Hi,

Any Sarawakian forumer here? I am opening a thread to welcome all Sarawakians and non Sarawakians who are interested in our local property to come in and discuss on the latest property and commercial developments around major cities of Kuching, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri.

You are most welcomed to share any photos of your purchased unit, or any development that you are aware of icon_rolleyes.gif

Let me start off with some latest developments around Kuching City:

Definitely, there are tons of houses opposite unimas, and one high rise coming up soon by RJ realty, next to UNIMAS. Cannot remember the project name though. Should go drive around when you are in kuching to have a look smile.gif

I see, where are you currently working at now?
If you come back you will be surprised how much developments are currently going on. Of course cannot compare to KL, but for a small city like kuching, the improvements are tremendous. Traffic has been increasingly more congested over the years too.

I'm from Miri, but currently residing in KL (Seputeh area).

For the commercial market, I don't follow it that closely, but based on my experiences with people who have invested in shoplots, I can say that it's not doing too well nowadays. My dad bought a shoplot at the Eastwood Industrial Park 2 years ago and up till now, no tenant moved in. As for the Waterfront, the commercial lots are completed, but not many tenants moved in yet the last time I was there back a few months ago.

If I were you, I'd better wait until the property market improves because according to my dad, he saw a lot of 'For Sale/Rent' on quite a number of shoplots dy, including the ones at the Waterfront.

Seems like there's an oversupply of commercial properties not only in Miri but in a number of cities in Sarawak like Bintulu and Kuching. If oversupply in residential properties, that's still able to rectify as there are always people looking for a place to stay/rent, regardless of a recession or not.

Shoplots/Commercial units, on the other hand, not everybody needs to set up a business and I'm sure those who do are not that many compared to salaried workers. Talk about a mismatch of demand and supply. dry.gif

yeah, do you think this is sustainable? the growth of the commercial lots take up seems slow. wonder how those who bought those shop lot maintain their monthly payment to the bank
*
most of the ppl who bought those shop lot are the person which is in the rich categories i gues... tatz y nt worry for the monthly payment to the bank.. y i said so.... due to where i ever meet a owner which his shop is now tenanted, and need renew the tenancy agreement by this year.. nowadays business market oledi in slow down term, the owner still wan to increase the rental price... at last the tenant force to move out due to hard to pay increasing of the rental.. and now the owner end up left the lot vacant for amost 3 months now... if for me i won do so...

Most, but not all. I know my dad is cursing that Eastwood Industrial Park shoplot that he bought 2-3 years ago coz up till now, no tenant wanted to set up shop there and he still continue to pay the monthly installments some more. He runs his own business, btw, but pretty small scale.

Seems like there's an oversupply of commercial properties not only in Miri but in a number of cities in Sarawak like Bintulu and Kuching. If oversupply in residential properties, that's still able to rectify as there are always people looking for a place to stay/rent, regardless of a recession or not.

Shoplots/Commercial units, on the other hand, not everybody needs to set up a business and I'm sure those who do are not that many compared to salaried workers. Talk about a mismatch of demand and supply. dry.gif

this statement is very true...i'm fr kuching...plenty of shoplot around...no demand...

earlier,when my wife and mysefl moved back to kuching from overseas, i was considering to set up a business and was looking around for commercial unit with my wife (partner), ended up, the KEY QUESTION is, what business do we wanna set up is more important than the locality..cos, everywehre in the city, there's empty shoplot for rent... (anyway, we havent figured out wat biz to set up for now, so we go into employment, hopefully by next year we can set out on our own)

tenant market nowadays, sad to say...

I would say those people fall under the minority in Sarawak. Based on my observation, most Sarawakians still prefer landed properties and a condo to them is still outside the norm for now.

That might change as the years pass by, but still a long way to go for that to happen.

For Miri scene, one of the developers told me it's not worth to build condo there. People tend to favor landed over high rise with one of the benefits being not having to carry stuffs using the lift after some serious groceries shopping.

The shoplots at Marina are slowly picking up btw.

For Kuching, I saw less people are going to the malls nowadays. Could be due to economic issue or poor market sentiments that people are not spending their cash as easily as before.

I'm a Mirian myself and I also agree with this. Based on my last visit, I can easily count the number of condos in one hand. tongue.gif

As long as there's still lots of land to develop housing estates and the travelling distance isn't too far, most, if not all, Mirians will still go for landed over a high-rise.

Based on what I saw of the crowd in any Kuching shopping mall, I noticed that if there's a huge event at one mall, the crowd will flock there and the other malls will end up nearly empty. At least in KL, if there's a huge event like the TCE Baby Expo at Mid Valley Megamall and a lot of ppl flock there for the discounted baby items, the other shopping malls still have their crowds.

Though on normal days, you do see a crowd in all their shopping malls.

Yea about this one, I'm quite upset about the sudden change to 10 years again.
I received a statement from Pr1ma few weeks ago on the case and I feel it is very unfair for us.
