CapitaLand seeks to expand in Malaysia

Developer aims to capitalise Malaysia's property market boom as its expected GDP grew by 6.5%.

CapitaLand Ltd is looking to expand its presence in Malaysia’s real estate sector with the strong turnaround of the country’s economy at an expected gross domestic product of at least 6.5% this year.

According to CapitaLand Commercial Ltd vice president of marketing Catherine Yao, the company maintains a long-term view of Malaysia’s property market and is committed to being a long-term real estate player in the country.

“CapitaLand is one of the largest foreign real estate players in Malaysia today. It believes the market holds good potential and is actively looking for suitable sites to undertake more residential and commercial projects where appropriate,” she tells StarBizWeek.

To expand in the country, it will tap on its strengths in the residential, office, shopping mall and service residence business.

Quill Building 3 is one of the commercial buildings owned by Quill Capita Trust, CapitaLand’s listed entity in Malaysia.
Besides Kuala Lumpur, which the company has quite a large presence, CapitaLand is also looking at other parts of the Klang Valley and strong growth markets like Penang.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
