| Taman Bukit
Sepangar
http://wahmie.com/2009/bukitSepangar.htm Taman Bukit Sepangar sits on top of rolling hills and
surrounded by greeneries with clean and refreshing air. 380 acres of undulating landscape, located adjacent to Taman
Indah Permai along Jalan Sepangar. Taman Bukit Sepangar is well
linked via Sulaman Highway, Inanam bypass and off Jalan Tuaran.
It is also 5 minutes drive away from Nexus Karambunai Resort and
Shangrila Rasa Ria Resort. Api Api and Marina Court RM2500-RM3000 per sf for Centre Point & Wisma Merdeka.
Indah Court flooded with good tenant group and rental yield. Indah Court has been appreciated a lot lately especially when all the new developments of condominium and apartment selling for RM280-RM350 per sf while Indah court only fetch around RM 170- RM210 per sq foot. Indah Court will be “evergreen” portfolio simply because 70% of the government and private school in KK’s located here with less than 2KM radar or walking distance. With the threat of potential rising petrol cost in the future, a lot of people will continue to purchase nearby city centre property as their dream home to save time and cost over the long term. Further more this is where all potential good tenant like teachers, doctors, government staff and the most important double income family group which assure further the rental repayment capability.
This property is located about 8KM from KK City Centre with huge numbers of units. Even though the numbers of unit is huge but bear in mind, they are surrounded by matured commercial and industrial activities mainly from Bundusan, Damai, Luyang and Lintas. With the completion of the highway last month, I believe the demand and price will continue to be steady and sustainable. |
