manufactured, potential investors and purchasers will look<br />

towards Cyberjaya.<br />

One of the many advantages that Cyberjaya has is that it<br />

is an administrative centre which is quite well-thought-out<br />

even as a township. It has beautiful landscapes as well as<br />

wide open spaces and is comparable to Seri Kembangan,<br />

Serdang and Balakong.<br />

James Tan (JT): IOI Vivo City, Bandar Kinrara and some other<br />

pockets of land within Puchong have still yet to be developed.<br />

Even Bandar Bukit Puchong is not fully developed yet and<br />

the same goes for the 170 acres behind IOI Mall. Of course,<br />

there is also the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve which may or<br />

may not be gazetted in the near future. As far as freehold<br />

land is concerned, people do not take that into consideration<br />

as much as they used to as the price difference between a<br />

freehold land and a leasehold land is nominal.<br />

Regarding the spill-over from Puchong into Cyberjaya, only<br />

something positive can come of it. Give Cyberjaya a few more<br />

years and you will definitely see it develop into something<br />

better. One big driving factor is the Maju Expressway (MEX)<br />

which provides the area with great accessibility.<br />

As more facilities start operating in Cyberjaya, there will<br />

definitely be an increase in migration there. One current<br />

example would be all the big players in property developing<br />

some kind of property in the area. Pair this with the extension<br />

of the LRT lines in parts of Puchong and developers have all<br />

the more reason to move into Cyberjaya in a bigger capacity.<br />

Kevin Lim (KL): Puchong continues to offer good options for<br />

development with key players such as IOI Group, Bukit Hitam<br />

Development Sdn Bhd and Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad<br />

still having new launches for freehold landed and high-rise<br />

projects there. The ever-increasing appeal of Puchong,<br />

evidenced by strong take-up rates of new launches, shows<br />

the maturity of the township, thus drawing new residents<br />

from surrounding areas.<br />

This will inevitably expand its boundaries to the limit and spillover<br />

into Cyberjaya, which is also experiencing a renaissance<br />

of sorts in its property offerings. The LRT extension will<br />

improve connectivity, raising its appeal even more. The spillover<br />

will create stronger demand for Cyberjaya and grow<br />

the population there, which has had challenges in drawing<br />

residents in the past. This is further augmented by the<br />

recent opening of shopping malls there to serve Cyberjaya’s<br />

residents.<br />
