PETALING JAYA (Nov 13): Sunway Bhd’s Sunway Velocity integrated development in Taman Maluri, Cheras is now 40% developed and is on track for completion in 2019, the company revealed in a press release today.

“We have recently opened up our Signature Retail Suites 2, which is part of Sunway Velocity, comprising 24 shop units and 40 retail units for preview,” said Sunway’s senior general manager of property development division for central region Chong Sau Min.

The offices range from 1,814 to 3,364 sq ft while the shops are sized from 1,991 to 3,848 sq ft. The gross development value (GDV) of this phase is RM203.3 million.

According to him, Signature Shop & Office, comprising 30 shops and 50 office units and launched in April last year, was sold out.

The shops have a built-up of 1,970 to 6,119 sq ft while the offices have a built-up of 1,835 to 4,166 sq ft, and the GDV of Signature Shop & Ofice is RM242.57 million.

“Enabled by its build-own-operate business model, Sunway will be the largest investor in Sunway Velocity, similar to Sunway Resort City, Sunway City Ipoh and Sunway Iskandar,” said Chong.

“Around 47% of the total GDV of RM4 billion for the entire development will be owned and operated by Sunway, including the mall, the medical centre and the hotel,” he said.
