Secures RM111.8mn of Residential Development Project

KERJAYA has accepted a letter of award for a contract worth RM111.8mn from Kerjaya Property Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Kerjaya Prospek Property Bhd (KPPROP). The project is principally involved in the construction of 52-storey main building works, including a 42-storey serviced apartment block and an 8- storey elevated carpark in Mukim Setapak.

This project is expected to commence on 16 January 2024 and will take 40 months to complete.

It is deemed a recurrent related party transaction as KPPROP is the property arm of KERJAYA.
