With a growing number of rich Sabahans choosing to build their sprawling mansions here, Kingfisher Palm Homes Sulaman and Kingfisher Park 2 have become established prestigious residential addresses in Sabah, Kota Kinabalu.

To meet the growing demand for luxury homes in this areas, developer Hap Seng Properties Development Sdn Bhd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hap Seng Consolidated Bhd), will be launching Phase 5 of Kingfisher Palm Homes Sulaman – a gated and guarded community comprising 40 boutique bungalows. Scheduled to be launched by the middle of this year, each bungalow will be priced at about RM1 million.

The first three phases of this project, which have already been completed with Certificate of Fitness for Occupation, comprises 2½-storey link houses and semi-detached houses. Phase 4, which is due for completion early next year, includes 2½-storey link houses, 2½-storey semi-detached houses, 2½-storey link bungalows and 2-storey detached houses.

Hap Seng has also completed and sold 745 homes in Kingfisher Park 2. Both projects, situated along the Kota Kinabalu-Sulaman Highway, are close to the soon-to-be-launched, 1 Borneo, the first and largest hypermall in East Malaysia, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, and the government administrative centre. This fast-growing area is about a 10-minute drive from Kota Kinabalu town.

According to Hap Seng Properties Development Sdn Bhd property division general manager for East Malaysia, John Tan Duo Zer, Phase 5’s boutique bungalows will have substantially bigger built-ups and land areas compared to the Phase 4 link bungalows.

The Kingfisher Palm Homes Sulaman will boast a grand main entrance which is lined by palm trees, lush landscaping, idyllic gardens and water parks, outdoor gyms and exercise stations, pedestrian paths, jogging tracks and playgrounds.

Hap Seng has also built 148 units of two and three-storey shop offices in Plaza Kingfisher.
