Bina Darulaman unit to develop RM41.5 mil GDV commercial hub in Jitra, Kedah

ALOR SETAR (June 18): BDB Land Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bina Darulaman Bhd (KL:BDB), is developing a new commercial centre, the Darulaman Commercial District (DCD), with a gross development value (GDV) of RM41.5 million in Bandar Darulaman, Jitra.

BDB group chief executive officer Che Abdul Khalid Md Din said the project, which covers 5.01 acres (2.02 hectares), comprises 45 units of two- and three-storey shop offices, as well as a new BDB Land corporate office building.

“In addition, it will serve as a business hub and lifestyle destination that complements the existing community. The project is strategically located adjacent to the North-South Expressway (PLUS) and near the Darulaman Golf and Country Club, Tasik Darulaman Park, and Fantasia Aquapark, all of which are BDB-owned assets. This provides advantages in terms of accessibility and potential economic spillover effects.

“This strategic location will strengthen the area's economic connectivity by integrating residential, commercial, recreational, and tourism components into a complementary ecosystem, thereby supporting Bandar Darulaman’s role as one of the key growth centres in the northern region,” he said in a statement on Thursday.

He added that the development forms part of the group's ongoing efforts to strengthen the property market ecosystem within the 2,200-acre Bandar Darulaman township, which currently comprises more than 5,000 residential units and various mixed-development components.

“This initiative also supports BDB’s long-term strategy to enhance the overall value of the township. The DCD is designed for a more organised, modern business environment to meet current and future needs of the business community and to stimulate economic activity in retail, services, and entrepreneurship.

“In line with market demand, preliminary project works have already commenced, including site clearing and land preparation in anticipation of the next construction phase,” he said.

Meanwhile, Che Abdul Khalid emphasised that BDB Land’s primary commitment is to ensure every development delivers long-term benefits to property values and community well-being in Bandar Darulaman, in line with the ESG principles that underpin the BDB group’s practices.

“Each development is not solely focused on physical infrastructure but also emphasises social and governance aspects through more livable urban planning that supports sustainable economic growth.

“This approach serves as the foundation for creating a more organised, balanced, and high-quality environment for future generations,” he added.
