CIMB Mapletree to set up RM5b property fund
Published: 2008/04/25


CIMB Mapletree Management Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between CIMB Group and Mapletree, a leading real estate company in Singapore, is targeting to set up RM4.7 billion to RM5 billion property fund early next year.

CIMB Mapletree’s chief investment officer Muhyiddin A. Razack said the fund would be focusing on Malaysian properties.

To date, a total committed capital of property assets worth RM400 million has been established by the company, he said at a media briefing after the launch of a property project in Taman Desa, off Jalan Klang Lama, by Peter’s Holdings Sdn Bhd.

“With borrowings, the total fund size will reach RM1.4 billion to RM1.5 billion from RM400 milllion currently, of which 80 per cent of the fund is already allocated mainly for properties in Malaysia,” Razack said.


In Malaysia, CIMB Mapletree has been involved in property projects in Penang, Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur, he said.

CIMB Mapletree’s latest venture is a condominium project in Kuala Lumpur in collaboration with Peter’s Holdings.

“We are also doing sale and lease for properties in Technology Park Malaysia,” Razack said.

The company also has interest in property projects overseas, including a shopping mall near Bangkok, he said.

“Good investment properties are hard to come by these days,” Razack said, adding that CIMB Mapletree will remain focused on properties in the office, retail and residential sectors.

CIMB Mapletree is involved in a profit-sharing arrangement with Peter’s Holdings for the project known as Papillon Desahill Condominium.

Peter’s Holdings’ senior general manager Andrea Loke said gross development value of the project was estimated at RM180 million.

It featured 225 condominium units, priced from RM480,000 to RM800,000 each, which are scheduled to be completed by 2011, she said Loke said about 35 per cent of the units had so far been taken up with most of the buyers from Malaysia.

“The target buyers are young affluent purchasers and investors. We have received encouraging response since the soft launch early this month,” said Peter’s Holdings’ managing director Peter Loke.

The company is into residential and commercial property projects in Perak, Selangor and Johor with gross development value of about RM1.2 billion.

It is also involved in the manufacturing of tower cranes in China. — Bernama

Peter’s Holdings targets medium high-cost property market
By S.C. CHEAH

KUALA LUMPUR: Peter’s Holdings Sdn Bhd is positioning itself as a developer of medium high-cost property and is looking for land in prime and established locations in the Klang Valley.

Managing director Peter Loke Kwok Seong said while the company continued to develop its low- and medium-cost residential project in Petaling Utama, its aim was to be a player in the medium high-cost property market.

“We are sourcing for land in niche and matured areas like Taman Desa, Taman Seputeh and Ampang,” he said.

He said this at a media preview of the Papillon Desahill Condominium at the project’s site sales office-cum-show unit in Taman Desa yesterday.

The condominium, on 4.5-acre freehold land, marks the company’s foray into the medium high property sector.

“At Peter’s Holdings, we pride ourselves on having the ability to create value for our customers. We believe the viability of a property developer depends on how much value he can create.

“The more value is created, the more projects will be demanded and the more repeat buyers there will be. This is a cycle and a philosophy we hold true,” Loke added.

Papillon Desahill, with a gross development value (GDV) of RM180mil, offers 225 units in two, 15-storey wings. About 30% of the units have been sold since its soft launch a month ago.

The price range is about RM400 per sq ft. There will be four designs with 1,312 to 2,059 sq ft sizes and priced from RM480,000 to RM800,000.

The 16 penthouse duplexes with 2,498 to 3,661 sq ft are priced between RM1.1mil and RM1.6mil.

Business development manager Katrina Loke is confident that 80% of the units would be sold within a year.

“Most of our purchasers are local up-graders,” she said, adding that a 2% discount per unit was being offered for a limited period.

CIMB-Mapletree Management (which manages the CIMB-Mapletree Real Estate Fund 1) is collaborating with Peter’s Holdings to market and promote the project under a profit-sharing basis.

Loke said its ongoing and future projects had a GDV of RM1.25bil.

Peter's Holdings lines up RM1b KL projects
Published: 2008/04/28



PROPERTY developer Peter's Holdings Sdn Bhd (PHSB) plans to launch new projects worth RM1 billion in Kuala Lumpur over the next 12 months.

Managing director Peter Loke Kwok Seong said it will launch a RM700 million project comprising medium-cost houses and a hypermarket on 12.15ha it owns on Old Klang Road by the end of this year.

"We are also negotiating with landowners to buy two plots of land in Ampang to build high-rise condominiums next year for RM300 million," he said at a media preview of Papillon Desahill Condominium in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.

In addition to that, Loke said it is planning to launch its maiden development overseas, targeting China, where it has a crane-making business. "We are talking to our partners and hope to launch the development next year," he added.


PHSB's current projects are in Perak and Johor, worth RM120 million. It is also the project manager for Papillon Desahill, a new landmark project within the Taman Desa enclave worth RM180 million.

The company was awarded the job by its affiliate company ZEUS-TNB Properties, which is a 60:40 joint-venture company between Zeus Development Sdn Bhd and TNB Properties Sdn Bhd.

Papillon Desahill comprises 225 units in two 15-storey blocks, perched over 1.82ha. Construction would commence in July and completion slated by early 2011.

The units are available in four designs with built ups of 1,312 sq ft to 2,059 sq ft priced from RM480,000 to RM800,000 each or RM400 per sq ft.

The highest are the penthouses duplexes with build ups of 2,498 sq ft to 3,661 sq ft, which are priced from RM1.1 million to RM1.6 million each.

Loke said it hopes to sell up to 80 per cent of the units within the next 12 months.

Since its soft launch a month ago, up to 35 per cent of the units have been taken up, a bulk of it by locals and some by Japanese and Koreans.

PHSB is working with CIMB-Mapletree Management Sdn Bhd, the manager of CIMB-Mapletree Real Estate Fund I, for the plan and specifications of the project and in promoting the development. - By Sharen Kaur

Developers zoom in on Taman Desa
PROPERTY TALK
BY S.C. CHEAH
TAMAN Desa, off Jalan Klang Lama, is experiencing a mini property boom as developers zoom into this much-sought-after neighbourhood in Kuala Lumpur.

The completion of the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) a few years ago has greatly eased the traffic flow at Jalan Klang Lama as motorists can bypass most parts of the widened Jalan Klang Lama.


The NPE links Bangsar and the KL-Seremban Highway to Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya and beyond.

Taman Desa residents can also access the KLIA-Putrajaya Highway via the Seremban Highway or at Kuchai Lama.

With the new highway linkages, residents of Taman Desa and its adjacent areas, including Seputeh and Taman Abadi, can gain access to any part of the Klang Valley and many amenities are now within their reach.

Over the past few years, several new developments have come up or are being launched in Taman Desa, an established neighbourhood that was developed by Faber Union about 30 years ago.

Faber Union started off with 110 semi-detached houses and 120 bungalow lots in 1976 at Taman Desa. It later built 578 units of two-storey terrace house in 1978.

It then went into building apartments such as the Faber Ria (402 units) in 1985, Faber Heights (370 units) in 1989, Faber Indah (130 units) in 1989, Danau Idaman (659 units) in 1996, Danau Impian (500 units), Danau Permai (512 units), Tiara Faber (320 units) in 2000, and Taratak Muhibbah (1,064 units) in 2000.

It also developed the Casa Desa condominium (410 units) and Danau Villa (64 units of three-storey semi-detached link home) in 2007.

Taman Desa started off as an upmarket housing area with semi-detached houses and bungalow lots many years ago. It has retained its middle-to-upper-class image, thanks to new developments that reflect this upmarket image.

One of the newcomers is the Papillon Desahill condominium by Zeus-TNB Properties Sdn Bhd, an affiliate of Peter's Holdings Sdn Bhd.

The 4.5-acre freehold project comprises 225 units with built-up areas from 1,312 to 2,039 sq ft and duplex units from 2,498 to 3,661 sq ft (from RM365 per sq ft). It is next to the Faber Heights condominium and very near Jalan Klang Lama.

Two other new projects are the Danau Villa three-storey semi-detached link homes, a joint venture between Faber Union and Kuala Lumpur City Hall and the Desa Ria, a 104-unit freehold condo by the UOA Group. It boasts larger units of 2,200 sq ft and was launched in 2006. The units were priced around RM300 per sq ft when it was launched but they are now selling from RM385 to RM445 per sq ft.


Taman Danau Desa's commercial centre offers plenty of food and beverage outlets, among the thriving businesses there.

Taman Desa's other housing schemes such as Seputeh and Taman Abadi are a mix of landed and high-rise apartments.

There are some 7,000 units of apartment and condominium in Taman Desa alone. These include completed projects like the OBD Garden (260 units), Desa Villa (340 units), Desa Murni (500 units), Bukit Desa (252 units), Desa Ria (104 units), Abadi Villa condo (330 units) and Abadi Indah apartments (754 units).

There are about 5,500 housing units in Taman Desa, Taman Bukit Desa, Taman Danau Desa, Taman Desa Utama, Seputeh and Taman Abadi, with about 30,000 people staying in Taman Desa.

Facilities in Taman Desa include the Desa Water Park, Taman Desa Medical Centre, wet market, office towers at Faber Towers, shops in the Taman desa and Danau Desa commercial centres, two secondary schools and a primary school. A new school is being built near Desa Ria.

Henry Butcher Marketing Sdn Bhd chief operating officer Tang Chee Meng said Taman Desa was a generally safe place to live as residents have their own security patrols. He said a number of tycoons also lived there.

“Taman Desa is one of those under-rated locations in the Klang Valley which is a very convenient place to stay.

“In the past, people were concerned about the notorious traffic congestion along Jalan Klang Lama, but today with the vast improvements in road infrastructure, Taman Desa, with its central and convenient location between KL and PJ, enjoys excellent connectivity and accessibility. It is a good place to call home,” he said.

Tang said Taman Desa had a good record of capital appreciation. He cited the case of a man who bought his first house, a double-storey terrace house, for only RM145,000 in 1989 and sold it in 1991 for RM181,000. Today it is worth RM560,000 toRM630,000. A similar house was priced at only RM70,000 to RM76,000 in 1978.

“The man bought his second house, a double-storey semi-detached house, in 1991 at RM265,000. Today, it is worth more than RM1mil.

“The house was going for only RM98,000 to RM113,000 in 1978 while the bungalows were going for RM140,000 to RM160,000. Today, the bungalows are worth RM1.8mil to RM2.5mil. Prices have never dropped,” he added.

Things Loke great for Peter and his angels
By S.C. CHEAH

PETER'S Holdings Sdn Bhd is such a low-profile developer that many people may not know that this 35-year-old company has ongoing and future projects in Selangor, Perak and Johor worth an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM1.25bil.

Another interesting aspect of this company is that its founder Peter Loke Kwok Seong is blessed with three talented children, all daughters, who are helping him run the company.

The eldest, Andrea Loke, who is the senior general manager, joined the company in 1994 after being called to the Malaysian Bar and is in charge of legal matters while Joanne, the second daughter, is in charge of sales and administration. Her forte is in graphic design.

The youngest, Katrina, is the business development manager and the last to join the company.

The Loke sisters, who studied in Britain, have learnt the ropes from their father, having trudged through construction sites when they were young.

They are now busy with their maiden medium-high-end project, Papillion Desahill condominium in Taman Desa (off Jalan Klang Lama) in Kuala Lumpur. The project, soft launched a month ago, has a GDV of RM180mil.

CIMB-Mapletree Real Estate Fund 1 (a private estate fund managed by CIMB-Maple Management Sdn Bhd) is the synergistic partner via a collaborative arrangement.

http://a301.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/117/l_4a64f5dfa27b6b43ebe8f99fbeaa23c4.jpg
The condominium comprises two wings with 15 levels each and 225 units on 4.5 acres.
The condominium comprises two luxurious wings with 15 levels each and 225 units on 4.5 acres. Units come in four designs, with 1,312 to 2,059 sq ft built-up areas and priced from RM480,000 to RM800,000 (or around RM400 per sq ft).

The 16 highest units are the duplex penthouses with 2,498 to 3,661 sq ft built-up areas and priced RM1.1mil to RM1.6mil each.

The condominium, atop a hill, offers buyers a good view of either KLCC or Petaling Jaya and it boasts an infinity pool, tai chi garden, jacuzzi pool, gymnasium, sun deck, children's play area and multi-purpose court.

With three women running the daily operations, it is not surprising that they have also given their “feminine” touches to the concept as well as interior design of the show unit at the site.

http://biz.thestar.com.my/archives/2008/5/5/business/Papillon.jpg
Show unit: Lounge and dining area.

“When we designed the condo, we looked at it from the woman's point of view. For instance, women like large kitchens and practical layout,” said Andrea, adding that the maid's room with her own bathroom was tucked away for added privacy.

http://biz.thestar.com.my/archives/2008/5/5/business/Papillon2.jpg
High-end: Solid timber flooring in all bedrooms, air-conditioning units, quality and branded bathroom fittings, among other features.

Each unit has spacious living and dining areas to comply with the Papillon's “family” concept.

Although the Papillon is a medium-high-end project, it boasts high-end features like solid timber flooring of bungalow standards in all bedrooms, air-conditioning units, quality and branded bathroom fittings, 8ft-high doors and an intercom system linked to the security centre.

http://biz.thestar.com.my/archives/2008/5/5/business/Papillon3.jpg
An intercom system links each unit to the security centre.

Each unit comes with two covered car park bays.

“We are extremely busy these days. We are still developing Petaling Utama, where we have completed some 4,000 units of mixed low and low-medium-cost apartments on 150 acres of leasehold land. This project has another five years to go,” said Katrina.

She said the company prided itself in being able to create new and value-added products for its purchasers.

“Value creation is very important to us. For example, we increased the size of the normal low-cost apartment from 650 sq ft to 700 sq ft for our RM42,000 low-cost apartments in Petaling Utama that also come with an en suite for the master bedroom,” she said.

Peter's Holdings began as a manufacturer of clay bricks before moving up into property development and construction and then embarked on salvaging of abandoned housing schemes in Perak and Kuala Lumpur.

Its foray into the Kuala Lumpur market happened when Bank Negara sought its help to revive 150 acres of prime land in Petaling Utama that has today become a viable township.

The company's other projects include Taman Seri Berembang in Port Klang, Green Acres in Ipoh, Zeus Business Park in Johor, and a medium-cost apartment project in Balakong.

With his “angels” running the show, Peter Loke said he was spending more time to look for property development opportunities in China.

“I am very happy with them (daughters). Now I can retire,” he said with a smile.

Papillon is either known as a "Butterfly" in French or a small toy dog of a particular breed.

Guess the local council didn;t know it was a french word. I like the butterfly version. Its a beautiful name.

Recently I took a looked at this project. I was first skeptical thinking that it was just another project that was poorly concepted for the Taman Desa crowd. Seville Resident at Jalan Klang Lama was a disappointment

As I drove along Taman Desa following the bunting banner arrows and miss the turning cos someone forgot to print a left arrow banner. Only right arrows were available. Luckily I quickly did a U-turn and manage to drive past a condo which made me smile as it meant the property didn;t have to face the main road. I drove past the guard house and there it stood the showroom. Upon entering the showroom I didn't think much about the project yet and was quickly shown some literature by Henry Butchers sales rep. I didn;t even bother to take a peep at it and I hastily ask what was the going rate for this property. I was told of a figure and I had to get my mobile phone up to do some quick arithmetic. It worked up averaging at RM 420 psf which was a wee little bit high for Taman Desa folks but I like the location.

I was ready to leave without taking a peak at the show unit but was persuaded otherwise. I reluctantly agreed and drag myself up 2 flight of steel structure staircase. As I entered the show unit I my eyes suddenly went wide and I told myself that this wasn;t some cheesy showroom at Taman Desa. This actually was quite tasteful for Taman Desa. I loved how they manage to maximise the space in the Living room and shrink the Kitchen to a practical size. There was some space saving design at the corridor area too. A french name with a hint of British taste was a nice touch to the Interior Design. The wet and dry kitchen was segregated for practical reasons and the maids room and wet area was strategically place.

The master room was spacious so was the 2nd and 3rd room. After studying the layout I then pause to then place my kind of furniture in my mind and it look absolutely fabulous. Then I ask was there another unit on the 2nd floor but was ask to just follow him up there and see for myself. Upon reaching the rooftop I was told that we were actually on the land where the building was to be erected. It had a good landbank and the view was not too shabby, I was told that many of the greenery was to be left intact as part of the bufferzone bylaws which they had to comply to which bode well with the landscape.

To me Le Papillion was a good buy but a tad on the high side. If you factor in the location and its land bank with the cost of rise in construction material, its worth while to buy and stay as it would look beautiful and peaceful but investment purposes your money may not be working as efficiently though I do give a thumb up for this project.

Oh yes and its freehold

KINI menghias kediaman bagaikan terapi yang memberikan seribu kepuasan kepada pemiliknya apatah lagi jika premis disolek kondominium mewah dan eksklusif.

Menginspirasikan konsep penataan serba ringkas dan kemas, kediaman contoh Papillon Desahill Condominium di Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur menzahirkan segalanya.


Reka bentuk binaan yang memberi tumpuan kepada konsep moden penuh dengan nilai seni bina tersendiri cukup membuatkan mata terpukau.

Projek hartanah itu adalah kerjasama antara Peter’s Holdings Sdn Bhd dengan Dana Estet Sebenar CIMB-Mapletree 1 (CMREF 1), sebuah dana estet swasta, yang diuruskan CIMB-Mapletree Management Sdn Bhd.

Menurut Pengarah Urusan Peter’s Holdings, Loke Kwok Seong, kedudukan Papillon Desahill Condominium yang strategik menawarkan nilai modal terbaik dan memberi peluang kepada pemilik kediaman itu menikmati persekitaran eksklusif.

Diperkemaskan lagi dengan ciri eksklusif khususnya ruang binaan selesa, reka bentuk praktikal dan bermutu.

“Penghuni kondominium ini juga berpeluang menikmati kehidupan dan persekitaran ala banglo kerana reka bentuk yang menitikberatkan kesempurnaan dari segi hiasan dalamannya.

“Buktinya, binaan kemasan lantai daripada kayu keras, kemudahan dan ruang mewah dengan siling tinggi, unit penyaman udara dengan kelengkapan bermutu serta jaminan kawalan keselamatan,” katanya.

Bermula dengan latar ruang tamu yang bergaya ringkas tetapi kemas, keindahan penataan ruang menyerlah dengan kemasan jubin menarik.

Pilihan perabot eksklusif, aksesori hiasan dalaman yang unik dan kombinasi cahaya lampu menyuntik suasana ruang dramatik.

Sememangnya dekorasi lengkap ruang makan bersebelahan ruang tamu tidak kurang hebatnya dengan kombinasi set meja makan bergaya mewah.

Ruang makan kelihatan ringkas dan kemas dengan penyerinya dua lukisan simbolik pada bahagian dinding utama.

Sambil meneliti dekorasi ruang tamu dan ruang makan serba indah itu, mata tentunya tidak terlepas pandang sudut balkoni yang membawa pandangan luar kondominium itu.

Persekitaran hijau semula jadi dan jauh dari kesibukan kota antara keistimewaan yang bakal dimiliki setiap pemilik Papillon Desahill Condominium.

Ketika menjenguk idea penataan bilik tidur, permukaan lantai dipasang kemasan kayu berlamina memberikan corak berbeza pada ruang berkenaan.

Pemidang yang menghiasi tingkap menjadi elemen visual ringkas sebagai menapis pandangan terus ke luar kediaman selain membantu suasana tidur lebih selesa.

Tidak ketinggalan pilihan perabot bergaya polos dengan hamparan permaidani berkualiti secara langsung menyamankan suasana sepanjang masa.

Beralih ke bilik tidur si cilik, idea dekorasi yang menyelami jiwa kanak-kanak turut diketengahkan.

Kemasan dinding yang bermotifkan rama-rama dan dunia safari lengkap dengan penataan cahaya ceria cukup merangsang minda.

Binaan kabinet pasang siap sebagai tempat menyimpan anak patung dan barang permainan si cilik.

Pilihan perabot dan kelengkapan tidur selesa serta praktikal menjadi keutamaan dalam usaha menyerlahkan konsep hiasan terbaik selain menitik beratkan keselamatan.

Kehadiran taman kecil di tingkat atas kediaman contoh itu sengaja dibina untuk memberi peluang kepada bakal pemilik Papillon Desahill Condominium meninjau saujana indah panorama Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor.

“Berkeluasan 1.8 hektar, Papillon Desahill Condominium mempunyai nilai pembangunan kasar RM180 juta dan ditawarkan sekitar RM480 sekaki persegi.

“Berstatus pegangan bebas, kondominium berkenaan dibangunkan melalui dua menara mewah 15 tingkat dengan kepadatan rendah dan dijangka siap 2011,” katanya.

Papillon Desahill, Taman Desa

Huge property launches seem to be getting fewer and fewer these days, maybe its a sign of the market satuaration or the impending economic plateau, but i guess it makes us look forward to each one even more.

In recent weeks, Papillon had their soft launch, and we had the opportunity to view it. First the location - it’s situated on a 4.5 acre piece of land in Taman Desa, between the existing double storey link homes and Old Klang Road. Previously, there were 8 old bungalows, and apparently, some of our friends who lived around this area while they were growing up have fond memories of playing in the green area. Well, now, like most green areas we hold in our memories, they’re going to turn it into a luxury condo.

Driving around Taman Desa, it’s a pretty developed area with a good mix of office buildings, commercial area, and landed homes which currently fetch good returns for the owners in terms of both rentals and resale value (a friend of ours just bought a unit there). Most of the new condos are situated along Old Klang Road (Jalan Kelang Lama) like Saville Residence, so Papillon has the distinction of being one of the few luxury condos in this vicinity.


http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/2483259348_5918b7e5e8.jpg

The land is sizable to build a large condominium, but they’ve opted for a better configuration of medium rise low density. The land is located on a slope facing KL, so perhaps that, too, played a part in deciding the density of the project. At the show gallery, which is situated right in the middle of the project site, they’ve a viewing deck on the roof for you to appreciate the view. We managed to snap some photos while we were there:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2374/2494096859_2cddce5333_o.jpg

There are two similar blocks, both enclosing the common facilities at the podium level. Each level has 8 units, arrange in 4 pairs of semi-D like layout. We definitely can see the merits of this design - they’ve taken full advantage of the space available so that each unit has only one neighbour, so thereby maximizing the window space and giving each unit more privacy.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3202/2494097107_502bcf4f86_o.jpg

There are only 3 main types of unit designs available, the standard unit 1,712sq.ft. and 1,784sq.ft. (the latter is about one foot wider in total width) and then there is the smaller (but apparently popular) unit at 1,322sq.ft. and the largest at 2,059sq.ft. It should be noted that all the units have pretty much the same design, the difference is derived mainly from the unit total width. Units come with 2+1, 3+1 or 4+1 rooms, and all rooms have ensuite bathrooms for an added convenience.

As for facilities, they have the usual swimming pool, gymnasium, playground, three tier security, etc.

Price is stiff to say the least. Cheapest unit cost almost RM490,ooo, and the dearest comes close to RM1.8mil. The price per square foot is about RM370psf for the units facing PJ, and for the KL view, you are stumping about RM420psf. It is about the price of Mont’Kiara condos. But the difference here is that there are no smaller or studio units, the smallest unit, as mentioned earlier is at a rather large 1,322sq.ft., hence pumping up the minimum entry price. For the standard 1712 unit at a low level, you’ll be paying an average of about RM800k for the unit.

There are a few reasons that we can identify why the developers feel the pricing is justified. Firstly, its the location and the view. There aren’t any condos of this stature around here, and its situated away from the perpetually busy Old Klang Road. Secondly, the price of real estate, especially the landed homes around here are sky high, almost double to triple of what you’d pay for a condo here. For more than that, this piece of land is also freehold, giving that slight edge over those projects below that are on leasehold land.

We admit that we were quite impressed with the project, but a reality check settled in when we had to do a double take when we saw the price. But we’re thinking the location alone will carry the sales of the project, and also the low density factor of the development (only 225 units) helps a lot.

The project is jointly developed by TNB and Zeus, a subsidiary of Peter’s Group. This is the latter first major project, while TNB has a few high profile projects underway in the city.

PAPILLON Desahill Condominium
Connectivity redefined...

Perched on top of a private enclave in the established neighbourhood of Taman Desa KL, Papillon Desahill Condominium offers an exclusive sanctuary to those aspiring to disconnect from the city's hustle and bustle.
