Bandar Raya talking with parties to acquire 200ha in Klang Valley

By NURYUSHIDA LAILY YUSOF

HIGH-end property developer Bandar Raya Developments Bhd (BRD) is talking to several parties to acquire up to 200ha in the Klang Valley, chairman Datuk Mohamed Moiz J.M. Ali Moiz said.

The new landbank will be used to develop mid- to high-end properties.

?We are definitely looking for more landbank of between 120ha and 200ha in the Klang Valley. We are discussing with a number of parties,? Mohamed Moiz told reporters after the firm?s annual general meeting in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

BRD currently has a landbank of 283ha. The group is well-known for its high-end property development projects in Bangsar, but it is now moving more into the Kuala Lumpur city centre.

One of its main projects downtown is the high-end residential- cum-commercial development on 0.8ha in Jalan Binjai, near Hotel Nikko, which will have a gross development value (GDV) of RM400 million over the next two years, Mohamed Moiz said.

BRD plans to launch the project in the last quarter of this year, along with another residential project near Mont Kiara that has a GDV of RM120 million for its first phase.

In addition, the group?s RM1 billion Capital Square mixed development in Kuala Lumpur is expected to be launched this August.

Elsewhere, it plans to launch shophouses in Permas Jaya, Johor, in the next few months.

The company will also start work on a joint property development project in Lahore, Pakistan, by the final quarter of this year, Mohamed Moiz said.

BRD chief executive officer Datuk Jagan Sabapathy said that the group is expecting equal contributions from its property and manufacturing arms this year.

For next year, however, the property division is expected to contribute 60 per cent towards the group?s profit.

Its manufacturing subsidiary Mieco Chipboard Bhd will have a higher production capacity of 940,000 cu m a year, from 300,000 cu m currently, upon completion of its new plant in Kuala Lipis, Pahang.

The RM300 million facility is expected to be ready by December and to be operational by January next year.

Hmm...still got empty slot ke alongside Jalan Binjai

baqthier · June 24th, 2004, 05:50 AM

Jalan Binjai - the area around Lorong Kuda is it?

ZaHiRnYa??? · June 24th, 2004, 05:53 AM

nearby that area i assume since KLCC condominium is also known as "THE BINJAI"

baqthier · June 24th, 2004, 06:00 AM

So it's same road with PNB Darby Park..that area still got space...maybe the car park behind Menara PNB?

Or maybe they are going to demolish the bungalow beside Nikko?

ZaHiRnYa??? · June 24th, 2004, 06:04 AM

Isn't the carpark behind PNB already part of KLCC area

I think most probably the bungalow la.

baqthier · June 24th, 2004, 06:10 AM

If it's the bungalow, then it's damn good! Just beside the subway exit! And will provide a corner view of Jalan Ampang. 400million development is sure a rather tall one..probably 30+ storeys

ZaHiRnYa??? · June 24th, 2004, 06:17 AM

I thought there are people who still live in that bungalow...

Not really. Sometimes emotions and sentimental values runs deep. I do personally know people who own expensive land near KLCC whom we're offered millions but were turned down. Sometimes it is just not money that talks .....there are many reasons behind every decision made

http://www.star-space.com/stories/st...07/05/br050704 Bandar Raya recently launched the RM1.2bil CapSquare project, on a stretch bordered by Jalan Munshi Abdullah, Jalan Dang Wangi, and Jalan Ampang.

The CapSquare project is a mix of commercial, retail and residential properties anchored by a 300m retail boulevard. The concept was developed in collaboration with renowned retail consultant Sudhakar Thakurdesai, who had worked on projects like the Raffles City Shopping Centre in Singapore, Orlando Marriot World Trade Centre in Florida, and Darling Harbour in Sydney.

Another upmarket project to be launched this year is a condominium block in Jalan Binjai, Kuala Lumpur, where the concept and design is being handled by Lord Norman Foster, a famous British architect.

This is from The Edge Daily paper: This project will be big!!

Mohamed said besides the RM1.2 billion Capital Square, another major undertaking was a residential-cum-commercial development project with a gross development value (GDV) of RM400 million in Jalan Binjai, Kuala Lumpur.

He said the project would be launched in the fourth quarter. The company was “very excited” about the project, which is located a short distance away from KL City Centre’s Petronas twin towers, he added.

“We believe it will take the market by storm,” Mohamed said.

Wow, the guy who designed the amazing HSBC Building in Hongkong is designing something here in good ol' KayEll!

Wonder how will that condo look like, eh?

Btw, Norman has become a lord? Wah, and all this while i thought he was still a Sir...

baqthier · July 10th, 2004, 05:32 AM

WOW! Norman Foster??? I can't wait for the rendering! It would look either steely or glassy then. I would love other well known architects to participate around this area

baqthier · July 24th, 2004, 06:17 AM
