FEATURED PROPERTY SHOWCASE | The Hap Seng Chronicle
THE JOURNEY WEST
Tan Sri Lau Cho Kun, co-founder and
nephew of the late Tan Sri Lau Gek
Poh, who took over the chairmanship
of Hap Seng Consolidated Bhd,
shared the same passion for growth
and innovation as his predecessor.
Under his visionary and dynamic
leadership, the Group soared to
greater heights of achievement. He
was instrumental in the expansion of
the property development division to
become the second highest revenue
generator within the group.
In 2004, it acquired the strategically
located 22-storey MUI Plaza in the
Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur and
refurbished to give it a face-lift and
new contemporary look in 2007. It
was renamed Menara Hap Seng to
reflect its ownership and went on
to win the FIABCI Malaysia Property
Award 2009 for Office Development.In
2009, Hap Seng Properties launched
the first phase of its Build-Then-Sell
mixed residential development called
D’Alpinia on a 30.88-hectare land in
Puchong, Selangor.
The development projects in Sabah
had proven to be the catalyst needed
for growth in the years following the
timber and oil palm boom and at the
turn of the new century, Hap Seng
Properties began to venture into new
territory with development projects
in Peninsular Malaysia. They would be
the first Sabah property developer to
achieve this milestone.
Its interest in the property sector
in Peninsular Malaysia continues
to grow with developments such
as Nadi Bangsar and The Horizon
Residences located opposite the Tun
Razak Exchange in Kuala Lumpur with
its third high-rise residential project,
currently known as JTR 2 also located
at Jalan Tun Razak.
Menara Hap Seng, Kota Kinabalu
THE HOME GROUND ADVANTAGE
From its early entry into the Kota Kinabalu
property market in the 1990s with Taman
Ria, Taman Friendship Garden, Taman
Aman and Kingfisher Sulaman, Hap Seng
Properties has given the residents of Kota
Kinabalu the opportunity to invest in a
variety of housing options. It is now set
to make another grand entrance with its
residential development, Kingfisher Putatan
and Kingfisher Inanam, and the much
anticipated Menara Hap Seng, the first
Grade-A office tower with green building
certification in the city centre.
It has taken Hap Seng Properties decades
of consistent and steady progress to
establish its excellent track record of
building affordable high quality houses,
which are well planned and attractively
designed to provide ideal living spaces.
Its new high-end developments in Kota
Kinabalu will now chart a new course for
Hap Seng Properties to journey forth and
set an even higher standard of excellence
for others to emulate. The dawn of its
expansion in Kota Kinabalu has just started
and the city will soon be waking up to a
whole new world of possibilities.
The property division of Hap Seng Group
has truly come into its own as a force to
be reckoned with. It is the second highest
performing division in terms of revenue
and is on track to carry on the legacy of Lau
Gek Poh of never giving up on your dreams
and to strive towards a better future for
yourself, your family and your countryman.
Kingfisher Sulaman
Hap Seng Properties has grown into a
household name trusted by many to
deliver on its promise of quality and value.
It transcends geographical and cultural
boundaries to become a truly Malaysian
company that embraces the real meaning
of community, unity and teamwork.
It is a proud heritage and a legacy that will
live on well into the new millennium.
