KUALA LUMPUR (July 19): While the commercial landscape in Puncak Alam is at the early stage of maturation and is largely shaped by residential-led growth across the wider northwest Shah Alam corridor, there is potential for more diversified offerings as the population grows and connectivity improves. Knight Frank Malaysia executive director of research and consultancy Amy Wong said Puncak Alam has good potential to evolve into a more self-sustaining commercial hub, with room for rental yield and price appreciation to improve.
Agreeing with her, Savills Malaysia group managing director Datuk Paul Khong said with the area’s continued growth in both population and industrial and commercial activities, the area is becoming more developed and liveable, providing strong support to the growth of the commercial property segment now and in the future.
Meanwhile, Perdana ParkCity Sdn Bhd (ParkCity Group) is rolling out Le Parc Place, the largest residential project in ParkCity Hanoi — the group’s township development in Vietnam. The project comprises 802 units across four towers of up to 35 storeys. Unit sizes are ranging from 107.6 to 516.8 sq m with an indicative price of about US$4,200 (about RM17,123) per sq m.
Meanwhile, we take a look into the commercial hub in Jalan Telawi, Bangsar, which comprises 164 shoplots with a standard lot size of 24ft by 75ft and built-up of about 3,400 to 4,500 sq ft. Consultants believe that the hub will continue to maintain its strong appeal, with demand for its shops remaining resilient.
