PETALING JAYA: Kerjaya Prospek (M) Sdn Bhd (KPSB), a unit of Kerjaya Prospek Group Bhd
, has accepted a letter of award from Apple 99 Development Sdn Bhd to undertake work for The Apple and Courtyard by Marriott development project in Malacca for RM213.75mil.
In a filing with the stock exchange, the construction and property development company said the contract was for the project’s main building works involving, among others, a 16-storey hotel building with 284 rooms known as Courtyard by Marriott, a 32-storey service suite building with 361 units of service apartments, and an eight-storey podium of car parks.
This is a joint-venture project between garment manufacturer-cum-property developer Yong Tai Bhd and Apple 99, according to the group.
The construction work, which will be undertaken by KPSB, is expected to start on Aug 1, 2016 and is slated for completion on Oct 31, 2018.

Additionally, the group has also declared a single-tier interim dividend of four sen per share for FY16 ending Dec 31.

“We have also declared a single-tier interim dividend of four sen per share to reward our shareholders,” said Kerjaya’s executive chairman Datuk Tee Eng Ho in a separate release to the exchange.
