GuocoLand to launch RM354m bungalow project in Rawang

KUALA LUMPUR: GuocoLand (Malaysia) Bhd, the property arm of Hong Leong Group, will launch the latest phase of its boutique bungalows called The Rise, with a gross development value of RM354 million, at its 1,000-acre (405ha) Emerald township in Rawang, Selangor on Saturday. “The Rise is the beginning of another exciting chapter of our premium home offerings which will go a long way in reinforcing Emerald’s appeal and market leadership in Rawang,” its managing director Tan Lee Koon said in a statement yesterday. “The pre-launch response has been encouraging. It speaks volumes about the  compelling features of the development and the increasing appeal of Emerald as a residential township.” Tan also said the soon-to-be-completed flyover and road upgrading at Jalan Batu Arang, near the Rawang toll plaza, will be beneficial to the area, given its strategic location near upcoming commercial developments. The Rise features a collection of six designs of two- and three-storey bungalow units on a 33.4-acre guarded enclave. This article first appeared in The Edge Financial Daily, on February 19, 2014.
