KUALA LUMPUR: UEM Land Bhd and UNITED MALAYAN LAND BHD (UMLand) are teaming up to develop the second mixed development project in Puteri Harbour with an estimated gross development value of RM670 million while gross development profit is estimated at RM160 million.

UEM Land, the master developer of Nusajaya, had on Thursday, Dec 23 signed a sale and purchase agreement valued at RM49.6 million with Nusajaya Consolidated Sdn Bhd (NCSB), a 50:50 JV of UEM Land and UMLand to acquire the parcel of land -- Parcel Commercial South 3 (Parcel CS3) -- in Puteri Harbour.

The Parcel CS3 is within the Commercial South development of Puteri Harbour. Commercial South is envisioned to be a business and residential hub with high towers overlooking the marinas of Puteri Harbour.

UEM Land and UMLand said their strategy was to target regional companies to locate their offices there while for the condominiums, their plan was to attract international investors to be the main buyers for the units.

UEM Land managing director Datuk Wan Abdullah Wan Ibrahim said the company was excited with the exercise of the option and the SPA as it reaffirmed UMLand’s commitment in the overall development potential of Puteri Harbour.

“We have enjoyed a strong working relationship with UMLand in the development of Parcel A3 and are pleased with the progress achieved for Parcel A3, which we hope to introduce to the market in 2011.

“With UMLand’s involvement in the development, it will contribute to realising our vision to develop Puteri Harbour as a premier waterfront destination for the region,” Wan Abdullah said.

Presently, NCSB is developing boutique waterfront apartments scheduled to be launched in 2011.

UMLand group chief executive officer Pee Tong Lim said with development activities picking up in Nusajaya, the joint project was timely and augured well with UMLand’s business plans and strategies.

“This development is expected to contribute to UMLand’s group earnings from financial year 2012 onwards,” said Pee.
