Nusajaya
UEM Land Holdings Bhd, the country's biggest property developer by market value, aims for record sales of RM3 billion this year, after exceeding its own sales forecast of RM2 billion last year.
The aggressive target will continue to be driven by demand in the Klang Valley, where the group plans to offer new residential and commercial units in Mont' Kiara, Kuala Lumpur and at townships in Bangi and Kajang. The company is also looking down south to propel its sales to new heights.
Since 2006, UEM Land has handed over 3,500 homes in Nusajaya, most of which were sold in recent years. "We have very low stocks of unsold units," its managing director and CEO Datuk Wan Abdullah Wan Ibrahim said.
However, analysts have voiced concerns that property prices in Johor could have "overshot" due to short-term hype over the past two years.
Developers like UEM Land are banking on Johor's close proximity to Singapore and recent tightening of the property market there to lure new buyers for homes in Nusajaya.
There is also growing concern that property demand may cool this year, due to economic uncertainties at home and abroad.
