MCT to unveil RM3.6bil residential projects

MCT Consortium Bhd is set to launch RM3.6bil worth of affordable residential property projects in Subang Jaya and Cyberjaya.

Managing director Datuk Seri Tong Seech Wi (pic) said the landed property projects would be priced between RM500,000 and RM700,000 each. The other half would be serviced apartments priced up to RM500,000.

MCT Consortium’s current focus would be on affordable housing within this price range due to current soft commercial property outlook.

Tong was speaking to reporters after GW Plastics Holdings Bhd’s shareholders gave their approval for the reverse takeover by MCT Consortium at an EGM on Thursday.

He pointed out the projects would be carried out in phases and they would hinge on the market outlook for residential projects.

“Our strategy is to focus on long-term gain and not short-term,” he said about MCT Consortium which has a total gross development (GDV) of RM9.43bil of projects.

MCT Consortium will focus on the affordable market sector to deliver quality products in strategic locations such as Cyberjaya.

“We are optimistic as demand for landed properties and products in the affordable market segment have been resilient, especially in the Greater KL area. Cyberjaya stands to benefit from improvements in accessibility and infrastructure, and our properties are located in close enough proximity to Putrajaya, KLIA and KLIA 2,” he said.

MCT Consortium chairman and co-founder, Tan Sri Barry Goh Ming Choon said the company, which started as a builder in 1999, has successfully transformed to become a property developer and asset owner.

“The adjusted net assets of MCT Consortium stands at RM1.154bil while the market value of the real properties has been appraised by independent valuers at RM1.47bil,” it said.

MCT Consortium has leveraged on its modular construction technique and design-and-build capacities; and successfully completed five property development projects in USJ One Avenue and its flagship development, One City since 2004, totalling over RM1bil in GDV. Both of these projects are in USJ, Subang Jaya.

Of the RM9.43bil worth of projects, MCT Consortium completed projects with a total GDV of RM1.08bil spread over 16.2 acres in Subang Jaya, including USJ One Avenue and Park Residence @ USJ One Avenue.

Its on-going projects have a GDV of RM2.26bil covering 37.1 acres and future projects with a GDV of RM6.09bil over 183.8 acres.
