achieving a rapid 100 per cent take-up.”
Looking ahead, Datuk Ng will continue
to build a stronger foundation for SkyWorld
by unlocking its land bank and focusing on
talent management. “Our promise to deliver
an integrated sky living experience means
creating a harmonious environment
reminiscent of kampong life. It means being
compliant with the principles of the Green
Building Initiative and thinking outside to
box to create spaces with an abundance of
facilities, amenities and areas for spending
time with family and friends,” he notes.
By the end of this year, SkyWorld plans
to develop projects worth more than RM1.6
billion in GDV. Located throughout Kuala
Lumpur, these projects will include the
780-unit SkyMeridien in Sentul, The Valleys
at SkySierra, a 4.5-acre commercial hub in
Setapak, and the remaining phases of the
SkyAwani Series 3, which launched in
February this year. Despite the soft property
market, Datuk Ng believes these new
developments will attract SkyWorld’s targeted
middle-class and urban-affluent demographic
due to their appealing location and price.
Datuk Ng also keeps a close eye on
the property trend in transit-oriented
developments. “Because our developments
are positioned in mature and strategic
locations throughout Kuala Lumpur, the
connectivity and accessibility to public
transport is already in place – unlike newer
developments located on the outskirts,” he
explains. “In the next two to three years, we
plan to undertake an IPO to further enhance
our financial position and, after 2020, we’d
like to explore markets outside Kuala
Lumpur, both domestic and overseas.”DATUK NG
