heavily invested in SE Asia.

“Our presence here, led by the K. K. Pacific group is evidence of our serious commitment to foster new business opportunities,” he said.

Riverson Complex

http://i.imgur.com/GrWrz.jpg

http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/11/08/kk-southern-city-hub-in-the-making/

KOTA KINABALU: Riverson, a RM590 million mix-integrated commercial development located along the coastal highway here and within the City’s Central Business District, is expected to be ready by 2014.

Developed on over 5.5 acres of prime commercial land, it would make its mark on the city as a vibrant proejct comprising four main pillars – The Gleneagles Kota Kinabalu Medical Centre, three-storey retail shops (Riverson Walk), a tower of six-storey office suites with mezzanine floor (Riverson Suites) and a seven-storey tower of SoHo units with mezzanine floor (Riverson SoHo).

Riverson Corporation Sdn Bhd managing director Ben Kong Chung Vui said when completed, Riverson together with other existing notable landmarks within the central business district, namely the Sutera Harbour Golf & Country Club, KK Times Square I & II, the upcoming transport-interchange station, Wawasan Plaza, Harbour City, and the newly completed Ming Garden Hotel would form the new KK Southern City Hub.

Ben, who has 15 years experience in the field, envisioned that within the next three to four years, the people shall see a shifting paradigm in the city, the lifestyle, as well as the advancement and growing business environment within Sabah.

“Riverson, being the upcoming new addition to the city, together with its immediate neighbours, will bring about substantial integration of activities and continuous crowd movements, served and generated by about 900 residences, over 600,000 square feet of commercial retail outlets, approximately 800,000 square feet of office space altogether, more than 6,000 car parks and more than 12 hotels in the vicinity; offering no less than 15,000 job opportunities into the market.

“This new integration of Southern Hub is also touted to be the ‘Orchard Road of Kota Kinabalu’, which will become KK’s latest modern and most walkable part offering a complete stretch from leisure to wellness all under one destination,” Ben disclosed to the media recently.

Recently, Danajamin Nasional Berhad granted Riverson a RM200 million five-year Private Debt Securities Bond.

The Gleneagles Kota Kinabalu Medical Centre, said Ben, will be the main anchor for Riverson. It will be developed as a tertiary level hospital, bringing Sabah a healthcare facility of international standards that shall work towards enhancing care in the state.

He assured that Gleneagles KK shall be assimilated with regionally well-established premium Gleneagles brand inculcating a facility with five-star hotel amenities and comfort, service levels to match, be infused with cutting edge technology and have a highly trained team of consultants and staff.

With up to 250 beds, 180-seat auditorium, six large operating theaters, 24-hour accident and emergency department and trauma and intensive care centre, he said Gleneagles KK would be built to comply with the Joint Commission International (JCI) standards as well as all content of local and national regulations.

“The facility will cater to the growing healthcare needs of the residents in Kota Kinabalu and the surrounding areas and shall compliment to serve as one of the main private referral centres for Sabah.

Sabahans need not have to go overseas anymore for medical treatments.

“Besides, Gleneagles Kota Kinabalu will contribute to the development of Sabah’s medical tourism targeting patients from Indonesian cities such as Balikpapan, Pontianak in Kalimantan and from Brunei Darussalam, as well as neighbouring countries such as Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong and even Korea,” he added.

According to him, there will be a focus on setting up of centres of excellence on cardiology/cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, surgery, orthopaedics, gastroenterology and women and children.

“Gleneagles KK will also act as a catalyst for young local talents,” said Ben, adding that the centre would have a pool of 95 specialists covering all major specialties and comprise a multi-disciplinary approach based on appropriate and highly ethical practices.

Riverson Walk, he said, consists of 247 retail outlets with sizes ranging from the smallest unit of approximately 100 square feet to the largest unit 937 square feet, specially tailored and perfectly ideal for small boutique retail businesses – a concept similar to Singapore’s famous 313@Somerset, Orchard Road and Empire Subang in Subang Jaya.

He explained that the unique feature of The Walk is the carefully planned and designed spaces and walkway in the retail mall that benefits all patrons as well as the operators and shop owners; with emphasis placed on clean, safe, comfortable, convenient and friendly concept.

He said there will be also carefully selected F&Bs and al-fresco cafes, where patrons can dine, hang out, relish and enjoy over good food in chic surroundings.

“It will also be known as the core or heart of a social centre connecting people from the medical centre, the office suites, the SoHo and as well as the public as whole.

“Each outlet is designed to enable shop owners to operate individually, that is unlike most shopping malls in the city, shop owners will have more freedom in their individual operation hours,” Ben added.

Riverson SoHo is designed with contemporary architecture underpinned with a modernistic treatment.

The SoHo consists of only a block of 152 units of one to two-bedroom suites and duplexes with double volume living space.

The sizes range from approximately 530 square feet to approximately 1,755 square feet.

The SoHo of course, comes with amenities such as swimming pool, gym, function room, a common garden, security surveillance, and its own private drop-off area and lift lobby, but these are not its only selling points.

Each SoHo unit can also be converted for use as a home office – perfect and ideal for individuals that are keen to work from the comfort of their own home.

“Being situated in the heart of the city, and incorporated within the purpose-built mixed integrated development, enables Riverson SoHo to reap all the benefits of the locale.

“It boasts as a sought after address for both locals and expatriate community, supported by thriving commercial centres, an international medical centre just a step away, thus making all the difference in the realm of luxury stylish urban living, as well as a viable investment opportunity,” said Ben.

Riverson Suites is designed with flexibility in mind; an innovative work space catered to fulfil the ever evolving business needs of Sabah’s fast-paced and fast-growing business environment.

“One could have an option of owning a customizable corporate suite of 1000 square feet, or half a floor, or even the entire full floor of approximately 20,000 square feet.

“The Suites will have its distinctive corporate feature framed with the latest and modern architectural design, enhanced by its own exclusive and grand private drop-off lobby, secure with 24-hour surveillance and service operations,” he said, adding that the company’s sales promotion would be launched here on November 12.

Four Points by Sheraton Kota Kinabalu at 1Likas

http://www.theedgeproperty.com/images/stories/0sheraton-and-gandingan-era.jpg

By Rosalynn Poh of theedgeproperty.com
Friday, 11 November 2011 15:47

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 11): The new mixed development 1Likas in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah will feature Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide's fourth Four Points by Sheraton hotel in the country.

With a gross development value of RM850 million, 1Likas is a joint development between developer Gandingan Erajuta Sdn Bhd and Sabah Energy Corp Sdn Bhd (SEC), as the landowner.

The almost four-acre development is located at Likas Bay, accessible and visible from the coastal road, Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens, and minutes away from the city centre.

The integrated development comprises a 13-storey office tower Menara SEC, 57 shop lots, 28 office lots, a boutique hotel and/or college, residential towers including a "super" condominium tower, and the international hotel.

The RM120 million Four Points by Sheraton Kota Kinabalu will be in a 28-level tower offering 234 rooms. The hotel is expected to be completed by 2016.

The signing ceremony between Starwood and Gandingan Erajuta was held on Thursday.

Signing on behalf of the developer was executive director Izaddeen Daud while Starwood senior vice-president of acquisitions and developments (Asia Pacific) Matthew Fry represented the international hotel chain.

Also present at the signing were 1Likas's turnkey contractor Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Raymond Chan and executive director Tan Tiang Lai.

"Because of its prime seafront location, we want to add value and prestige to the development by securing a global hotel brand. Four Points by Sheraton is exceptionally suitable for our development. Foreign and local businessmen will find it convenient and comfortable to stay and to conduct business," Izaddeen said.

Award-winning real estate agency Zerin Properties secured Four Points by Sheraton for Gandingan Erajuta.

"We are excited to be working in partnership with Gandingan Erajuta to develop best-in-class hotels in one of the fastest growing cities in Malaysia. We are delighted that our expansion plans are going from strength to strength in Malaysia. Four Points by Sheraton Kota Kinabalu is not only a valuable addition to our fast growing portfolio in Malaysia but indicates that Starwood is responding to a growing need for mid-market hotel accommodation in Malaysia," Starwood's regional vice-president (Southeast Asia) Chuck Abbott said.

There are currently two operational Four Points by Sheraton hotels in Malaysia, located in Langkawi, Kedah, and Kuching, Sarawak.

Abbott said the third Four Points by Sheraton will open in Sandakan, Sabah soon. The 298-room Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan, which is part of the Sandakan Harbour Square development, is expected to open in March 2012.

"Currently, we have nine hotels in operation for Starwood [in Malaysia] and we would certainly like to double that within the next 12 to 18 months. We have approximately six that are either signed or under construction now.

"There are not a lot of branded hotels in [Sabah and Sarawak], which is strong in eco-tourism and the oil and gas sector. Starwood also has two other four-star hotel brands — Aloft and Element — which would be beneficial to [Sabah and Sarawak] as well," Abbott said.

According to a report late 2010, London Stock Exchange-listed Aseana Properties Ltd, which is developing two office blocks and hotel together with Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd in KL Sentral, was in advanced negotiations with Starwood to manage the hotel under its Aloft brand. The hotel is expected to be completed in 2H12 with a gross floor area of 350,000 sq ft.

Kota Kinabalu is a potential shopping haven in Asia: Masidi
Wednesday January 11, 2012
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2012/1/11/southneast/10236500&sec=southneast

KOTA KINABALU: The city has great potential to become one of Asia’s shopping haven with its new premier shopping mall said Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun.

Masidi added that Sabah is quickly making a name for itself as a shopping destination like Kuala Lumpur, especially among tourists from China, the Philippines, Indonesia and Brunei.

“As of October last year, more than 114,000 tourists from China came to Sabah as well as Kuala Lumpur to shop,” he said at the official launch of the Suria Sabah Shopping Mall here by Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin.

Also present was Juhar’s wife, Toh Puan Norlidah RM Jasni.

Masidi suggested three pre-requisites for mall operators to achieve success, namely increased safety to prevent crime, improved toilet cleanliness as well as pleasant staff and sales assistants.

He said the shopping mall was a catalyst for the state’s tourism industry.

The RM330mil shopping mall has become the first stop for residents and tourists since it opened its doors to the public at the end of 2009.

On the action by Malaysia Airlines to suspend four routes involving the Sabah regional network this year, Masidi said tourist arrivals in the state would be unaffected despite the reduced flights.

He said the state government would carry out various proactive measures to ensure that Sabah remains a major tourist destination. - Bernama.

of the 32-storey condominium tower allows for incorporation of narrow monsoon windows throughout
the building perimeter as a passive environmental control device for wind catchment. Eco-ponds and
contoured drainage courses covered with vegetation (bioswales) are introduced on the ground storey
to manage surface runoff from the surrounding hilly terrain.

as a circulation corridor.

Enhancing the city: An artist’s impression on the cycleway.

KOTA KINABALU: City dwellers can look forward to another mega facelift project here with a RM38mil pedestrian walkway, the construction of which is expected to kick off in the middle of this year.

Stretching across a distance of 25.6km from the scenic seaside town of Tanjung Aru to the city’s bustling Central Business District and ending at Universiti Malaysia Sabah in Likas, the project overlooking the South China Sea is yet another mammoth initiative to beautify the state capital.

Once completed, the facility – which will include a 17km cycle path – will have, among others, a bicycle shared path, covered bicycle parks, children playground, benches, toilets, showers and lockers.

Mayor Datuk Abidin Madingkir said the project was intended to enhance the city experience, adding it would be financed by the Federal government through the Sabah Economic Development and Investment Authority (Sedia).

Speaking during the launching of Kota Kinabalu’s 12th anniversary as a city recently, Abidin said tenders for the project would be called this April and construction would be divided into four phases.

“This latest project is a host of beautification undertakings earmarked for the state capital with the previous being the regeneration of Tanjung Aru as an eco-friendly beachfront as announced by Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman,” he said.

Abidin said the city would also upgrade its public transportation system this year, adding that the Kota Kinabalu City Hall will commence the second and third phase of the Sembulan River beautification project.

He said the construction of a bus terminal at Jalan Kepayan here would also be implemented this year while city workers have already started cleaning the city’s drainage system to reduce the instances of flash floods.

Multi-million ringgit facelift for Centre Point Sabah
By Bernama
Thursday, 15 March 2012 16:26

http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/8329791.jpg
KOTA KINABALU (Mar 15): Centre Point Sabah (CPS), one of the state's largest shopping complexes, will spend several million ringgit to refurbish the 22-year-old shopping mall.

Pan-Pacific Construction Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director Andrew Chang Chi Ming said work is expected to start soon and completed in four months.

"Once refurbishment is completed, the CPS complex will have a different external appearance in the day and at night.

"The colourful signages and advertisements will bring a gleaming brightness to Kota Kinabalu City. The draping of greenery on the external wall of the complex will reflect our response to global eco-friendly environment.

"We're going to use energy-saving LED lightings, insulated aluminium grilles and emulated timber. All these are environment-friendly building materials.

"This shows the CPS is spearheading the go-green for Kota Kinabalu City," he told reporters here on Thursday.

Andrew said the CPS's interior would also be upgraded with a new look for the food court, turning CPS more competitive than other shopping malls in Sabah.

"The CPS complex will maintain its operating hours during the refurbishment period and we will ensure strict safety precautions in and around the worksites.

"We'll try our best to keep any inconvenience to the minimum," he added. — Bernama

Mah Sing to venture into Sabah with RM830 million project

Mah Sing Group Berhad will be entering the Sabah property market with a mixed development dubbed Sutera Avenue with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM830million on 8.67acres of prime commercial land along the Coastal Highway in Kota Kinabalu’s Central Business District (CBD).

A joint development agreement was signed for the proposed joint development of 4.26 acres for an entitlement of RM39 million or approximately RM210 psf. Mah Sing is also entitled to exercise an option for 4.41 acres of an adjacent site at an entitlement price of RM216psf or approximately RM41.5 million within six months of this agreement.

“We are keen to enter the Sabah market due to the vibrancy of its economy which has benefited from the wealth of natural resources including oil palm, timber and oil and gas. Tourist trade is strong and provides a large market catchment, coupled with the domestic population base,” said Mah Sing group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum in a statement on March 26.

“Kota Kinabalu together with the surrounding towns of Penampang, Tuaran and Kota Belud in Sabah has a population of approximately 800,000. Our maiden foray into Sabah is on a highly visible location in Kota Kinabalu’s CBD, and coupled with our planned offerings which meet market demand, we are very excited about the prospects of this new market,” he added.

The developer plans to offer multi-storey shop offices fronting the Coastal Highway and sreet mall retail lots as well as serviced apartments for the first phase of 4.26 acres. These shop offices will incorporate the unique concept inspired by its 30 Jewels and Gourmet Street shops in Icon City Petaling Jaya

The retail units will be designed for F&B and street mall retail concept, in synergy with the shop-offices while the serviced residences will incorporate contemporary lifestyle concepts that will be sought-after by both local and foreign buyers.

The site is located diagonally opposite the 5-star Sutera Harbour Resort and KK Times Square.

“Sutera Avenue is a perfect fit with our business strategy; the location is second to none, facilities and amenities abound, and we can launch the project quickly in line with our fast turnaround business strategy. We shall develop the project over 5 years, and intend to commence registration of interest by the second half of this year, as early as the third quarter,” said Leong.

According to WTW’s Property Market 2012 report, major condominium developments launched in the CBD have seen developer selling prices at new benchmark prices. In addition to increasing land costs and scarcer choice development lands, the hype on condominiums is also spurred by the favorable economic climate backed by earnings from good palm oil prices over the last few years.

The existing supply of purpose-built office space in Kota Kinabalu currently enjoys high occupancy rates of 91% due to the lack of new supply and the conversion of some office buildings to hotels in the last 1-2 years. Rents and values are rather stable although there are some upward movements in rents and values for prime and newer office buildings within the CBD.

The retail sector remains stable with established retail malls and those with good management and differentiated offerings maintaining high business levels.

Sabah’s wealth of natural resources has created an economic boom and its breathtaking landscape has also made Sabah a popular choice for both tourists and business travelers, so much so that tourism is expected to contribute over 10% of Sabah’s GDP.

“Kota Kinabalu is a premier tourist destination and is projecting about 2.75 million tourist arrivals in 2012, after attracting more than 2.63 million tourists in 2011. Close to 850,000 international tourists visited Sabah in 2011, with more than 300,000 from South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, China, Macau and Singapore. More than half of Sabah’s international tourists are repeat visitors, with close to 80% of them paying for accommodation during their travel. With their intimate knowledge of the region and frequency of their visits, we believe these tourists are also our potential investors,” said Leong.

This is Mah Sing’s second land deal in as many months, as the developer has a landbanking target of acquiring new projects with potential gross development value of RM5 billion in 2012. With the acquisition of Sutera Avenue, the Group’s landbank now stands at 1,226 acres with remaining GDV and unbilled sales worth an estimated RM16.27 billion, giving them strong earnings visibility for the next 5 to 7 years.

GRAND MERDEKA

http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r552/speedtobeat/GrandMerdekaFolder0-1.jpg

Sub-Urban Mega Mall, known as GRAND MERDEKA is now open for booking. It is located between Menggatal township & Telipok township. Next to the Telekom Training Centre, at Bandar Sierra. It will be the one & only mega mall (with theater, food court, bank, hyper mall, with many anchor tenants, ample parking space, etc) to serve the 150,000 population there. It is based on "Everyone Can Own" concept, thus selling at a cheap price, ranging from RM89,449 (for a 119 sq ft lot on 2nd floor) to RM9,632,534 for 12,843 sq ft on the choicest ground floor space. They are using green technology, using large air-coolers (instead of air-cond) & wide bulwark walkways. This will lower our management fee to only 60 sen per sq. ft.

The Grand Merdeka Development Sdn. Bhd. built the famous Wisma Merdeka building in the heart of Kota Kinabalu town, and have thus named this mall GRAND MERDEKA.

Four Points by Sheraton Kota Kinabalu at 1Likas
By Rosalynn Poh of theedgeproperty.com
Friday, 11 November 2011 15:47

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 11): The new mixed development 1Likas in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah will feature Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide's fourth Four Points by Sheraton hotel in the country.

With a gross development value of RM850 million, 1Likas is a joint development between developer Gandingan Erajuta Sdn Bhd and Sabah Energy Corp Sdn Bhd (SEC), as the landowner.

The almost four-acre development is located at Likas Bay, accessible and visible from the coastal road, Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens, and minutes away from the city centre.

The integrated development comprises a 13-storey office tower Menara SEC, 57 shop lots, 28 office lots, a boutique hotel and/or college, residential towers including a "super" condominium tower, and the international hotel.

The RM120 million Four Points by Sheraton Kota Kinabalu will be in a 28-level tower offering 234 rooms. The hotel is expected to be completed by 2016.

The signing ceremony between Starwood and Gandingan Erajuta was held on Thursday.

Signing on behalf of the developer was executive director Izaddeen Daud while Starwood senior vice-president of acquisitions and developments (Asia Pacific) Matthew Fry represented the international hotel chain.

Also present at the signing were 1Likas's turnkey contractor Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Raymond Chan and executive director Tan Tiang Lai.

"Because of its prime seafront location, we want to add value and prestige to the development by securing a global hotel brand. Four Points by Sheraton is exceptionally suitable for our development. Foreign and local businessmen will find it convenient and comfortable to stay and to conduct business," Izaddeen said.

Award-winning real estate agency Zerin Properties secured Four Points by Sheraton for Gandingan Erajuta.

"We are excited to be working in partnership with Gandingan Erajuta to develop best-in-class hotels in one of the fastest growing cities in Malaysia. We are delighted that our expansion plans are going from strength to strength in Malaysia. Four Points by Sheraton Kota Kinabalu is not only a valuable addition to our fast growing portfolio in Malaysia but indicates that Starwood is responding to a growing need for mid-market hotel accommodation in Malaysia," Starwood's regional vice-president (Southeast Asia) Chuck Abbott said.

There are currently two operational Four Points by Sheraton hotels in Malaysia, located in Langkawi, Kedah, and Kuching, Sarawak.

Abbott said the third Four Points by Sheraton will open in Sandakan, Sabah soon. The 298-room Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan, which is part of the Sandakan Harbour Square development, is expected to open in March 2012.

"Currently, we have nine hotels in operation for Starwood [in Malaysia] and we would certainly like to double that within the next 12 to 18 months. We have approximately six that are either signed or under construction now.

"There are not a lot of branded hotels in [Sabah and Sarawak], which is strong in eco-tourism and the oil and gas sector. Starwood also has two other four-star hotel brands — Aloft and Element — which would be beneficial to [Sabah and Sarawak] as well," Abbott said.

According to a report late 2010, London Stock Exchange-listed Aseana Properties Ltd, which is developing two office blocks and hotel together with Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd in KL Sentral, was in advanced negotiations with Starwood to manage the hotel under its Aloft brand. The hotel is expected to be completed in 2H12 with a gross floor area of 350,000 sq ft.
