FCW acquires 3.53 acres land for RM43.08mil

KUALA LUMPUR: FCW Holdings Bhd’s 55%-owned subsidiary, Urban Reach Sdn Bhd has proposed to acquire a p[arcel of leasehold industrial land in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur for RM43.08mil cash.

The 3.53-acre land is located along Jalan Usahawan 5 which is within an industrial area known as the PKNS Setapak Industrial Area. It is located 8.5 km northeast of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre and 3.5 km west of the Wangsa Walk Mall.

On June 8, the land was granted a conditional development order by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) for a commercial development comprising a 56-storey serviced apartment building and a 9-storey car park block together with one level of facilities deck (conditional DO).

However, Urban Reach will not be proceeding with the development contents as set out in the approved conditional DO.

“As such, pending completion of the proposed acquisition, Urban Reach will submit, or cause JKB Development to submit, to the relevant authorities an amended development order based on its own development planning when finalised.

“Indicatively, the land is to carry out mixed development comprising residential and commercial properties,” FCW said in a Bursa filing.

FCW said the proposed acquisition forms part of the group’s ongoing efforts to grow its property development business by acquiring additional landbanks for future development.
