In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Mah Sing Group said the proposed development is expected to have an estimated gross development value of RM1.01 billion and will proceed in two phases.

“Named M Aspira, the project will comprise approximately 1,600 residential units across 1.50 hectares, and an additional 800 units of Residensi Madani on a one-hectare site within Taman Desa, located off Jalan Klang Lama and the East-West Link Expressway,” it said.

The property developer said the acquisition marks the group’s third land deal in 2024, following the acquisition of land in Sepang, Selangor for RM100.72 million and Pulai, Johor for RM103.7 million.

It said the acquisition is not expected to materially impact the group’s earnings for the fiscal year ending Dec 31, but is anticipated to contribute positively in the future, pending completion in the first half of 2025.

In a separate statement, Mah Sing founder and group managing director Leong Hoy Kum highlighted the development’s appeal to urbanites, first-time homebuyers, and international investors, blending urban vibrancy with suburban tranquillity.

“This is one of the last pieces of development land in this mature location in Kuala Lumpur and we believe there is strong pent-up demand for the products that we have planned.

“The surrounding neighbourhoods have mainly older residential projects and it is timely for us to offer well-designed homes with a good concept and facilities for the upgraders as well as first-time homebuyers from the surrounding established townships,” he added.
