CapitaLand’s joint-venture residential development with Malaysia’s ParkCity Group in Kuala Lumpur has achieved strong sales during its priority sales launch over the weekend of July 27 and 28. The 505-unit development, called Park Regent, saw more than 353 units (70%) sold at an average selling price of RM 1,100 ($365) psf.

Park Regent is in the Desa ParkCity township in Kuala Lumpur, and comprises six apartment types of one- to four-bedroom units. Prices start from RM 860,000, and units range from 872 sq ft for a one-bedder, to 4,887 sq ft for a four-bedder. About 80% of buyers are Malaysians.

The keen interest from homebuyers stems from the development’s attractive attributes, including well-designed homes, excellent location in a coveted neighbourhood, and its host of community amenities and green spaces, says Ronald Tay, CEO of CapitaLand Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia, residential and retail.

“Desa ParkCity is currently home to an international community of approximately 16,000 residents – about 80% are Malaysians, while the balance is made up of a wide array of nationalities and expatriates,” says Joseph Lau, group CEO of ParkCity. “Park Regent reflects ParkCity and CapitaLand’s commitment to creating differentiated products that suit the needs of customers.”
