/// Feature Property Event Chang Cheng Realty Ushers in the Year of the Horse T he property market in the Year of the Horse is estimated to be on ‘wait-and-hold’ in the first quarter. And managing director of Chang Cheng Realty (who is also the head of the SHAREDA Youth Council) Tee Hong Wee believes that the market will bounce back in the second half of the year. He said, “Although there are a lot of uncertainties, life goes on. We (at Chang Cheng) are not in the position to just wait and see what happens. We still cater to the public and change our design to the needs of the people.” He adds: “The government needs to clarify a lot of things so that investors will come back and have the confidence in our property market. A lot of things are uncertain especially the GST, RPGT and cutting down of bank loans. Opportunity needs to be provided to genuine buyers.” In March, Chang Cheng will be launching the Eco Park and they will have another three projects lined up in Labuan this year. The developer will also launch their C 56 www.PropertyHunter.com.my Park SOHO targeting at a maximum of RM400,000 for a 900 square feet unit. According to Tee, “We will be more selective this year and we will be focusing on mid range residential. The market between the RM300,000 to RM400,000 range will be the gold mine as people won’t be so keen on high end residential. However, the demand for commercial units and industrial lots will remain good.” He concludes: “We would like to wish everyone great health and happiness this year especially in times of uncertainty.” The developer recently held an Open House at their sales gallery in KK Times Square to usher in the new year. /// FEATURE PROPERTY EVENT
