18 April 2008 - Sime Darby Property Berhad is confident that Taipan@Bandar Bukit Raja, its first commercial property development in the strategically located and self-contained Bandar Bukit Raja in Klang, will be well received by customers when it goes on sale on 18 April.

Managing Director Dato’ Abd Wahab Maskan said Sime Darby Property anticipated strong interest from customers looking for added value in the form of self-contained facilities and amenities which have all been provided within the entire development.

He said that Taipan@Bandar Bukit Raja will be an attractive option as it was located within the 1,000-acre Bandar Bukit Raja residential township community which offers an immediate catchment area with 16,000 residents and a projected population of 30,000 once it is fully completed.

Taipan @ Bandar Bukit Raja shop offices offer a contemporary architectural design with attractive roof forms, curtain glass walls and concealed air-conditioning locations.

Only 108 units are available for sale with the 22’ x 70’ intermediate units offering a built-up area of 3,038 sq. ft. and corner units which offer built-up areas ranging from 6,177 sq. ft. to 10,744 sq. ft. Prices begin from RM468,888.00.

The convenience of customers has also been taken into account with a boulevard concept that offers junctions and ramps for the disabled, with covered drains and low road kerb for safety. The 14 acre development is scheduled for completion by September 2010, much earlier than the standard 36 months or three years which is the norm.

Dato’ Abd Wahab said that Bandar Bukit Raja, which was launched in August 2002, with its well-planned layout, strategic location, high quality products and alluring designs, has the “potential to become a promising contender as the preferred neighbourhood in the Klang district.”

“Over the years, Sime Darby Property has strengthened its base and laid out the critical building blocks that will drive and sustain long-term growth for this township,” he added.

Bandar Bukit Raja comprises residential properties such as apartments and link homes, as well as commercial, institutional and industrial properties. To date, a total of 3,200 units comprising a mixture of single-storey link homes, double-storey link homes, one-and-a-half storey link homes and low cost apartments have been launched.
