S P Setia records sales of RM2.56bil in 1H23

S P Setia Bhd said it registered total sales of RM2.56bil in the first half of 2023 with local projects contributing RM2.19bil or 86% of the sales.

In a statement, the group said the central region was the biggest contributor to the sales with RM1.49bil, while the southern and northern region contributed RM589mil and RM74mil respectively. Meanwhile, international sales largely made up the remaining sales.

As at June 30, 2023, S P Setia secured total bookings of RM470mil.

“The strong performance of S P Setia in the first half of 2023 demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality developments and solutions.

“We are pleased with these positive results, which reflect the strong demand for our projects, both locally and internationally,” said S P Setia president and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai.

According to Choong, the group’s earnings visibility in the short- to medium-term is robust with 44 ongoing projects and unbilled sales of RM6.82bil as at June 30, 2023.

“Despite the global challenges posed by persistent inflation and higher interest rates, the group remains optimistic about achieving a noteworthy performance for the financial year 2023,” he said.

In the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, the property developer recorded a net profit of RM43.06mil, down from RM80.09mil in the previous corresponding quarter.

The group’s earnings per share fell to 1.06 sen from 1.97 sen in the comparative quarter.

Revenue for the quarter under review contracted to RM942.72mil from RM1.02bil.

The group said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia the weaker performance was mainly owing to the property development segment, which recorded lower revenue and profit due to lower contributions from Singapore and the Central region.

The segment was also impacted by higher financing cost from interest rate hikes, unfavourable foreign exchange movement and a higher share of loss from joint ventures.

For the six months period to June 30, 2023, S P Setia recorded a net profit of RM98.51mil on revenue of RM1.91bil against net profit of RM147.59mil and revenue of RM1.89bil.

Setia Bayuemas Unveils Laelia Terraced Homes in Klang

Setia Bayuemas, a vibrant township development by S P Setia, is thrilled to introduce its latest residential project, Laelia double-storey terraced homes. The launch event will take place on July 30, 2023.

Situated on sprawling 7.3-acre land, Laelia comprises 98 freehold units of terraced homes, including a loft-style home (44 units) and a conventional double-storey terrace (54 units). The project carries a gross development value of RM71.75 million.

Razly Mohammad Rus, Divisional General Manager of S P Setia, said, “Laelia is an ideal modular starter home for first-time homebuyers and young families seeking an affordable landed property in the prime location of southern Klang. In addition to the conventional double-storey terrace, we are excited to offer the loft-style terraced home, which combines flexible space and modern apartment-style living in a well-planned township.”

Placemaking for the larger community

Jul

2023

This article first appeared in City & Country, The Edge Malaysia Weekly on July 17, 2023 – July 23, 2023

The slight whiff of the sea breeze made me think for a moment that I was at the beach, but this was not the case, as I was in Setia Bayuemas Lake Park. This 10.25-acre park is situated in the ongoing development of Setia Bayuemas, a 545-acre freehold mixed-development in Southern Klang.

This centrepiece of Setia Bayuemas is a community park that allows residents to enjoy the outdoors and learn about the plants in the park. A careful study was done to rehabilitate the land surrounding the lake and ensure that the right plants were brought in.

These efforts have impressed the judges, who named the park the Gold winner in the Landscape Planning category of The Edge Malaysia-ILAM Sustainable Landscape Awards, a feature of The Edge Malaysia Best Managed & Sustainable Property Awards 2023.

“For us at Setia Bayuemas, it is an achievement. It has put us up there in acknowledgement of what we have pushed for and achieved so far,” says S P Setia Bhd senior executive vice-president Datuk Yuslina Mohd Yunus.

“We have [also] turned a retention pond into what you see right now. Three years ago, you would not have seen what you see today. This park is something that we believe we have contributed to the community in this area.”

Setia Bayuemas Lake Park is a 10.25-acre public park. The former retention pond has been transformed into a vibrant community space.

A place for nature and outdoor activities

Yuslina explains that the park was built for placemaking, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, when people started to appreciate their health, nature and being out of the house more.

With the placemaking park, S P Setia believes it has achieved its objective of encouraging people to go out and enjoy the outdoors. (Photo by S P Setia)Mohammad Rus concurs: “Five years back, this area was a bit sleepy and needed a boost. So, this park is not only a place for communal gathering but also for placemaking. It also offers the community a place that can be used as a recreational centre.

“This is also a multi-purpose park, where we aim to educate the community about the importance of nature and sustainability. This park also enhances the economic and property values of the area.”

Respecting the land

Coming up with the idea for a park that would draw people was the first step. Actualising it was the next, and that came with several challenges.

S P Setia senior manager landscape of Setia Bayuemas Mohd Nizam Duaji explains: “We engaged an ecologist because the area has been there for quite some time. So, we needed to study what was happening and what existed in the area. We didn’t want to destroy everything during the construction of the park. We took into account all the input from the ecologist; then, along with the landscape architect, we planned from there.

“Whatever we place in the park is according to the ecological point of view. That is why we have developed certain areas as a fish hatchery, where we breed the fish before we release them into the lake. We also placed a tree trunk in the lake for migratory birds to rest,” he says, adding that the lake was originally filled with water plants, which didn’t allow much space for fish to breed.

Razly chimes in, saying: “Before we started, we did an inventory of the existing flora and fauna with the help of the ecologist.”

Nizam says a study of the quality of water showed that it had a unique quality that meant only certain types of fish species could survive in it. It was a mix of saltwater and freshwater, or brackish water, and it also reduced the breeding of mosquitoes.

Razly says baseline data from the study allows the developer to monitor the growth and progress of the park’s biodiversity.

Asked about their favourite spot in the park, Yuslina says: “It’s the walkout spot called Melaleuca

Birds are common visitors to the lake area, and the abundance of dragonflies indicates that the water quality of the lake is goodDeck because you can enjoy both the fountain and the breeze there. You get the breeze only in certain spots along the lake.”

Razly chooses the same spot as well, from which one can take in the view and enjoy the ambience with the breeze and shade.

Nizam says, “I like the area towards the end of the park where there is a shelter. You can view the full perspective of the park from there, which is the nearest point to the fountain. The area has special meaning for me because we managed to turn an unsightly area into one where people love to sit and relax.”

For safety purposes, lifebuoys are placed strategically around the lake

Secure and safe space

As this is a public space, ensuring residents feel secure and safe is paramount. Razly says: “We realised that this was a huge lake and posed certain issues with regard to safety. That is why we have lifebuoys at a few spots around the park in case of any untoward incidents. We are also aware that, because it is open to the public, there is an issue of security as well. So, we erected perimeter fencing around the park and provided security guards as well.”

Yuslina says that as more houses are built in the area and more people move in, the developer will add more lights to the park, which is open from 7am to 7pm, so that it will be even safer to use and be open for a longer period of time.

She says, “One of the challenges is striking a balance so that nature is not disturbed and we don’t have to spend so much maintaining it.”

The developer has installed tags identifying the plants and trees in the park
For now, S P Setia is paying for the maintenance of the park but when it is time to hand it over to the authorities, Yuslina says, it will be easy for them to maintain, as much thought has been put into the park to ensure it is practical and functional. Nizam is in close contact with the authorities to ensure they are able to continue with the maintenance of the park.

Says Nizam, “We practise sustainable landscape maintenance. For example, we did not throw away all the cut branches and grass clippings. The maintenance contractor collects everything and turns it into compost. So, we save costs in transporting the landscape waste.”

Razly adds: “One of the sustainable features in maintaining the park, which we will convey to MPK (Majlis Perbandaran Klang), is that we use water from the lake to water the plants. Also, the water quality has improved because of the aeration that we have done, so it can be used to water the plants.”

Setia Bayuemas Lake Park has come a long way from when it was just a retention pond. It has been transformed into a vibrant and engaged space today, which goes to show that working with nature results in a win for everyone.

Aspire Tower At KL Eco City Sets A New Benchmark In Kuala Lumpur’s New Central Business District

Multi-national corporations and companies big and small have all continued with remote working or hybrid work arrangements adopted during the pandemic, irrefutably changing the attitude towards workspaces or office spaces. Organisations have either right-sized office spaces or implemented a flexible approach to workspaces.

“The pandemic has certainly accelerated the adoption of remote and hybrid work arrangements,” Teh Young Khean, Executive Director, Office Strategy & Solutions, Knight Frank Malaysia, affirms.

“Organisations have continued to embrace the new work models, and some organisations, particularly the multinationals (MNCs), have fully transitioned a portion of their functions to remote or hybrid work arrangements as they are still able to function efficiently and effectively as before. Therefore, choosing the right size of office, optimising office space to custom-fit an organisation’s needs, is important for both short-term and long-term business needs.”

YY Lau, Country Head of JLL Property Services (M) Sdn Bhd, agrees. “In today’s post-pandemic world, employees may not be in the office five days a week, nor will they require dedicated desks or work stations. Therefore, office plans need to allow for flexible planning and different types of spaces. Office layouts should also include not just spaces for work and meetings, but also spaces for collaboration, creativity and enhanced productivity.”

Developers of modern office buildings have taken heed and are responding to this trend. One developer that has embraced this shift with keen astuteness is S P Setia Berhad, the developer of KL Eco City.

Located in the prime fringe of Kuala Lumpur city centre, KL Eco City is an award-winning 25-acre integrated and transit-oriented development, comprising residential towers, commercial office towers, a 5-star business hotel, and lifestyle spaces. The new global district stands in the centre of the new Golden Triangle, bordered by the affluent Damansara Heights residential area in the north, cosmopolitan Bangsar in the centre and south, and the KL Sentral transportation hub in the east.

“Supply of quality commercial spaces in the fringe of Kuala Lumpur is relatively new and rentals are more affordable compared to some properties in the Kuala Lumpur city centre,” Lau observes. “Many office clusters in the KL fringe have been developed in line with the principles of Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs), with walking-distance accessibility to public and private transportation services. This, together with its convenient location of being close to residential areas, and its well-developed infrastructure, facilities and amenities that include shopping centres, hotels, parks and other public spaces, have made KL fringe a popular choice for tenants. Its office component also provides flexibility in tenure as there are both leasehold and stratified properties available.”

Teh also notes: “The market demand for prime (Grade A) commercial offices in the KL fringe has remained steady, with healthy rental and occupancy levels. Indeed, we have observed that rental rates for the prime (Grade A) commercial offices in KL Eco City have steadily risen since the completion of its buildings in late 2017. This rise can be attributed to its connectivity to an integrated transportation infrastructure and the wide array of amenities and facilities within the development that support work-life balance. The developer of KL Eco City has also paid close attention to ensuring spaces within and without the office buildings encourage collaboration and innovation, besides offering companies flexibility over their space requirements, scalability and tenancy duration.”

Connected to an LRT-KTM Integrated Rail Hub just two LRT stations away from KL Sentral, KL Eco City benefits from being a short commute to downtown Kuala Lumpur and other major satellite cities in the Klang Valley via the nearby Light Rail Transit and commuter train services, as well as a comprehensive arterial road network offering multiple links to major highways. A unique double-level road system within the development also facilitates ingress and egress towards major roads and highways including the Federal Highway, New Pantai Expressway, Jalan Bangsar, and Jalan Maarof. In addition, an extensive series of connecting pods, pedestrian links and green spaces integrate the various buildings within the development.

KL Eco City is also a designated Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Cybercentre, whereby businesses within the development may enjoy various tax and investment incentives, as well as access to world-class ICT infrastructure and support services.

Yulia Nikulicheva, Head of Research & Consultancy, JLL Property Services (M) Sdn Bhd, offers this insight: “The MSC status gives eligible companies significant financial and entrepreneurial benefits, including tax exemptions for up to 10 years; exemptions from import duties on multimedia equipment; and no restrictions on capital or talent sourcing, or on ownership structure. MSC-status companies will receive support from the government and its agencies in terms of provision of favourable business and technical environments for their operations.

“Global trends show that the presence of ICT-related businesses in mixed-use real estate projects has a positive impact on the overall performance of the real estate within these projects,” Nikulicheva adds. “The presence of ICT-related businesses should bring other companies into the area – some will be partners working in synergy with established companies, while some will be attracted by the positive image of the area and the strong pool of tenants.”

Organisations with offices in KL Eco City comprise a broad mix of multinationals and local businesses from diverse industries—ICT, financial services, e-commerce, FMCG and consulting, among others. They include Samsung Malaysia Electronics Head Office, Gilbratar BSN Head Office, Zurich Malaysia Head Office, J&T Express, F-Secure Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd, Veolia Water (Malaysia) Holding & Veolia Water Technologies, Zalora Malaysia, Shopee Malaysia, Klook Malaysia, Ace Group, Tech Titan Distribution Sdn Bhd, and SK Tiong Group.

Since its launch in 2011, KL Eco City has seen the successful completion of 15 office towers with an overall office occupancy of 92% despite the pandemic. Joining the ranks soon is Aspire Tower, the final, tallest corporate office tower in the development, and is targeted to be completed in the third quarter of this year.

Thoughtfully designed to include a landscaped deck as well as a prestigious and captivating main lobby to inspire creativity and collaboration among businesses, Aspire Tower aims to establish a dynamic corporate community. A Grade-A stratified office building, Aspire Tower offers a variety of contemporary office spaces, including customisable flexible workspaces, to meet the needs of different-sized businesses.

For instance, the Executive Offices offer compact, personable workspaces from 1,152sqft to 1,971sqft. These are excellent options for start-up companies seeking to leverage a prime locale and the presence of multinationals in the neighbourhood. Meanwhile, small and medium-sized enterprises may consider the spacious and flexible Signature Offices, which range from 3,623sqft to 16,393sqft. For large corporations, the Premier Offices offer 18,690sqft of prime workspace, and occupies the entire floor. This option creates an open and flexible business environment.

At the highest level of the 42-storey Aspire Tower are the Sky Dining restaurants & lounges. These highly sought-after commercial spaces, which are perfect to operate F&B establishments with city skyline views, are available for outright purchase by companies. Other commercial spaces to cater for the serviced premises, such as a gym with adjoining swimming pool and business centre, are also available for outright purchase by companies.

In Aspire Tower, a total of 16 high-speed elevators in two lift lobbies serve 19 levels of Executive and Signature Offices in the Low Zone, and 18 levels of Premier Offices in the High Zone. A state-of-the-art security system—including the latest card-access system, professionally-monitored Closed Circuit Televisions (CCTVs), ultra-modern Visitor Management System (VMS) and catalogued turnstiles—ensures a secure environment from lobby to rooftop of the building.

Aspire Tower occupants also enjoy the unique advantage of owning their personal car parking spaces, ensuring ease and convenience. This is something that is beyond the norm of purchasing an office unit. With the parking ownership, proprietors would not need to go through the hassle of renewing season passes or competing against floating bays.

Retail and lifestyle options can be found in INC, formerly known as KL Eco City Mall. Fully owned by S P Setia, INC is centred on the values of “Live, Learn, Work, Play” through the pillars known as LivINC, LearnINC, WorkINC and PlayINC. It’s about bringing together the community through sustainability, knowledge, innovation and networking. INC targets to achieve its occupancy rate of 80% by the end of 2023, with tenants such as TMG Mart, Camp5, In Design Lab, Perfect Healthcare one-stop healthcare centre, RFC Fitness, Bridge Academy and more. The footfall within KL Eco City is projected to be at 15,000 people approximately, and the mall is set to play a role in encouraging business and community growth in Kuala Lumpur. For even more choices, a short walk across the covered pedestrian bridge will take occupants to The Gardens and Mid-Valley Megamall.

For business travellers to KL Eco City, the new Amari Kuala Lumpur Hotel offers 252 luxurious guest rooms, complemented by four dining options providing elevated dining experiences; modern business facilities and conveniences; an infinity swimming pool; and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.

“KL Eco City is an example of a well-planned and well-delivered Transit-Oriented Development (TOD),” Lau says. “It is connected to LRT and KTM stations that are within walking distance, and is serviced by several highways. It is anchored by office and retail clusters, and also includes residential and hotel components. The project is a good example of the ‘Work. Live. Play.’ concept, where places are designed to bring people, activities, buildings and public spaces together, within easy walking distances between them.”

Teh adds, “Currently, we are also seeing increasing efforts by tenants to embrace Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) principles. This is being driven by MNCs and entities with international ambitions. Hence, there is an increasing demand from tenants for office buildings with facilities and amenities that will enable their organisations to achieve their ESG goals. With its integrated spaces that are designed according to the principles of TOD and buildings that have received Green Building Index and LEED Gold certification, KL Eco City is also leading the way in responding to this demand.”

Aspire Tower sets a towering benchmark for premium commercial space in Kuala Lumpur’s new central business district, offering a prestigious address; modern, secure office spaces; convenient access to transportation services and amenities; and optimal return on investment.
