Sunway plans new property jobs in Penang

Property News/ 3 February 2014 Leave a comment

More soon: Tan shows a scale model of Sunway Wellesley Phase 1.The company will begin the RM150mil second phase of the project end of this month.

Sunway Bhd plans to develop a RM450mil high-rise residential property project and a RM1.05bil shopping mall over the next two years on 9.82ha in Paya Terubong which it acquired recently.

Group senior general manager Tan Hun Beng told StarBiz that the residential project would likely begin next year, while the shopping mall, in 2016.

“We are now drawing up plans for the two projects.

“We have yet to fix the selling price for the condominiums but the pricing will be very competitive,” he said, adding that residential high-rise properties in Paya Terubong were already selling at around RM600 to RM700 per sq ft.

Tan said the mall would have a built-up area of about 1.4 million sq ft, which was larger than the Sunway Carnival Mall in Seberang Jaya in Seberang Prai.

“There is a need for a shopping mall in Paya Terubong as the population in the area is growing.

“We are planning a tenant-controlled mall, which will be leased out,” he said.

Sunway purchased the four parcels of land totalling 24.46 acres (9.82ha) for RM267.4mil or RM251 per sq ft.

Tan said the four parcels were close to the Kek Lok Si Temple and the lower train station to the Penang Hill Resort.

“The acquisition of the land in Penang, a rapidly growing state, is in line with Sunway’s business plan to expand its landbank profile.

“The state’s sound economic health and the strategic location of the land should give the projects a positive boost when they are launched.

“The selling price of residential properties are likely to go up further in view of the rising cost of raw materials,” Tan said.

For 2014, Sunway planned to launch some RM290mil worth of residential and commercial projects on the island and in Seberang Prai.

“We will kick off with the RM150mil second phase of Sunway Wellesley, a mixed-development project in Bukit Mertajam, at the end of this month.”

The third phase, costing RM60mil, comprising resort condominiums, will kick off in October 2014.

“On the island, we will launch the RM80mil third phase of Sunway Cassia comprising double-storey semi-detached and three-storey terraced houses, in Batu Maung in June 2014,” he said.

    “adding that residential high-rise properties in Paya Terubong WERE ALREADY selling at around RM600 to RM700 per sq ft.”

    600-700PSF in that area? halo…..wake up pls… bayan baru / sg Ara area only selling for 500-550PSF now……Paya Terubong is no way closer than 550PSF……450-550PSF perhaps is current trend now….

    I think 600 to 700 psf is too expensive at that area. Try to think if they build a 1200 sf then it be RM800K.

    That’s why, if you come across anything that’s located in a good location at RM500/sqft, better buy fast, it will run out very soon….:)

    @Lim.

    @Lim

    Not the subsale as well… if we include the legal fees for S&P and Loan, and some more agent fees…. for a property valued of500k, these 3 things will at least cost you another 20k (cold hard cash)

    A lot of project just launch in sg ara just RM500 psf. The urban suite just launch in Jelutong also RM500 psf. And a lot of subsale also around 500 psf. U can try to research. I think still a lot around that price.

    Summerton at prime location is around RM500 psft. You may consider.

    Thanks @Lim

    I did consider Urban before… the problem is it takes 5 years for construction (exp completion at 2018) and the maintenance is 35-40 cents psf. Consider very expensive.

    However, 500psf is the cheapest rate in the current market, for the non-LC/LMC projects… at least as what i understand now… correct me if i am wrong.
