KUALA LUMPUR (May 14): Ehsan Bina Group, founded in 1989 by Lai Choon Kong, is a reputable construction company with a strong order book of RM400 million today. For decades, the company has been focusing heavily on construction, with only a handful of property development projects launched. In June, Ehsan Bina will launch the second phase of its single largest development — ForestHill — which also marks a significant change in its management: the passing of the baton from Choon Kong to his daughters, Jamie and Adelynn.  

"The company is going through a transitional period of business restrategising. We hope [ForestHill Residences] will help us achieve another high in the [property development] business, as well as shout our name in the property development industry," Jamie tells City & Country in an exclusive interview.

ForestHill Residences offers 618 condominium units in two towers — Tower A (38 storeys) and Tower B (35 storeys). Built-ups range from 953 to 1,527 sq ft with a minimum of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. At least two car parking bays are included. Selling prices start from RM580 psf.
