NEW GROWTH ENGINE: Penang-based developer in
talks with Sime Darby to buy land in Sungai Buloh
It is also developing 85ha of land at Medini Central in Iskandar Malaysia, with
an estimated gross development value of RM3.5 billion.
E&O is reportedly targeting to launch RM1.5 billion to RM2 billion of property projects a year from financial year ending March 31 2014 to 2016.
This will be increased to RM3 billion to RM4 billion worth of launches to achieve sustainable net profits of RM270 million to RM300 million from 2017 onwards.
If it materialises, the freehold Sungai Buloh land will be its maiden township project in the Klang Valley, the company said.
The project will be based entirely on a wellness theme, comprising both commercial real estate and lifestyle residential development.
“The development will offer E&O ample opportunity to deliver unique wellness products that meet the aspirational lifestyle needs of an increasingly discerning market,” it said.
