Taman Villa Kashim to meet housing needs in Sipitang
SIPITANG: Taman Villa Kashim with a gross development value of RM60 million is yet another landed property looking forward to meet the housing needs in this growing interior town.
Located 144km south of Kota Kinabalu, Sipitang is experiencing the growth of the Sipitang Oil & Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP) and the building of the Sabah Ammonia-Urea (SAMUR) project within the park.
SOGIP has the potential to create 30,000 new job opportunities when fully developed, so the demand for housing is there.
Distinct Harmony Sdn Bhd, a local property developer of the housing project is playing a part to provide the dream home for the people in this district.
“We are building 175 units of single terrace houses on a 14.6 ha land. It comes with three bedrooms and two toilets. The build up size of the house is 986 sq ft on a standard lot of 22ft x 84ft (1,811 sq ft).
“The selling price ranges from RM253,888 to RM460,000 depending on the location of the units whether corner or intermediate,” said Harmony Distinct director Clayton Koshy.
“So far, about 40 per cent to 70 units have been sold. There are 30 per cent of the lots reserved for bumiputera with five per cent discount,” he said.
The construction kicked off in March 2018 and will be ready in 18 months, said Clayton whose company was set up in 2013 and embarked on its first project in Sipitang.
“Our target buyers are civil servants and businessmen in Sipitang as well as some from Kota Kinabalu, Sarawak and Brunei,” he added.
Travelling to Sipitang will be easy and faster by one hour when the Pan Borneo Highway project is open, he said.
Now the normal driving time to Sipitang from Kota Kinabalu is about two hours and 25 minutes.
The developer organised a promotional sales last Saturday at the project’s site offering special discount of RM10,000 for six units, which included free furniture worth RM20,000 and guaranteed lucky draw prizes for those who signed the sales and purchase agreement.
Taman Villa Kashim is located in Kampung Pelakat near SMK Pengiran Omar 1 and 2, about 500 metres from Sipitang Hospital, 1.2km from the town and 10-12km from SOGIP.
