In unveiling the location of the project, a source revealed that the company would embark on the project on two separate parcels of land in the area, which would ultimately see more residences being supplied to cater to the growing demand in Kuala Lumpur city and its surrounding area.
The company had announced earlier that it had won the contract to build residential flats for the Housing and Local Government Ministry's People's Housing Programme (PPR), without revealing further details.
“It (Melati Ehsan) will be tasked with the design and building of the flats, while the authorities are still responsible for selling and distributing the units,” the source said.
According to the source, the two pieces of land are currently occupied by squatters, and it would be a resettlement plan (for the people staying there) and the project would provide new residences for eager homeowners.
The company said the contract had been awarded to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pembinaan Kery Sdn Bhd, and that it had just received the letter of award.
It said the contract would be split into two portions: one part is valued at RM82.1mil for the provision of 500 units of flats, and the other is for 1,600 units of flats worth RM215.9mil.
The flats will probably be sold for between RM135,000 and RM164,000 each. They are expected to be completed earliest by 2014, assuming the construction of the 500 and 1,600 units are completed on schedule by 30 and 36 months respectively.
If the flats are sold at the expected prices, they will be categorised as medium-cost flats, which suggests the units will have better design and built-up than the low-cost flats in previous PPR projects.
The source said compared with the old PPR flats, which only provided one parking space for every four units, the new flats would have one parking lot for each unit.
Meanwhile, Melati Ehsan is also busy with a RM1.62bil joint property development project with the Selangor State Development Authority in Kelana Jaya, where it is redeveloping the PKNS Sports Complex.
The 30-year old complex, which includes a field, six tennis courts and a clubhouse, will most likely make way for a sports-themed mixed development with five 35-storey apartment blocks, two 15-storey business complexes, a performing arts centre and an integrated sporting hub.
