#Exclusive* Dijaya to launch Tropicana Avenue with RM210 million GDV

PETALING JAYA: Dijaya Corp Bhd will be launching a new commercial and lifestyle development named Tropicana Avenue (pictured) located within the Tropicana Golf and Country Resort in Petaling Jaya, Selangor in the middle of the year.

Tropicana Avenue has a gross development value (GDV) of RM210 million and is undertaken by Tropicana Golf & Country Resort Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dijaya.

The three multi-storey commercial blocks consisting of office and retail outlets would cater to the needs of the neighbourhood and will attract small and medium enterprises (SMEs), said its deputy manager of sales and marketing Lillian Lung.

Tropicana Avenue comprises 359 lifestyle corporate suites and 38 loft offices sitting on top of 45 retail lots on two floors.

Sizes for the retail lots range from 1,150 sq ft to 3,077 sq ft and are ideal for cafés, restaurants, bistros, banks, bookstores, IT centres and luxury motor showrooms. The indicative price for the retail lots starts from RM900 psf, said Lung. 

“We are also looking at courting restaurants that can provide a fine dining experience, as high-net-worth individuals live in the vicinity,” added Lung. 

The rows of retail spaces are arranged along a pedestrian thoroughfare or common area, facing the food and beverage kiosks. The thoroughfare would feature a two-acre landscaped garden, a water fountain and a staging area. 

The office units on the upper floors are arranged along internal corridors and are suited for professionals such as lawyers, accountants, specialised doctors and consultants to set up offices. 

“The office units, which range from 1,000 sq ft to 1,700 sq ft, are well suited for SMEs such as IT companies and legal firms to set their offices here,” said Lung. Indicative prices for the office units start at RM400 psf.
