---

There’s no place like home. “Home is where the heart is. These well-known expressions indicate that home is somewhere that is both desirable and that exists in the mind’s eye as much as in a particular physical location. What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?
Because of that Sunway Property, unveiled its campaign for the year, “Yours, 2020,” putting its purchasers at the front and center of its operations.Where purchasers can look forward to getting their dream home, at the right price, at strategic locations, coupled with the right financing support from the property developer this year. Making it easy for those who are looking to purchase a home to start a new decade with their very own Sunway homes and be part of Sunway Property growing communities.Besides enhanced customer engagement and experience, improved service and an even more dynamic customer service portal, purchasers this year can look forward to fully-customized home packages that center on well-being with personalized financing options.
Last year, Sunway Property surpassed its sales targets of RM 1.3 billion to reach RM 1.55 billion in sales. Of the close to RM 3.5 billion worth of properties in gross development value (GDV) to be launched, RM 1.0 billion of the properties will be in Malaysia and  RM 2.4 billion (70%) of the properties will be in Singapore. This is in line with its plans for geographical diversification.










“Sunway’s recurring income from our portfolio of invested properties currently strengthens our financial sustainability. Geographical diversification will further deepen sustainability for us,” Cheah said. She added, “In line with our Master Community Developer brand promise, powered by our build-own-operate model, we will continue to invest in our integrated townships and developments to ensure growth for our communities with about RM 1.1 billion of investment properties currently being built”.
As of December 2019, Sunway Property has 3,362 acres in landbank with the gross development value of RM59 billion and a total development period of up to 15 years. Currently, strong unbilled sales stands at RM2.8 billion which provides for earnings visibility.
On track with its plans for geographical diversification, the developer continues to make headway in Singapore, China, UK and Australia.








In Singapore, where Sunway Property has ventured into since 2007, and delivered RM 14.98 billion worth of properties, the developer’s launches will comprise 70% of the total launches for this year.

Upcoming launches in Singapore will total RM 2.44 billion worth of residential properties including Parc Canberra, Canberra Link (executive condominiums : GDV RM 560 million), Ki Residence, Clementi (private condominiums : RM 1.0 billion) and Park Avenue Residences, Tampines (executive condominiums : GDV RM 880 million).

In China, where the developer has ventured into since 2010, it has acquired another 6.85 acres of land in Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City in 2019. To date, the developer has delivered RM 990 million worth of properties within the integrated 110-acre development which is a collaborative agreement between the governments of China and Singapore to jointly develop a socially-harmonious, environmentally-friendly and resource-conserving city in China.

Last year, Sunway Property had established a private trust in Singapore with an initial £38 million (est RM202 million) of assets under management (AUM) that focuses on purpose-built student accommodations in the UK. It has since acquired three completed student accommodation blocks in Bristol and Sheffield. Britain’s education sector remains one of its most lucrative international sectors with thegovernment targeting to reach revenues of £35 billion by 2030.

The property developer is also pursuing opportunities in student accommodation and developments in Australia. Education is the third-largest export sector at AUD$32 billion annually. Australia’s property market is currently rising, with Sydney and Melbourne as some of the cities that lead gains in prices nationally. 

FOCUSED ON DELIVERING LIFELONG VALUE FOR PURCHASERS

Cheah said that delivering lifelong value for purchasers continue to be Sunway Property’s key focus for the Malaysian market.

“100% of our launches this year will be within integrated developments or are transit-linked, in-line with the continued resilient demand that we are seeing from purchasers for properties which are connected and offers great convenience. Our new landbanking efforts will also be in tandem,” she said.

“We will continue to deliver lifelong value to homebuyers by developing quality liveable urban homes which are connected, and strategically-located, and price the homes within the range of RM 600,000 - RM 800,000. Our commercial launches which constitute 30% of our total launches this year will be within integrated developments with immediate catchment in populous areas to ensure the success of our business community,” she added.

“With this, homebuyers can be assured of lifelong value, and attain ideal urban lifestyles where they can live, learn, work, stay and play in safe and secure havens while be future-proofed with the inherent potential capital appreciation of the properties,” said Cheah. Last year, purchasers had snapped up 80% of Sunway Property’s launches which were transit-linked or integrated, constituting 90% of its launches.
