Developer Review

YTL Land & Development Berhad has been pioneering lifestyles for

many years not surprising as its parent company, YTL Corporation,

began as a construction company in 1955, building hospitals, offices

and ammunition depots for the British Army. Today, property together

with construction, cement, power, E-business Solutions, and hotels,

resorts and leisure form YTL Corporations core focus as an integrated

infrastructure developer with operations on three continents and a

combined market capitalisation of over US$9 billion. YTL Corporation

is also one of the largest companies listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock

Exchange and the first Asian non-Japanese company to be listed on

the Tokyo Stock Exchange (secondary listing since 1996).

Since its inception, YTL Land has enjoyed an illustrious track record

by creating some of Malaysias most unique landmarks, from award-

winning island resorts to shopping centres to lifestyle homes. Its

commitment to deliver projects on time, ahead of schedule and within

budget has led YTL Land to amazing new opportunities in property

development. Undeniably, their success also harks to a combination

of strong business acumen, keen consumer insights and a knack for

the extraordinary.

Staying fresh and keeping ahead of the times, while challenging, does

pay as it means being able to provide customers with what they need

before they have even realised they want it. With each succeeding

housing project, from Spanish-inspired condo-villas to lakefront homes,

to the unique lifestyle of park living in Sentul, YTL Land continues to

create varied lifestyles and set new benchmarks in Malaysias property

sector.

In keeping with its promise of offering unique living experiences, YTL

Land recently introduced Waterville at the iconic Lake Edge address.

Waterville is a charming collection of 2 1/2-storey semi-detached

homes that come with a private pool, amidst a spacious 4,117 sqf

built-up. Like all other YTL Land projects, Lake Edge has a proven

track record of good capital appreciation and high take-up rates, as

demonstrated with the debut of Courtyard Homes, which sold out

within three days of its official launch in 2004. Lake Edge has also

been recently recognised as the countrys Best Residential Low Rise

Development at the FIABCI Malaysia Property Awards 2008.

Developer Review

Since developing its first luxury project Duta Nusantara in 2002, S P

Setia has established a sterling reputation by constantly raising the bar

in high-end developments. In fact, Duta Nusantara among the first

landed luxury developments in the Sri Hartamas area featuring semi-

Ds and bungalows went on to win the Best Low-Rise Residential

Development in the FIABCI Malaysia Property Awards 2006.

Bearing more testimony to the viability of this project is the fact that

the properties have also appreciated by over 100 per cent, with

excellent rental yield in excess of 12 per cent annually. Not one to rest

on its laurels, S P Setia continued its winning streak with the sold-out

success of Duta Tropika, another high-end project in 2005 featuring

three-storey villas.

In 2007, the company again wowed luxury-seekers with a unique

offering in the form of spa-villas. Its Setiahills development attained

new heights of luxury with the introduction of 45 units of Tropical

Spa-villas, located on a 15-acre hillock, amidst the lush foliage of the

Ampang Forest Reserve.

If luxury within natures warm embrace is what you are after, Setia

Eco Park makes that dream a reality. Spread across 791 acres of

prime freehold land in Shah Alam, Setia Eco Park is renowned for its

scenic landscape tapestry; 25 per cent of land area here has been

allocated for the creation of waterways, lakes, creeks, landscaped

themed parks, lush walkways and a forest park. Setia Eco Park is

truly an exclusive estate with only 3.7 units per acre, making it one

of the biggest high-end enclaves with the lowest density in the Klang

Valley.

Building on its success in the luxury market, S P Setia is set to introduce

its first luxury condominium, Setia Sky Residences, in the heart of

Kuala Lumpur City Centre in the middle of this year. These freehold,

40-storey high-rise is positioned as an urban chic development that

appeals to urbanites who desire to work and live within the Golden

Triangle.

S P Setia also plans to unveil a project that epitomises the pinnacle

of luxury with the Kenny Hills Grand mansions, at breakthrough

prices of RM30 million. Once completed, these residences will offer

an entirely personalised and customisable experience catering to

individual tastes and needs. Over the passage of time, SP Setia aims

to be known as the property brand that re-invented luxury living

through ground-breaking and innovative products.

Developer Review

Ho Bee Investment Ltd is a company founded on the solid principles

of strong management and clear strategic direction. Since its

establishment in 1987, the company has built a fine portfolio of quality

residential, commercial, industrial and mixed-use properties.

Its listing on the Singapore Exchange in December 1999 seals its

reputation as a key player in the property industry.

With Singapore as the base for its core activities, Ho Bee has spread

its wings into Shanghai and London. The foray into London in 1996

and Shanghai in 2002 is a strategic move to reduce its dependency on

the Singapore property market.

In December 2003, Ho Bee successfully tendered for two plots of

land for residential development in Sentosa Cove, Sentosa Island.

From the first condominium in this world-class waterfront district, The

Berth by the Cove, and the first terrace houses, The Berthside, to the

unique winning proposal for Coral Island, Ho Bee is at the forefront

of developments at Singapores prestigious new address Sentosa

Cove.

At the inaugural MIPIM Asia Awards held in Hong Kong, The Berth

by the Cove emerged as the winner in the Residential Developments

category. MIPIM Asia Awards is designed to honour the most innovative

and outstanding buildings in Asia.

Ho Bee is proud to be the pioneer who would shape the new landscape

of residential living in Singapore.
