Mah Sing Group Bhd is bringing forward to the next two to three months the launch of its bungalows for the RM1.35bil Southbay Penang mixed development project in Batu Maung.
The 76 bungalows, with an estimated gross sales value of RM200mil, were originally targeted for launch at year-end, chief operating officer Ng Heng Phai told StarBizWeek.
However, having sold 150 or about 75% of the first batch of 200 three-storey link houses in the first week of launch last month, Mah Sing decided to introduce the bungalows earlier, he said.
The units are priced from RM795,000 and sales have since reached 85% for the phase which has an estimated gross sales value of RM200mil.
“We expect the value of the link houses to appreciate by 15% before year-end,” Ng said.
With built-up areas ranging between 5,000 and 8,000 sq ft, the bungalows will be priced around RM3mil each.
“The bungalow project, known as Legenda, is a guarded and gated scheme on a 27.8-acre site,” Ng said.
Ng said the group was preparing to launch the RM900mil commercial component, Southbay City, on a 34.5-acre site at year-end.
“We plan to develop sea-fronting retail outlets. The commercial component will increase the value of the residential properties in the project,” he said.
Ng said the group was working with agents to market Southbay Penang overseas.
To be developed over five to seven years, Southbay Penang is Mah Sing’s biggest project to date.
“Our projects in the country have a gross sales value of about RM3.8bil, of which RM1.35bil will come from the Southbay Penang project,” Ng said.
“The projects in the Klang Valley and Johor Baru will contribute about RM1.6bil and RM800mil respectively,” he added.
“The bulk of Southbay Penang’s contribution should come in when we launch Southbay City,” he said. - The Star
