SP Setia Group to Enhance KK’s Status
K
ota Kinabalu is
experiencing dynamic
growth in its economy,
tourism and real estate market.
And SP Setia Bhd Group who
recently held their Chinese New
Year celebration at their sales
gallery in KK Times Square is
set for 2014. The Group will
enhance its status with the
60-acre Aeropod, the city’s
first integrated transport hub
development.
Stategicially located directly
opposite Terminal One of the
Kota Kinabalu International
Airport (KKIA), Aeropod will be
the new home of the existing
Tanjung Aru railway station,
which is part of the 134km
Tenom-Tanjung Aru line
formerly known as the North
Borneo Railway and is the
only operational rail transport
system in Sabah. SP Setia will
modernize and redevelop the
train station, which covers
about 18 acres, and as he city’s
new transport hub, Aeropod
will be similar to KL Sentral is
some ways.
Business development senior
manager Alex Loh said,
“We hold a long-term goal
everywhere we go and we
will be cautiously looking at
the opportunities open to us
because the real estate sector
will be challenging this year. But
we are excited that the number
of tourist arrivals is very
significant,” he said adding that
Sabah’s growth is coming from
multiple dimensions, including
the robust oil and gas sector.
According to project planning
and development senior
manager Timothy Lim, “The first
phase is to do the train station
while the second phase is the
commercial part of it. Very soon
you will see the superstructure
coming up and we hope to
finish off within two years
according to schedule. We will
also be constructing a flyover at
our own cost which starts from
KKIA all the way to Kepayan.”
Launched in February 2012,
Aeropod will take10 years to
construct and upon completion
will include two hotels, 1,500
to 2,000 residential units and
140,00 sq ft of retail space.
The urban pad will also include
retail offices, corporate offices,
a shopping mall with food and
beverage, and entertainment
outlets, plus SOVO units.
Construction of boutique retail
offices are currently in progress
and due for completion in
2015.
