SP Setia expects sales to jump 50pc in 2008

The sales jump will come from four new property launches and existing projects in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor, with the start of new phases next year


SP Setia Bhd, Malaysia's valuable property developer, expects sales to jump 50 per cent to RM1.8 billion in fiscal 2008 as it launches four new projects, its top official said.


Group managing director and chief executive officer Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin said growth would also come from existing projects in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Johor, with the launch of new phases next year.


"We are very confident we can do it as the Malaysian economy is right. The growth will also be accelerated by the low interest rate regime and EPF withdrawal scheme," Liew told reporters after announcing the group's full year results in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.


New projects slated for launch next year are Setia Sky Residences, its maiden luxury condominium project in Kuala Lumpur, and Duta Grande, Kenny Hills, comprising 15 luxury bungalows priced at RM30 million each. These will be marketed to rich tycoons in Singapore, Hong Kong, the Middle East and Malaysia.

It will also launch Setia Eco Gardens in Johor Baru, Setia Eco Villas in Cyberjaya and EcoLakes in Vietnam.


EcoLakes, SP Setia's maiden development outside Malaysia, will be launched in March 2008.


"Sales from EcoLakes would roll next year but it would only contribute to group revenue from 2009," Liew said.


SP Setia has 16 on-going projects with a combined gross development value of RM30 billion.


Its total undeveloped landbank stands at 1,959ha inclusive of 223ha in Vietnam.


The company has also been invited to expand in Libya, China and India but it wants to establish itself in Vietnam first.


SP Setia, which has a market value of some RM5 billion currently, reported a 9.2 per cent increase in 2007 net profit.


It made a net profit of RM260 million for the 12 months ended October 31 2007. Revenue was flat at RM1.15 billion.


He said SP Setia plans to launch its first integrated development project in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, on a joint venture with one of Sabah's state authority.


"We have narrowed in on a piece of landbank located near the city area. We are negotiating currently. We hope to launch it at the end of our next financial year (Oct 2009)," Liew said.

CIMB launches property mart

CIMB Group's Special Asset Management (GSAM) division has launched CIMB Property Mart, a showroom for properties to be sold by the group nationwide.

The property gallery, the first to be set up by a bank in Malaysia, allows the public to browse the properties on sale, learn about the auction process and obtain financing, all in one place.

Group chief executive officer Datuk Nazir Razak said there are about RM600 million worth of properties and land up for sale throughout the country by both CIMB Bank and CIMB Islamic.


We hope to raise the profile of auction properties

"By setting up the CIMB Property Mart as an alternative sales channel, we hope to raise the profile of auction properties," he said in a statement.

He said staff will be on hand at the property gallery to answer questions on the properties, the auction process as well as the financing packages.

"In future, we hope to leverage on the group's regional presence and use CIMB Property Mart to attract foreign property investors into the Malaysian property market," Nazir said.

The properties up for sale mainly comprise apartments, landed properties, development land and shop lots located nationwide, with the majority of them in Selangor, Wilayah Persekutuan, Negri Sembilan and Johor.

SunCity To Launch RM900 Mln Property Projects In Next Six Mths


PETALING JAYA, Dec 13 (Bernama) -- Sunway City Bhd (SunCity), the Sunway group's property arm, will launch RM900 million worth of property projects over the next six months, managing director for property development Ngian Siew Siong said Thursday.

He said these include an integrated development project called SunCity KL, Sunway South Quay (lakeside lifestyle development), Sunway Palazzio (luxury condominiums) and Taman Duta (an exclusive bungalow development).

"For the current financial year ending June 30, 2008, we are launching a total RM1.9 billion worth of projects. To date we have already launched RM1 billion worth and the balance RM900 million will be launched over the next six months," he told reporters after the company's annual general meeting here.

Ngian said the company aims to achieve RM1.35 billion in sales for financial year 2008 and the company has already recorded RM338 million sales in the first quarter ended September 30.

"For the following quarters, we expect to sustain the sales value that we achieved in the first quarter," he added.

For the financial year ended June 30, 2007, SunCity posted a higher revenue of RM1.14 billion compared with RM1 billion previously.

Its net profit went up 15 percent to RM147 million from RM128 million previously.

The company's total undeveloped landbank stands at 3,300 acres with a gross development value of RM13.5 billion.

On the company's overseas expansion plans, he said SunCity is negotiating with parties in India to develop condominium projects in Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, SunCity managing director for property investment Ngeow Voon Yean said the company plans to float its planned over RM3 billion real estate investment trust (REIT), the country's largest REIT, in the second half of next year.

He said the company is in the midst of appointing an investment banker for this.

[/QUOTE]

Good question lah. As for a building, to me Pavilion Mall is the winner.
Not so many highrises completed this year. Many have just started construction or are still under construction. The best ones only just launched. Completed in 2007 I like 2Hampshire or Marc. Next year I probably go for K-Residences, One KL or Cendana.

[Greg]

It's actually quiet good.

Malaysia's First State-of-the-Art Modern-Tropical University Campus

In response to the ever-pressing need for knowledgeable human capital, Taylor's University College is building a state-of-the-art modern tropical university campus to meet the need of students and in line with the nation's goal of becoming a regional center of education excellence.



The commencement of work for RM450 million Taylor's Lakeside Campus in early 2007 is indeed an exciting phase in Taylor's 38-year-old history and underscores its continued commitment to self-development. It marks another milestone in Taylor's history where great strides have been made since 1969.

The Lakeside Campus will house all existing tertiary programmes, currently located at Taylor's various campuses in Subang Jaya and Petaling Jaya. Set on 27 acres of tropical greenery near Jalan PJS 7/5, the campus will be surrounded by a revived 5.5 acre man-made lake, as well as a landscape of water plants, trees and flowering shrubs and groundcover which will provide a rich and stimulating natural environment in the neighbourhood.

The completion of Taylor's Lakeside Campus is another step forward towards realising Taylor's mission to become a university of 20,000 students renowned for its teaching excellence and the distinctive quality of its graduate.


A Quick Tour of Taylor's lakeside Campus

A warm sense of arrival will be your first impression as the tree-lined University Drive leads you towards the grand Main Entrance. Turn at the Entrance Oval and Roundabout, and catch your first glimpse of the lake.

Pass the Retail Podium where inter-connecting streets lead to shops, cafes, banks, convenience stores and an array of service amenities. Next is a fully furnished 1,000-bed Hostel, neighbouring F&B outlets that face out to the lake and a boardwalk.



From the Main Drop-off down the Grand Staircase, proceed to the University Square and Amphitheatre. This popular and important gathering area will be flanked by the Hostel and Commercial Block on the west, Administration Offices, Student Union and a Multi-Purpose Hall on the north, Academic Blocks on the east and the lake on the south.

Plays, recitals and other performances will be staged at the ‘Art Precinct', formed by the Experimental Theatre, the 600-pax Auditorium, 300-pax Lecture Theatre and the outdoor Amphitheatre. The pride of the campus will undeniably be the Library, a splendid 4-storey glass edifice that warrants panoramic views of the lake.



Sheltered, landscaped promenades will provide easy access to scores of world-class facilities. Restaurants and kitchens for the Hospitality and Tourism Faculty. Fully equipped Laboratories for advancing skills and knowledge in Science, Computer, Audio and Video, Engineering, Architecture and Design. A Moot Court for making a case.

The beautiful new Taylor's Lakeside Campus will provide all the right conditions for a vibrant exchange between academic, commercial, social and leisure activities. More than just a home to new student population, it will be the nurturing ground for an energetic and dynamic new community.

Taylor's Lakeside Campus will be the vehicle for Taylor's to further enhance the delivery of its purpose, which is to educate the youth of the world to take their productive place as leaders in the global community.

Opening in 2009
