Fraser Hospitality manages four and five-star serviced residences equipped with hotel facilties worldwide under its prestigious Fraser Place, Fraser Residence, Fraser Suites, and Fraser Resort brand names.
Fraser Place Kuala Lumpur is scheduled to commence operations and grand opening in November 2009.
“We brought in Fraser Hospitality to manage because this will enhance returns and add value to our investors from the rentals of the serviced suites,’’ YNH corporate services head Daniel Chan told StarBiz.
“We estimated that for the location – Jalan Perak – where the project is located, which is five minutes from the KLCC shopping complex, the yield generated from rental is between 6% and 10% per year based on the purchase price of the units.
“Fraser Place Kuala Lumpur will be one of the higher-yield generating properties based on the purchase price of the units, which ranges from RM600,000 to RM2mil,” he said.
Chan said Fraser Place Kuala Lumpur was sold out, leaving only about RM80mil in unbilled sales to be recognised.
YNH started selling the project back in late 2005, and completed the sales only recently.
“The investors, both local and foreign, have agreed to lease their properties back to us, as they realised that they could generate higher returns through Fraser Hospitality management,” he said.
Fraser Place KL offers 217 rooms, comprising studios with one and two bedrooms and luxurious penthouses, with built-up areas ranging from 450 to 4,000 sq ft.
Chan said the group had also engaged Fraser Hospitality to manage its 446-unit serviced residence development to be known as Fraser Residence Kuala Lumpur, off Jalan Sultan Ismail, next to Renaissance Hotel.
The RM550mil project, comprising two 30-storey towers with one and two-bedroom serviced apartments, features a sky gymnasium, infinity lap pool, whirlpool and sauna.
“It is scheduled for completion in four years,” Chan said.
On the group’s 95-acre land in Genting Highlands, he said YNH planned to develop residential cum commercial projects with an estimated gross sales value of RM2bil.
On the group’s other projects, Chan said YNH had recently achieved sales of RM300mil for Menara YNH’s retail podium, which measures 180,000 sq ft.
“The offer from Kuwait Finance House to take up 50% of the office space in Menara YNH is expected to be finalised this year,” he said.
On the Kiara 163 project, located next to Plaza Mont Kiara, Chan said the group had achieved sales of RM200mil for the commercial component measuring 480,000 sq ft.
“We will launch the residential component, comprising serviced apartments, soon as there are a lot of enquiries from the local and overseas market,” he added.
