Bolton in its first build-then-sell development

KUALA LUMPUR: Bolton Bhd is embarking on its first build-then-sell residential development with a gross development value of RM80mil on a 2.34ha site in Setapak.

The company has entered into an agreement with CRSC Property Sdn Bhd to develop 70 three-storey superlink terraced houses on the leasehold site, which is part of an ongoing 26.97ha residential and commercial development in Taman Sri Rampai.

Under the agreement with CRSC Property, Bolton will construct and complete the development by February 2015.

“We expect this project to be a quick turnaround for Bolton as the land is currently vacant and ready for development,” said executive chairman Datuk Mohamed Azman Yahya in a statement yesterday.

“Although this is our first build-then-sell concept development, we are confident that Bolton's good and solid reputation has garnered us a strong following in the Klang Valley to ensure the saleability of the superlink terraced houses.”

He said Taman Sri Rampai was a sought-after mature township, which enjoys good accessibility to the city centre via several major highways.

“As this project is a landed development, this would ensure that the property would enjoy healthy capital appreciation upon its completion,” he added.

Singapore's HDB to launch 8,000 flats today

SINGAPORE: The Housing Board (HDB) will launch a bumper crop of 8,000 flats today through a joint build-to-order (BTO) and sale of balance flats exercise. The flats are located in mature and non-mature estates, such as in Bukit Timah, Bedok and Clementi, and cover the full range of flat types.

“With the wide range of flats offered, flat buyers will be able to apply for one that best meets their needs, and in an estate of their choice,” said National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan in his latest blog posting.

He expects strong demand for the completed/near completed flats and flats in mature estates. Those who wanted to have a better chance of success should widen their choice and consider applying for a BTO flat in the non-mature estates, he said.

The results of the launch will help HDB calibrate the BTO rules for future launches, to ensure that the policy objectives are met. “Our priority remains to help first-timers get their first HDB flat as quickly as possible, so that they can proceed to start their family,” he said.

Earlier this month, Khaw announced in parliament new measures to help various groups of home buyers.

They include tripling the BTO chance for second-timers in non-mature estates, enhancing the married child priority scheme and introducing a new multi-generation priority scheme to help married children live with or near their parents, as well as introducing an ageing-in-place priority scheme and a silver housing bonus scheme to help the elderly right-size and age in a familiar environment.
