Hunt for dream homes begins
NORTHERN region’s premier and most anticipated property expo — StarProperty.my Fair 2018 — will kick off at Gurney Plaza and Gurney Paragon Mall in Penang tomorrow.
The four-day event until Sunday, will see some of the biggest property developers in Malaysia coming together to showcase the best of their architectural gems, each uniquely distinct to spoil you for choice.
This one-stop extravaganza will have the participation of 17 exhibitors featuring a multitude of properties, property-related products and services as well as other alternative investment opportunities including an innovative oil palm plantation-based scheme promising good returns.
Major players include Ivory Properties Group Berhad, Hunza Properties Berhad, Ideal Property Group, Ewein Zenith Sdn Bhd, Bandar Utama Development Sdn Bhd, Kerjaya Prospek Property Sdn Bhd and Mah Sing Group.
Rounding up are BTK Land Sdn Bhd, Sepakat Mewah Sdn Bhd, Hatten Group Sdn Bhd, Bionic Land, East West One Group, GIC Group, Penang Development Corporation, Devoteshens Sdn Bhd (My Sakura), Aroma Development Sdn Bhd (Starhill) and Cosmopolitan Homes (Urban Suites).
Come and explore your investment options ranging from landed to high-rise residences, integrated developments, retail, office and industrial space, while enjoying the many irresistible incentives and rebates.
Whether you are a property novice or seasoned investor, here is the perfect platform to browse for prime properties with enticing price tags by prominent developers.
This is a good place to start for those looking to buy their first dream home, upgrade their living spaces, expand their investment portfolio, or simply to survey the choices available.
Visitors get to save time and effort when it comes to comparing the various offerings with everything under one roof. These days, buying a home is more than just about square footage.
Developers are well aware of the need for product differentiation as buyers are looking at amenities, security and lifestyle elements in their quest for a safe and comfortable home.
The ‘tax holiday’ period for Malaysians has made it even more attractive to invest in properties which have always been a good hedge against inflation even in the face of global economic uncertainties.
The volume of property transactions in the country this year is also expected to increase due to the improvement in spending power arising from the zerorisation of the goods and services tax (GST).
Besides the array of prime properties, visitors also get to attend the special line-up of informative and insightful talks by industry experts.
