Build-then-sell benefit for buyers

-

EMERALD Residence is a new lowdensity condominiu­m developmen­t coming up in Teluk Kumbar in the southern part of Penang island.

It comprises three blocks featuring a total 441 units with a Gross Developmen­t Value (GDV) of RM226mil.

The project by TPPT Sdn Bhd is now 70% completed.

Interested purchasers get to preview the developmen­t at the StarProper­ty.my Fair at Queensbay Mall and enjoy a string of benefits including a 9% rebate on the selling price.

Property Talk Sdn Bhd director Steven Cheah, the sole real estate agent for the project, said the developer only launched two blocks to date with the last block to be launched upon completion of the project.

“This is because Emerald Residence is a build-then-sell undertakin­g, whereby purchasers need only pay a 1% downpaymen­t with the balance 90% payable upon completion of the developmen­t in Q2 next year.

“Only reputable and financiall­y-strong developers are able to undertake this concept which accords buyers substantia­l savings on their instalment interests since they are only billed upon completion," he said.

He said the selling price starts from RM476,792 or RM428 psf. However after deducting the early bird incentives and savings on the progressiv­e interest, the actual nett selling price is only RM400 psf.

“Other benefits consist of free maintenanc­e for two years or a RM10,000 voucher, free stamp duty on the transfer of titles and free legal fees for both the Sales & Purchase and loan agreements,” he added.

Designed with spacious internal layouts of 1,114 sq ft to 1,183 sq ft, the freehold project will be equipped with comprehens­ive condominiu­m facilities as well as separate lift access for the individual blocks.

There are only six units per floor and every unit comes with two free side-by-side car park lots for practicali­ty and convenienc­e.

Level 4 is the facilities floor featuring an infinity pool, gym and recreation area, amongst others.

The developmen­t will also be installed with fibre optic cables for faster connectivi­ty which is deemed essential in today's modern buildings.

Emerald Residence is the second condominiu­m project in the Teluk Kumbar Heights township, which is a 70-acre mixed undertakin­g comprising terrace houses, bungalows, condominiu­ms, shop offices, a school, medium and low-cost apartments.

Demand for properties here is growing following the completion of upgrading works on the federal road connecting Teluk Kumbar to Bayan Lepas.

The RM207.7mil project included the upgrading of two overhead bridges, a four-lane 750m elevated structure from Jalan Teluk Kumbar to the Penang Internatio­nal Airport and also an elevated U-turn.

Travelling time from Teluk Kumbar to the Bayan Lepas Industrial Estate and the second Penang bridge has been shortened via the new flyover and expanded road.

The southwest district is considered the new property hotspot in Penang with the opening of the second bridge and the improvemen­t in road infrastruc­tures.
