The Haven picks CBRE as agent

IPOH: The Haven Sdn Bhd has appointed CB Richard Ellis Malaysia (CBRE) as its sole marketing agent for Malaysia and the rest of Asia for The Haven Lakeside Residences, located in Tambun.

CBRE Malaysia executive chairman Christopher Boyd said their role was to market The Haven Lakeside Residences as a five-star luxury eco condo-tel project.

"The Haven is a remarkable development. We are excited to bring this project to our clients," said Boyd, describing The Haven as "one of those rare properties that is perfect for both investors and residents".

The Haven Lakeside Residences is a project consisting three 26-storey condominium towers, with a total of 497 units surrounding a four-acre pristine lake with a 280 million year-old limestone rock feature with a GDV of RM 270 million.

The Haven chief executive officer Peter Chan said his company is pleased to include a five-star property service provider to its list of five-star consultants, contractors and suppliers involved in the project.

"Everything here is all about five-star. Names such as Bina Puri Holdings Bhd, Beijing Construction and Engineering, Best Western International, MLA Landscape Architects Sdn Bhd, Tasweek, Island Waterproofing Construction (M) Sdn Bhd (of Shell Flintkote) are all five-star establishments," said Chan

Five-star ratings for The Haven Lakeside Residence has helped The Haven to bag the International Arch of Europe Award (Gold Category) for Quality and Technology at an award ceremony held in Frankfurt, Germany, by Business Initiative Directions (B.I.D.) on last Wednesday, June 27.

"We have also engaged Best Western International, the world’s largest hotel chain, to operate a five-star condo-tel. The Best Western branding comes with designer finishes, condo-tel service and conference facilities," Chan added.
