Plans to build massive WATERFRONT CITY near Putrajaya

Plans to build massive waterfront city near Putrajaya




BEIJING: A massive canal city with a self-contained township comprising residential, commercial and tourism development with interconnected canal waterways will be built in Selangor.

The RM3bil project is being undertaken by Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd, the investment arm of the state government, and Kumpulan Europlus Bhd via Canal City Construction Sdn Bhd.

The proposed canal city would cover about 5,400 acres of land to be developed into a waterfront city.


The company has secured the participation of the Shimao Group, through the purchase of about 1,300 acres of land, within the Canal City project, which is located near Putrajaya.

The Shanghai-based Shimao Group, which is one of China’s leading property developers, undertook the signing of the sales and purchase agreement here in conjunction with the visit of Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Deputy chairman Tan Sri Chan Ah Chye signed on behalf of the Malaysian group with Mr Hui Wing Mau, the chairman of the Shimao Group.

One of the Shimao Group’s projects is the Shimao Rivera Garden, where a total of RM3.6bil was channelled into investments to build a series of high-rise luxurious residential towers overlooking the Huangpu River in Shanghai.

The project was ranked No. 1 in the Shanghai property market for the year 2001 and 2002.

According to a press release, through the partnership, Shimao Group would invest about RM450mil in the purchase of land.

The sale of the land and development of the project would be used to finance the construction of two infrastructure projects.

They are the construction of the network of canals connecting the Klang River to the Kuala Langat River as part of a flood mitigation scheme in Selangor.

“A by-product of this construction project is the creation of a canal city occupying an area of about 5,400 acres,” it said.

It would finance the Shah Alam 2 Expressway connecting Shah Alam to Berjuntai Bistari, to be renamed Shah Alam 2.

“The 40km toll-free expressway will reduce travelling time from Shah Alam to Shah Alam 2 to about 23 minutes,” it added.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian government is mulling potential partnerships with major real estate developers to develop land parcels within Putrajaya in a bid to stimulate economic activity within the administrative capital.

One such possible joint venture is between IOI Properties and Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd to develop land within the centre of Putrajaya.

According to sources, the government is also expected to set up special economic zones (SEZ) around adjoining areas such as Cyberjaya and IOI Properties Bhd's upcoming mixed development north of Putrajaya.

The proposed SEZ will offer various incentives such as tax breaks, looser policies and more relaxed employment conditions as well as connectivity to the area via the Maju expressway or South Klang Valley Expressway and an electric rail line to Putrajaya.

These plans are aimed at boosting the capital's vitality, image and connectivity to transform it into a capital of international renown as envisaged in the Greater KL Plan under the National Key Economic Areas (NKEA).

IOI Properties' has a RM2 billion proposed mixed development on the outskirts of Putajaya encompassing a shopping mall, a hotel, an international-class golf course, two green buildings and residential developments. It is believed that IOI has requested for its project to be designated a SEZ.

Apart from stimulating economic activity, other measures include enhancing Putrajaya's main boulevard and its natural lakes, improving its internal and external connectivity as well as making full use of the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC).

These measures are aimed at encouraging and accomodating more food and beverage (F&B) outlets, street vendors and other retailers as well as street performances around the boulevard, lakes and PICC.

Also planned is a university dedicated to political science, which is expected to cater to students from developing nations.

Meanwhile, plans to improve internal and external connectivity will include a monorail service covering Putrajaya, Cyberyaja, Serdang, Bangi and Kajang.
