Mah Sing’s group chief executive officer, Datuk Ho Hon Sang said close to 100% of Mah Sing’s employees have received the first dose of vaccination against Covid-19, and more than 95% have completed the 2nd dose.
Ho said while Mah Sing has been able to close new property sales of approximately RM1.06bil for the first eight months of 2021 due to its strong online sales and marketing capabilities, buyers have been looking forward to visiting its sales gallery for a more personalised consultation.
“Purchasing power from households will gradually improve and we foresee affordably priced properties at strategic locations will still be well sought after. We intend to roll out more exciting marketing campaigns to tap on this pent-up demand,” he added.
Mah Sing has planned launches of eight new phases in various projects including Tower E of M Vertica, Cheras, remaining phases of M Arisa, Sentul, Phase two of Cerrado Suites and Tower B Sensory Residences at Southville City in Bangi, phase three of M Aruna and M Panora in Rawang, service apartments in Southbay City, Penang and Erica in Meridin East, Johor Bahru.
Mah Sing also plans to launch two new projects from its acquired lands earlier this year, namely M Astra in Setapak and M Senyum in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi, Sepang, which are both indicatively priced from below RM500,000, targeting to meet the pent-up demand for affordable homes.
