Added on April 26, 2011, 2:55 pmAccording to the SA, they have sold out 20 units land (66 units land open for selling) before the official launch. One of my friend's friend, he also bought a land too. Perhaps they want to build their bungalow..By the way, that's good sign and it looks like Emerald becomes "hot cake".

Yeah, those in kota damansara all bungalow lots were sold like goreng pisang also.. but not all have built their bungalow immediately..hehehe not a good sight though.. and summore got abandoned cunstructions, no CF bungalow etc.

The developer should have come out with a sound guidelines to monitor this. Just Opinion. not to sell empty land just to get fast money. I hope they have a proper planning. IMHO

Congrats guys

Peridot Hilltop Residence – all snapped up during the weekend launch
Steady stream of visitors to the Emerald Sales Gallery during the launch

Another solid sell-out – GuocoLand Malaysia’s weekend launch of its final release of bungalow lots at the Peridot Hilltop Residence were quickly snapped up, reaffirming Emerald’s position as the township of choice in Rawang.

All 66 bungalow lots, sizes ranging from about 5,200sq ft to 10,700sq ft, worth about RM33million were sold on the back of the sell-out launches for Coral double-storey linked houses and Amberley semi-detached parkhomes.

“All the bungalow lots were sold by 2pm on Sunday and the great response speaks a lot about the growing appeal of the Emerald township,” said GuocoLand (Malaysia) Bhd managing director Yeow Wai Siaw.

He said the Peridot Hilltop Residence offered an attractive long term investment with promising growth potential and wealth creation opportunities due to limited freehold bungalow lots in the Klang Valley.

The prime freehold bungalow lots, surrounded by lush landscaping and perched up to 250 feet above sea level, is part of the exclusive and gated Peridot enclave which offers 232 bungalow lots.

Emerald is a joint venture development between GuocoLand Malaysia and Hong Bee Land with the former as project manager. It has emerged as one of most sought-after townships in Rawang. A new Chinese school and a new AEON shopping mall, due for completion by the year-end, are expected to add more value to the thriving township.

Apart from excellent infrastructure, Emerald enjoys good accessibility to Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas via the North-South Highway, New Klang Valley Expressway and the Guthrie Corridor Expressway.

Emerald is located within easy reach from Rawang and its commercial hub, a 20-minute drive from the Jalan Duta toll. As an established town, Rawang has all the essential amenities including banks, post-office, restaurants, hypermarkets, a fresh produce market and a KTM Komuter station.

Ya, i stuck in the jam too. what kind of mind they have? they should do it midnight la. why so Stupid!!! the whole Rawang area jam like hell,. jus becos of the ^&*%& Amansiara Flyover. I think if the flyover completed, there will be an issue for us also cos we have to avoid and careful those car come from the flyover. before this flyover build, we have a smooth distance to work in the morning. really DAMN!!!

BRDB AND MPHB enter into agreements to develop three parcels of strategic land
May 05, 2011
Bandar Raya Developments Berhad (BRDB) wholly owned subsidiaries, Pinggir Mentari Sdn Bhd, Orion Vibrant Sdn Bhd and Magna Senandung Sdn Bhd have today signed three separate Joint Venture Agreements with subsidiaries of Multi-Purpose Holdings Berhad (MPHB) - Tibanis Sdn Bhd, Magnum.Com Sdn Bhd and Mimaland Berhad to develop land in Rawang, Penang and Mimaland.

The three JVAs have a total land area of 670.078 acres and a combined gross development value of around RM4.25 billion.

The JVA for the redevelopment of Mimaland involves the development of 7 parcels of leasehold and freehold land measuring approximately 324.051 acres.

The Mimaland site is located 5 minutes from the International Islamic University, 15 kilometres from KLCC and is easily accessible from the Karak Highway and the MRR 2.

The estimated RM2.2 billion Mimaland project will include eco-friendly hillside, courtyard and waterfront landed homes set amongst natural waterways, valleys and water bodies with mature forest views.

The JVA in Rawang proposes the development of two parcels of land that comprises approximately 265.13 acres of leasehold and freehold land just off the North-South Highway in Rawang.

As the northern gateway to the Klang Valley, the land is approximately 25 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur and less than 5 minutes from the Rawang Interchange.

The development has a projected gross development value (GDV) of an estimated RM1.4 billion and its residential component consists mainly of landed homes.

In the same venture, a commercial village is planned to capture the growing market north of KL.

The Penang JVA comprises 80.9-acres of freehold land to be developed in the south-east of Penang near the Penang Airport. The site is located at the high growth area next to the Free Trade Zone and is also about 2km off the Penang Second Bridge.

The proposed low-density, gated development here comprises bungalows, semi detached houses and condominiums with sea views and has a projected GDV of RM605 million.

BRDB chief executive officer, Jagan Sabapathy said, “These joint ventures present an opportunity for BRDB to diversify its development portfolio into the Klang Valley and it also represents our entry into Penang. In a strategic move to augment our principal business of property development, these opportunities allow BRDB to participate in viable development projects without having to bear the substantial upfront costs of acquiring land.”

He said BRDB has long been accredited with the establishment of Bukit Bandaraya in Bangsar, one of the country’s most established and affluent neighbourhoods. Their vision moving forward is to provide the unique Bangsar lifestyle in Rawang, Mimaland and Penang.

Menara Multi-Purpose Holdings Berhad chief executive officer Surin Upatkoon said, “We are pleased to announce the joint ventures as part of our asset rationalisation programme pursuant to our exercise to acquire 100% of Magnum.”

He said during the restructuring of Magnum in 2008, MPHB cherry-picked certain non-core assets including these strategic parcels of land in the Klang Valley and Penang to boost its investment portfolio.

“The joint ventures will allow us to unlock the maximum values of these lands over the next decade. As a partner, BRDB has a long and proven track record for quality developments and we are confident of their vision for expansion of the BRDB lifestyle through Klang Valley and into Penang,” Upatkoon added.

Smooth,

This is really excited news. As all of you probably aware, Kuala Selangor highway will open by this June. Another good news..

Wow..thanks Smooth..

A good news indeed.. can't wait to see the new look PLUS Rawang Toll... Strongly add to the value of our property here... Thanks!

That's really good news. Really can't wait to see how Rawang change... And i heard that those houses at Rawang Tin where nearby the Lafarge area planning to be demolish and will build to new development. Last time ppl so scare to stay in Rawang. When heard Rawang this word, they will say no no.. Hopefully things will be getting better soon. good luck to those ppl in Rawang like us. hehehe.

hi guys..

last week my husband went to the sales gallery just to get info on the water & electricity supply for ivory phase 3..but we were quite shocked to be informed that ivory 3 has not received the CF yet..but we already received our house key..just wanna ask u guys..can we get the house key although CF has not been issued yet??..i'm confused....

Hi Leli,

I believe you can get the key, once you have the VP and the CF will come later.

in bolehland.. developers can handover keys without CF yet..

Yes, it can happen. Most of the time developer do that to avoid paying LAD. But i think is acceptable if CF can be obtained not far from VP (date), say 1 month, just my personal opinion.

Hi all, the above scenario is very common in the past, however I'm not very sure whether is it legal.

For our current situation, there was a law enforce; as of year 2006. Any building completed after september 2006, VP can be given as long as the Architect are able to issue the certificate of practical completion.

Therefore, it is totally legal.
