Austin Heights ramps up landbank

The Austin Heights group plans to increase its land to 1,000 acres in the next two or three years while continuing to focus on projects in Johor and Terengganu.

In an interview with FocusM, company management representative in Terengganu Low Wan Cheong says the company has a few hundred acres of land ready to be built on – close to 200 acres in Johor and 100 in Terengganu.

The privately-held group has more than RM1 bil in projects across the country, mainly in Johor and then Terengganu. For FY ended April 2013, the Austin Heights group recorded a profit-after-tax of RM49.7 mil, on the back of RM168.9 mil in turnover.

Austin Heights has come a long way from its maiden voyage in the late 1990s with the success in Johor Bahru of the Datin Halimah condominium development project, valued at RM60-70 mil.

Its flagship in Terengganu is Dataran Austin, a new commercial area in Wakaf Tembesu, 10km north of Kuala Terengganu. Businesses have begun to set up shop in the development; a Mydin hypermarket is under rapid construction.

While others had seen no potential there, developer Austin Heights (Tgn) Sdn Bhd saw things differently. As in JB, it went after a piece of land that had been auctioned off.

“People associated the auctioned-off land with drug addicts and the like. They didn’t see beyond that,” Low tells FocusM.
Austin Heights bought the Terengganu land for RM13.5 mil from bleeding Tropical Veneer when it was auctioned off by KPMG. Low says the company paid RM20 mil, including for conversion and so forth.

Buyers are starting to come out in full force now. I think many of them just want to avoid further price hikes as 1 Apt 2015 GST implementation draws closer.

but austin height properties always attract strong interest since their first projects there, due to lower pricing. this developer adopt a no nonsense approach, no DIBS , no major rebates and so on, it's 10% cheque up front upon booking. but they keep price points as affordable as possible.
what does this mean? landed cluster 888k- 960k people queue, and these are locals too, not singaporeans.

also - eco summer heard people queueing up also, for launching / unit selection today. 668k garden terraces..

The queue for key collecfion is fast building up. Is this for your own stay, weekend home or for renting out? Assuming that you will be carrying out renovation work, have you lined up any vendor? I have contacted numerous Interior Designers/contractors over email/whatsapp, while a couple are quite responsive, none are impressive. Any recommendations from bros/sis here will be appreciated.

that also means your investment in the DST in desa tebrau is quite safe now, barring any catastrophic macroeconomic shock. selling on VP?

Yes, it is in a fairly safe zone now. I feel like keeping it for eternity, seeing how locals are buying up landed properties in Johor. It seems that most Malaysians from or near Johor are not keen to retire in Singapore but in Iskandar instead. I may hold it empty until someone offers an irresistible price.

Sorry; I am unable to participate in PM, including sending at the moment.

Congratulations on your key collection. I will be collecting my key a couple of weeks later, after I make the final payments. I have however, begun meeting IDs to look into renovations to make the currently bare house a more pleasant home to move into.

Have you sourced for any renovation works; and have you found any that you are impressed with?

Until I am able to PM, I may just have to be more discrete when posting publicly.
