The Linque Cochrane by IJM

bennomin — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 00:26:31 +0800

PETALING JAYA (June 15): Malaysia Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) and IJM Land Bhd have unveiled The Linque, a transit-oriented development (TOD) with an estimated gross development value of around RM600 million directly integrated with Cochrane MRT Station, marking MRT Corp's first TOD initiative in the Klang Valley.

Developed through a strategic partnership between MRT Corp and IJM Land, The Linque will comprise approximately 586 serviced apartment units with retail components and direct covered access to Cochrane MRT Station.

Loke said transit-oriented development was not simply about constructing projects beside train stations.

"It is about creating integrated communities where people can live, work, shop and travel with greater convenience while reducing dependence on private vehicles, ensuring that public transport infrastructure continues to deliver value long after construction has been completed," he said.

bennomin — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 15:04:37 +0800

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 4): Gamuda Bhd (KL:GAMUDA) said on Thursday it is partnering with Taylor's Education Group to redevelop a prime commercial site in SS15, Subang Jaya.
With an estimated gross development value of RM500 million, the redevelopment will entail serviced apartments, purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), and retail spaces, the company said in a statement. The project is targeted for completion in November 2029.
The project, located 500m from the SS15 LRT station, enjoys close proximity to major facilities within a 5km radius including Subang Medical Centre, the Sunway Pyramid shopping mall, Subang Parade, NU Empire.
It also has access to key arterial roads including Persiaran Kewajipan, Jalan SS15/7, and Jalan SS15/8, aside from highways like the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) and the Subang-Kelana Jaya Bypass.
The project will add 401 bedrooms to Taylor’s PBSA portfolio “with the ambition to expand student accommodation inventory as demand strengthens”, said Taylor’s executive chairman Datuk Loy Teik Ngan.
““The SS15 prime site has long stood as a legacy landmark for Taylor’s, and this redevelopment marks a bold step in reimagining its role for the future,” Loy said.
“While large-scale townships remain our foundation, select urban regeneration projects like SS15 allow us to contribute meaningfully to matured neighbourhoods through smart design, connectivity and integration,” said Chu Wai Lune, the chief executive officer of Gamuda’s property group Gamuda Land.
By retaining ownership of the PBSA while collaborating with a trusted development partner, Taylor’s property investment and asset management unit Taylor’s Assets is making a significant capital investment to expand its portfolio, the statement read.

Sunway Cochrane KL

bennomin — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 23:11:43 +0800

Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, 19th April, 2021 ~ Sunway Berhad’s (Sunway) wholly-owned subsidiary, Sunway Rahman Putra Sdn Bhd, has today signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire a 6.59-acre parcel of prime freehold land at Jalan Cochrane, Kuala Lumpur from Mutiara Rini Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boustead Properties Berhad, for a purchase consideration of RM233.4 million.
The land is strategically located for a transit-oriented mixed development comprising serviced apartments with a retail podium and is located directly opposite the Cochrane MRT station and just a stone’s throw away from MyTOWN Shopping Centre. The station is part of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line and brings commuters directly to the heart of Kuala Lumpur and other major suburbs like Cheras and Damansara.
Most significantly, the station is just one stop away from the Tun Razak Exchange (“TRX”), the future International Financial District of Kuala Lumpur, which has now reached its inflection point, with the recent completions of Exchange 106, Menara Prudential and HSBC TRX. TRX is expected to house more than 45,000 employees in the near future.
Commenting on the acquisition, Sunway Property’s Managing Director, Sarena Cheah said, “We are extremely excited with this acquisition as it will strengthen our presence in this vicinity where we have already developed and invested substantially in the very successful Sunway Velocity and Sunway Velocity TWO, both of which are MSC Cybercentre status developments. We believe the future is even more exciting with the upcoming completions in TRX, which will bring in a substantial population of high income, professional workers. We can imagine them wanting to stay at our proposed development here which is just one station away from TRX, with all the amenities at its doorstep and at a much better value.”
Located at the fringe of the Golden Triangle, Cochrane has gentrified substantially over the years with Sunway playing a key role in the process. Sunway Velocity, with a GDV of over RM4.0 billion, is just 200 meters away from the site and is a highly successful integrated development with over 23 acres of freehold land. The development encompasses Sunway Velocity Mall, a 1-million square feet net lettable area shopping mall, Sunway Velocity Hotel, a 350-room hotel, Sunway Medical Centre Velocity, a 240-bed medical centre, Sunway College @ Velocity, two office towers with a total floor area of 375,000 square feet and residential units. The developer’s latest development, Sunway Velocity TWO, with a GDV of RM2 billion, is located on another 8.5-acre site right opposite Sunway Velocity and is linked to 3 MRT and 2 LRT stations.
The vendor, Boustead Group, has also developed significant landmarks in the vicinity, with MyTOWN Shopping Centre located just diagonally across this site and One Cochrane Residences further up the road. With the upcoming completion of The Exchange TRX Mall, residents at the proposed development on this site will be spoilt for choice when it comes to retail options.
Parents with school-going children will undoubtedly appreciate the selection of reputable schools that this neighbourhood has to offer, such as Tsun Jin Primary School, Taylor’s International School and Sunway College @ Velocity, all within a 1-km radius.
Connectivity of the site via major roads is also enviable with Jalan Cochrane feeding traffic to major highways such as the Maju Expressway (MEX), the SMART tunnel and the Sungai Besi Expressway.
Touching on the proposed development on the site, Sarena said, “The proposed gross development value will be at least RM1.15 billion. The development will comprise serviced apartments that sit on top of a retail podium, which will benefit from road frontages on all four sides of the site.”
This acquisition is Master Community Developer, Sunway Property’s, second landbank acquisition for the year and reflects its confidence in the recovery of the property market in the coming years.
Cheah adds, “The property market in Malaysia has experienced several challenging years but we have faith that with economic recovery post-Covid, the demand will return, especially in a strong location such as Cochrane where there is a convergence of convenience and affordability – a combination that has become scarce in strong city locations. This exciting mixed-development will be highly desirable amongst our multiple customer segments.”
Currently, Sunway’s total landbank stands at 3,339 acres with a potential gross development value of RM52.1 billion over a total development period of more than 15 years, paving the way for resilient growth.

MRCB KL SENTRAL REDEVELOPMENT

bennomin — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 14:52:48 +0800

PUTRAJAYA: The Cabinet has agreed in principle on the re-development of transportation hub Kuala Lumpur Sentral and this will be without having any financial implication to the government, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.

He said the Cabinet, which met on Wednesday (Aug 2), has agreed for the re-development to be done by Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB).

“The project will be done via privatisation at a cost estimated to be more than RM1bil and will be borne by MRCB.

“It will not have any cost on the government,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday.

Loke said in return, the company would be given the rights to develop the area above the station with commercial and residential buildings.

He said the re-development of Kuala Lumpur Sentral station was necessary to meet the increasing number of passengers using the various modes of transportation there.

He said the station was originally designed to cater for 100,000 passenger capacity daily but the number of passengers had reached 200,000.

The redevelopment will also allow for the station to be equipped with more sophisticated security systems, including the use of artificial intelligence which can monitor the movements of people,” he said.

One of the conditions stipulated by the government is that the re-development would not affect the operations of all the public transportation.

“The stations will be at the same location and will operate as usual with no disruptions,” he added.

The minister said that MRCB and the Public-Private Partnership Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department would hold discussions on the re-development plans and were given two years to finalise the agreement.

Plans to upgrade the heavily-used transport hub had been in the pipeline for some time.

In 2021, then transport minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong had said that the government was mulling a major upgrade on Kuala Lumpur Sentral Station.

The station is a transit-oriented development, opened on April 16, 2001 and is designed as an intermodal transport hub.

Damansara Uptown Condos- Uptown Residence

bennomin — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 01:05:50 +0800

Hi Boss,

Currently conducting a study on Uptown Residence. Couldn’t search for the thread for this development. It’s rather a low dense yet located at a strategic location. Just that the price pad is slightly on the higher side averaging 1.2k/ps….since uptown area has no more land for development that scarcity takes into account. Would highly appreciate your feedback on this development from investment perspective.

2nd secondhand car dealer land in Taman Megah

bennomin — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 23:35:51 +0800

After the completion of Megah Rise in Taman Megah, it’s kinda hype as more influx of outsiders coming over SS24 Taman Megah to fix their craving, friends gathering etc.

Normally I have my mixed rice fixed at the corner store in the front row of shops in Taman Megah facing the LDP highway. A decent plot of land facing LDP highway that’s currently used as second hand car dealer seems to be quite interesting.

From internet, so far couldn’t get any data’s on who’s the land owners. Would be an interesting development coming in Taman Megah after Megah Rise?

Time will tell!!
