HAPPENINGS<br />

Tropicana Wins at the iProperty.com People’s Choice Awards 2014<br />

Tropicana Corporation Berhad took home the iProperty.com<br />

People’s Choice Awards for Best High Rise Development thanks<br />

to its Tropicana Metropark’s Pandora and Paloma Serviced<br />

Residences project. The winning entry was based on the<br />

design, facilities, connectivity and holistic nature of Tropicana<br />

Metropark.<br />

Tropicana was also nominated in five other categories at the<br />

ceremony which were Developer of the Year, Best Luxury<br />

and Landed Development, Best Landed Development, Best<br />

Township of the Year and Best Integrated Development. The<br />

Group has seen a recent surge in their accolades with their<br />

recent wins at The Edge Property Excellence Awards as well.<br />

The award-winning Tropicana Metropark is a mixed<br />

development in Subang which comes complete with its aptly<br />

named ‘Green Lung’ which is 9.2-acre green central park. This<br />

integrated development offers varied components comprising<br />

of townhouses, serviced apartments, shop fronts, business<br />

suites, SOHO, office towers, a proposed shopping mall, medical<br />

centre and education hub.<br />

Pandora Serviced Residences, the first phase of Tropicana<br />

Metropark was launched last year with a successful take-up<br />

rate of over 90%. Its 627 units are spread across two residential<br />

towers and come in three design options which are studio,<br />

two- and three-bedroom layouts. Its second phase, Paloma<br />

Services Residences comprises two serviced residential towers<br />

which offer a total of 587 units. Tower B of Paloma Serviced<br />

Residences is open for sale and consists of 248 units which are<br />

available in studio, two-bedroom and three-bedroom designs.<br />

Ivory to Develop Land in Johor<br />

At the signing ceremony, Ivory Properties was represented by<br />

its group chief executive officer Datuk Low Eng Hock and chief<br />

operating officer Goh Chin Heng while JB Lee Properties Sdn<br />

Bhd was represented by its directors Lee Wui Ming and Sia<br />

Chai Wat. Johor Housing and Local Government Committee<br />

chairman Datuk Abdul Latiff Bandi was also present to witness<br />

the signing.<br />

Aptly named Four-Leaf Clover Residences, the proposed<br />

development in Teluk Jawa will feature four clover-like, petalshaped<br />

residential towers that offer all the convenience of<br />

inner-city living with the luxuries one would expect in a hotel.<br />

Ivory Properties Group Berhad, through its wholly-owned<br />

subsidiary Ivory Residence Sdn Bhd, firmed up a joint venture<br />

with a land owner in Johor to develop a freehold land in Teluk<br />

Jawa.<br />

The agreement between Ivory Residence Sdn Bhd and JB Lee<br />

Properties Sdn Bhd is to jointly develop approximately 8.98<br />

acres of land into a project that is estimated to have a gross<br />

development value of RM2 billion.<br />

Set within the high growth Southern Link corridor, the<br />

development borrows inspiration from the Grand Canal in<br />

Venice, incorporating a picturesque canal within the retail<br />

component of the development.<br />

“This land of opportunity has since become an ideal haven for<br />

property development by many top-notch property moguls<br />

and we at Ivory are proud to have the honour of being part of<br />

this opportunity,” Low said.<br />
