Metro Kajang to partner PKNS for RM500m development in Selangor

PROPERTY developer Metro Kajang Holdings Bhd will partner Selangor State Development Corp (PKNS) to develop an integrated project on a 2.4ha leasehold land in the city centre in Kajang, Selangor, for RM500 million.

Group senior general manager Chong Yong Han said the project, dubbed "Kajang Walk", will feature a three-star 300-room city hotel, a retail mall and offices.

Chong said the properties will have a gross built-up area of 1.5 million sq ft and both Metro Kajang and PKNS will jointly promote them to investors in Asia-Pacific, including Malaysia.

"This is our first venture with PKNS and we hope to work together on other potential developments," he said at a signing ceremony in Shah Alam, Selangor, yesterday.
The event saw Metro Kajang college operator Andaman Group and Q-Cell, a Germany-based solar-cell manufacturer inking agreements with PKNS to develop land at the latter's 400ha Selangor Science Park 2 (SSP2) integrated project in Cyberjaya.

PKNS general manager Othman Omar said he believes that the synergistic relationship between PKNS and Metro Kajang will benefit both parties.
