BERJAYA Land Bhd’s subsidiary Berjaya Golf Resort Bhd has handed over the keys for its first affordable homes project, Residensi Lanai in Bukit Jalil, to purchasers on Feb 25.

Residensi Lanai was launched in 2017 under the Federal Territories Affordable Housing Project (RUMAWIP), which is an initiative by Kuala Lumpur City Hall to help first-time buyers own a home in Kuala Lumpur.

Residensi Lanai is a 29-storey condominium with a five-storey podium car park built on 2.56 acres of freehold land in Bukit Jalil. Each of its 648 units has a built-up area of 800 sq ft, comprising three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Berjaya Land CEO Syed Ali Shahul Hameed said one of the key indicators of a country’s progressive development is through its provision of sustainable housing and adequate infrastructure for its citizens.

In this regard, under the National Housing Policy, the government has introduced various programmes to provide more home ownership opportunities for Malaysians, especially the first-home buyers.

Besides Residensi Lanai, Berjaya has other affordable homes projects in the pipeline in Subang Heights, Shah Alam and Penang.

Berjaya Corporation Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Vincent Tan has pledged to contribute 20 acres of land located at Bestari Jaya in Selangor to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government for the purpose of building more affordable homes.

Located in the bustling township of Bukit Jalil, Residensi Lanai is surrounded by established neighbourhoods such as Sri Petaling and Old Klang Road.

It is also in close proximity to sporting and recreational facilities such as the Bukit Jalil National Sports Complex and the Bukit Jalil Recreational Park. Some of the condo units also offer a glimpse of the scenic Bukit Jalil Golf & Country Resort. – Feb 26, 2020
