Mah Sing new project in setapak

By the Star
Mah Sing Properties Sdn Bhd is set to launch its latest commercial project, StarParc Point, in three months following good response from a project preview last week, said deputy chief operating officer Andy Chua.

“Whatever factors a good commercial development should have, we have it here at StarParc Point. What’s more, most of the land around that area is leasehold except for our land.

“We expect to sell off the project this year,” he told StarBiz in an interview yesterday.

The RM118mil StarParc Point is an integrated business hub in Setapak consisting of three-storey shop offices and six-storey retail-cum-office suites on five acres of freehold land. Besides fronting Jalan Genting Klang where there is heavy foot traffic, the project offers over 8% rental yield potential, interesting architectural design and a weather-controlled outdoor yard.

The office suites are priced from RM295,000 or about RM200 per sq ft, while the three-storey shop offices are selling for about RM2.3mil or RM400 per sq ft. The retail unit costs about RM1.3mil each.

Chua said the pricing for the development was “reasonable” in view of the similar prices fetched by surrounding leasehold properties.

He added that the group was working with banks to provide buyers up to 85% financing.
