佔152英畝‧耗資40億 打造沿海商業住宅中心 - The Light沿海發展計劃推介禮

（檳城23日訊）由怡保工程（IJM）產業私人有限公司所推展的The Light沿海發展計劃，占地152英畝及總發展值為40億令吉，將打造為世界級商業與居住中心。

檳州首席部長丹斯里許子根博士主持這項推介禮時指出，這是10年前就簽署的合約計劃，當時怡保工程在投標下，獲得承建日落洞大道，而這項沿海發展計劃也是其中的一項。

他指出，在承建日落洞大道計劃下，怡保工程需建設1500間每間價值4萬2000令吉的廉價屋及4000間價值7萬5000令吉的中廉價屋，而至目前為止怡保工程已興建了超過2000間中廉價屋與廉價屋。

他說，怡保工程已分階段實現了承諾，還建了E-gate與特易購霸市，成為新的活動中心，適合各階層年齡。

許子根也歡迎投資者，在大馬作為第二家園的計劃下，購買這兒的產業。

此外，受詢及若發展海嘯這些沿海計劃該如何面對時，許子根說發生的可能性很低，而且這項計劃不是在直落巴巷或浮羅山背。

怡保工程總執行長拿督陳文成指出，該公司目前在檳城擁有400英畝土地，而與峇都丁宜合作的發展計劃還在計劃中。

陳文成說，這項沿海發展計劃只是與檳城大橋為鄰，屆時從檳城大橋而來，一路上可以看到這項發展計劃的景色。

此外，他說，興建廉價屋與中廉價屋計劃將持續進行，需要數年時間完成。

The Light發展計劃共有152英畝發展地段，是濱海區338英畝填海地的一部份。

是項計劃乃檳城首個綜合海濱住宅與商業區發展計劃，高達65億令吉。

計劃共分成3期進行，第一期的發展為1186住宅單位，第二期為商業區，如辦公室、酒店，購物消費區如家庭購物廣場、商場、公園等，第三期為海濱公園。

第一期工程預定在2010年完成，The Light整個計劃將在10至15年內完成。

IJM eyes RM1.2b toll road deal

IJM has expressed interest in the Penang Outer Ring Road, but its chief executive officer did not say if the firm would bid on its own or with partners.

---

CONSTRUCTION group IJM Corp Bhd may bid for a job to own and build a RM1.2 billion toll highway in Penang, its chief executive officer and managing director Datuk Krishnan Tan said.

"Since we have been active in Penang for some time, we will consider it," Krishnan said after the launch of its latest project in the island state yesterday.

IJM is the second company after Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd to express an interest in the Penang Outer Ring Road (PORR).

The government announced in September that it will call a tender for the project, the first toll road to be tendered out in Malaysia.

Krishnan did not say if IJM will bid on its own or with partners.

The PORR, initiated a decade ago, is one of three major infrastructure projects in Penang under the Ninth Malaysia Plan. The others are the Second Penang Bridge and the Penang Monorail.

IJM's property business began in Penang in 1983 and the company today boasts a landbank on Penang island and Seberang Prai totalling 160 hectares.

Yesterday, Penang Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon launched IJM's RM6.5 billion "The Light" waterfront city development.

The mixed residential and commercial development, to be built on part of 135.2ha of reclaimed land along Penang's eastern coastline, will be done by IJM's subsidiary, Jelutong Development Sdn Bhd (JDSB).

In 1997, JDSB was awarded the privatised construction of the Jelutong Expressway by the Penang state government.

As part of the privatisation agreement, JDSB was granted the right to reclaim 130ha for development.

The Light is being touted by IJM as a showcase of the best in integrated waterfront living. It will include residential, recreational, entertainment, business, hospitality, education and commercial components in one hub.

"The project will be developed in three phases, with 16.8ha in Phase One set aside for the development of six parcels of high-end waterfront residential development comprising 1,186 units," Krishnan said.

The second phase, covering 41.2ha, is slated to be developed into a commercial and retail city.

In addition to four hotels, an exhibition centre, banquet and conference facilities, and a waterfront amphitheatre, Phase Two will encompass shopping malls and waterfront eateries.

Krishnan said the sales launch for the project will take place next year. Construction is scheduled to start in late 2008.
