Dijaya Tropicana development almost at tail end

DIJAYA Corp Bhd's development at the 250ha Tropicana Golf & Country Resort in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, is almost reaching the tail end, with the scheduled December launch of the RM745 million Tropicana Grande and Tropicana Avenue project.

The two are are among the final three or four developments left in Tropicana.


According to managing director Datuk Tong Kien Onn, there is only 3 per cent or 7.5ha of land to develop in Tropicana. Tropicana Grande and Tropicana Avenue will use 2.08ha and 2.3ha each.

The remaining land will be used to construct purpose-built office towers for investors, Tong told Business Times in an interview in Petaling Jaya.
Tong said Tropicana Grande is the last residential development in Tropicana and he is expecting brisk sales at the launch as it has ready buyers.

Tropicana Grande will featuring four crystalline blocks. It will offer 300 units, priced from RM600 per sq ft, Tong said.

"We are optimistic of sales. The market is improving and there is demand for properties overlooking a golf course. Our pricing is less than half of what is being offered at the KLCC area," Tong said.

Dijaya is targeting existing Tropicana home buyers, and investors from Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan.

To accelerate sales from foreigner property buyers, Dijaya will launch Tropicana Grande in Singapore in December, Tong said.

Tropicana Avenue, a lifestyle commercial development, will comprise three blocks of nine and 11 storey offices, worth RM205 million.

There will be 359 shop offices and 38 loft offices parked in seven to nine floors, that will seat on top of 50 retail lots in two floors.

"At the moment, we are looking to lease the retail units to control the mix so we can create a lifestyle for our buyers. We will be selling the office suites at RM350 per sq ft," Tong said.

Tong said he expects Dijaya to surpass its 2009 revenue target of RM260 million this year, attributed by sales from the new properties.

Over the past seven months, Dijaya has achieved RM215 million in sales, or 70 per cent of its target.

For the financial year ended December 31 2008, Dijaya posted RM244 million in sales.
