Mah Sing enters Sabah market

Thursday, March 29, 2012

Mah Sing Group Bhd will enter the Sabah property market with a mixed development, Sutera Avenue, with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM830 million over 3.50 hectares.

The land is located in a prime commercial site along the Coastal Highway in Kota Kinabalu’s Central Business District(CBD).

Group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum said:" We are keen to enter the Sabah market due to the vibrancy of its economy, which has benefited from the wealth of natural resources including oil palm, timber and oil and gas.

"Tourist trade is strong and provides a large market catchment, coupled with the domestic population base," he said in a statement today.
Mah Sing said based on preliminary plans, it intends to offer multi-storey shop offices fronting the Coastal Highway and complemented by street mall retail lots and serviced apartments for the first phase of 1.72 hectares.

This is Mah Sing's second land deal in as many months, as the developer has a landbanking target of acquiring new projects, with potential GDV of RM5 billion this year.

Mah Singh said with the acquisition of Sutera Avenue, the group’s landbank now stands at 496.14 hectares with remaining GDV and unbilled sales worth an estimated RM16.27 billion, giving the Group strong earnings visibility for the next five-seven years.

Leong said the company will develop Sutera Avenue over five years, and intends to commence registration of interest by the second half of this year, as early as the third quarter. -- BERNAMA

  1. that's mean the main attraction for investors to invest in this state is the wealth of natural resources including oil palm, timber, oil and gas, and also the number of tourists arrival every year..

    hopefully more investors will attracted by our natural resources and potential market in the near future. but I would like to urge the government to not only focused on west coast of Sabah but in east coast as well in order to balance economic development in both areas..

  8. "Tourist trade is strong and provides a large market catchment, coupled with the domestic population base,"

    Industri pelancongan akan menjadi salah satu sumber pendapatan yang amat penting juga.
