is a 58-acre integrated
city development
strategically located
at the Kerinchi-Pantai
Dalam corridor and is
easily accessible via Jalan
Kerinchi from the Federal
Highway.
Scheduled to be
launched in June 2014,
Pantai Sentral Park is a
mixed commercial and
residential development,
with a gross development
value (GDV) of RM5.6bil.
The entire concept is
designed to blend in
seamlessly with the lush
green surroundings of a
200-acre forest known
as Bukit Kerinchi with
provisions for a linear
forest walk and green
connector located
between the residential
and commercial parcels
with ample space for the
community to engage in
healthy activities.
The upcoming launch
is the first parcel of 211
residences with home
sizes ranging from 1,140
to 1,975 sq ft which is
now open for registration.
Spanning 3,800 acres,
Seremban 2 is a selfcontained township in
Negri Sembilan offering
modern amenities and
convenience of a city
while maintaining the
grace and serenity of a
country atmosphere. To
date, Seremban 2 has
emerged as one of the
most progressive and
successful developments
in Negri Sembilan and is
now home to more than
60,000 residents
When deciding on where
to make your next property
investment, the first question
that comes into mind is
location. If you already have
one or two investments in
the city or state that you
live in, the next step would
be to purchase property
somewhere else where you
feel the appreciate is faster.
A lot of property investors
are showing interest in
investing in either Penang or
Johor.
Penang is a small island,
(smaller than Singapore) and
Iskandar is twice the size
of Singapore. Technically,
this shows that price
appreciation in Penang seem
much higher, especially now
that there are 10 flights
or more daily between
Penang and Singapore,
connecting both places
as close as Singaporean
taking a MRT ride from one
end to the other in terms
of time. Property prices
in Penang will continue to
increase due to scarcity of
land and both prime areas
and not so popular areas
are appreciating in price.
There is less land to build on
in Penang as compared to
Singapore because Penang
is not a flat piece of land
and it has a Forest Reserve
National Park within the
island.
