According to Datuk Azman Mahmood, CrystalVille Group corporate advisor, they are optimistic of the medium to long term potential for shops and retail space in Cyberjaya. A project like Vita providing shopping retail and commercial space will fit well in the overall development of Cyberjaya as a new township, he added.
“Vita is poised to attract not only the population of Cyberjaya and Putrajaya but also those in its surrounding vicinity including Puchong, Seri Kembangan, Bangi and Dengkil,” he said.
Currently, the total population in the 5km radius of the development is about 176,000. Azman estimates a local population of at least 1,035 to patronise the shops at Vita daily.
He said the presence of established developers such as UEM Land Holdings Bhd, S P Setia Bhd, Mah Sing Group Bhd, OSK Property and Glomac Bhd in Cyberjaya give confidence to the public and stir property demand in Cyberjaya.
“Prices have gradually moved in tandem with the newfound confidence in the market. Our prices take into account the demand behaviour at Cyberjaya which is expected to peak from 2015 onwards. We are realistically competitive yet sensitive to buyers’ concerns,” said Azman.
Prices of shops in Cyberjaya now range between RM298 psf to RM1,079 psf. In Puchong, the prices are at an average RM1,333 psf while serviced apartments and SoHos in Cyberjaya are priced between RM406 psf to RM732 psf.
“Cyberjaya has cleared its take-off and is now picking up speed. Cruising level will be reached sometime in 2015 with full speed ahead by 2018,” Azman concludes.
CrystalVille was established as a boutique developer with CrystalVille Plaza, a commercial centre in Sri Hartamas, as its maiden project. With the success of CrystalVille Plaza, Prismaville Sdn Bhd was created and soon developed another landmark development named Prismaville Business Centre, also in Sri Hartamas.
Future developments include OPUS@Perdana Lakeview East, Cyberjaya which offers two phases of 3-storey villas and 4-storey duplex villas, totalling 172 units.
