“In addition, the country’s ageing population is expected to exceed 15 per cent by 2030, which poses a lot of good potentials and needs for healthcare and medical care for senior people living,” he said.

For the township, among others, he said that the wellness suites are projected to generate a gross yield of double-digit for investors.

He explained that it is known that Airbnb and short-term stay surroundin­g hospitals have high occupancy and high rental rates not only in the Klang Valley.

“This becomes a very attractive asset class for investors because of its price and as it is built adjoining the large-scale internatio­nal tertiary hospital,” he said.

Vincent added that the hospital is funded by banks and its shareholde­rs, in which the latter comprise of medical doctors, and they are aiming for an IPO listing in the years following its completion.

He said the hospital is a great investment choice considerin­g the return of investment (ROI) for hospitals in general is at least 20 times higher when compared to the ROI for hotel investment­s.

“We are targeting RM6 billion ROI for the internatio­nal tertiary hospital,” he said.

Vincent called on potential investors to put faith in the KL Wellness City project as it not only offers an attractive 3in-1 investment opportunit­y in medical healthcare, wellness estate and medical tourism but can also help boost the country’s thriving medical tourism industry.

“I foresee another 20 great years of medical tourism revenue and good performanc­e for Malaysia.

“We believe that with the presence and developmen­t of our internatio­nal tertiary hospital, we will able to help draw even more medical tourists from countries already coming to the country such as Indonesia,” he said.
