CPI Land to launch premium residential project with RM557mil GDV in Gombak
KUALA LUMPUR: CPI Land is set to launch a residential development in Selangor that "will redefine" luxury living in the region.
Permata Heights, a premium freehold landed residential development in Gombak, will boast a total gross development value (GDV) of RM557 million.
"Permata Heights signifies CPI Land's strategic expansion into the high-end landed property market, reinforcing its commitment to delivering standout homes in highly sought-after locations.
"Nestled at the highest point of Taman Bukit Permata, this exclusive 8.33-hectare development will feature only 177 residential units, offering a low-density living experience across stratified super-link homes, semi-detached houses and bungalows," it said.
The limited collection of residences is designed to cater to discerning buyers seeking unparalleled privacy, space and modern amenities, CPI Land added.
"Post-pandemic trends clearly show rising demand for upmarket landed homes, with recent launches outperforming comparable mass-market properties.
"We're not just entering this segment; we're doing it with intention. Location, low density, and market alignment are our pillars, ensuring Permata Heights offers exceptional value and an elevated lifestyle," said Chung Shan Tat, chairman of CPI Land.
The initial phase, Permata Gemma, is targeted for launch in July with a projected GDV of RM123 million.
The phase will comprise 36 three-storey semi-detached homes and 24 three-storey bungalows, tailored for business owners and multi-generational families.
Prices for semi-detached homes will start from RM1.76 million, while bungalows will be priced around RM2.2 million, reflecting the premium features and expansive layouts.
These residences will boast open designs, high ceilings, full-length windows, private gardens or balconies, and provisions for lifts, EV charging, and solar panels, blending sustainability with sophisticated living.
"Permata Heights is poised to become a landmark development, offering residents unobstructed views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline and excellent connectivity to major highways such as MRR2, Duke, Karak Expressway and the Setiawangsa-Pantai link," Chung said.
Buying sub-sale terrace homes today often comes with high renovation costs, ageing structures, and sky-high prices, he added.
"Permata Heights addresses this by offering brand new landed homes featuring modern façades with distinctive curated residences and amenities that have become a hallmark of our company."
Chung said the initial market response has been overwhelmingly positive, with significant interest and sales appointments already booked. Full take-up of Permata Gemma is anticipated within six to nine months.
Following Permata Gemma, Phase 2 (39 semi-detached homes and bungalows) and Phase 3-a gated 78‑unit stratified landed phase on the distinctive "Eyeball" apex, will roll out next year.
Phase 4 will comprise serviced apartments which will be located away from the first three phases.
CPI Land is preparing another landed project in Selayang by year‑end.
The company has also acquired 2.25ha in Permas Jaya, Johor expanding beyond the central region for the first time.
This positions the company to strengthen its portfolio.

Tracking who buys packet cooking oil
JOHOR BARU: Johor is expected to be the first state to adopt the upgraded Cooking Oil Price Stabilisation Scheme (eCOSS) system before it is rolled out nationwide, says Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister said the system will include tracking consumers to ensure that subsidised packet cooking oil reaches its intended recipients. 'Last year, we launched the eCOSS system, which recorded the distribution of subsidised cooking oil from manufacturers, all the way to retailers. 'However, it does not record who buys the oil at the consumer level. So while we can trace it to the retail level, leakages can still happen. 'That's why we believe the eCOSS system should be extended to track usage at the consumer level too,' he said after launching the Buy Malaysian Goods Campaign here. Also present were Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Fuziah Salleh, Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi and state investment, trade, consumer affairs and human resources committee chairman Lee Ting Han. He said the upgraded system, which includes a feature to monitor purchases at the consumer level, is being piloted through Jualan Rahmah programmes nationwide. 'We have already upgraded the system to include that capability, but to ensure that it functions smoothly and doesn't spark complaints from users, we will roll it out in phases. 'We started doing this around three or four months ago through several Jualan Rahmah programmes, where buyers must download the eCOSS app and scan a QR code when purchasing subsidised oil. 'Earlier, I had offered Johor to be the first state to fully implement the upgraded system, and it was met with a positive response. But before we implement it across the state, I need to make sure the system is stable,' he said. Armizan stressed that the extension of the system does not mean the government is reducing subsidies or changing the existing monthly quota, which remains the same. 'What we are doing is strengthening risk management to ensure that subsidised oil is not misused or sold to unauthorised parties, especially non-citizens,' he added. Separately, Armizan said that the distributive trade sector recorded RM1.76 trillion in sales last year, an increase of more than 5% compared with the RM1.67 trillion recorded in 2023. He said among the initiatives that have contributed to the encouraging trend is the Buy Malaysian Goods Campaign, which aims to boost sales of local products, especially involving micro, small and medium enterprises. He said the campaign has contributed some RM347mil in sales over the last two years through e-commerce platforms. 'We are also using e-commerce platforms to promote local products in collaboration with various parties, including e-commerce operators such as Lazada, Shopee and TikTok.

Distributive trade sector recorded RM1.76 trillion in sales last year, says Armizan
JOHOR BARU: The distributive trade sector recorded RM1.76 trillion in sales last year, says Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister said that the figure was an increase of more than 5% compared to the RM1.67 trillion recorded in 2023. "With such strong figures, we should focus on leveraging this growth to promote local products, enabling them to benefit from the expansion of the sector," he said. He said that among the initiatives that have contributed to the encouraging trend is the Buy Malaysian Goods Campaign, which aims to boost sales of local products, especially from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). He said the campaign has contributed some RM347mil in sales over the last two years through e-commerce platforms. "We are also utilising e-commerce platforms to promote local products in collaboration with various parties, including e-commerce operators such as Lazada, TikTok and Shopee. "For example, the sales of local products reached RM347mil in 2023 and 2024 through the Buy Malaysian campaign, which shows great potential,' he said. Armizan added that Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof will announce a coordination meeting next week to bring together various agencies and ministries involved in the campaign. "The campaign is driven by multiple ministries and agencies, each with its own approach, so coordination is crucial," he said, urging the private sector and non-governmental organisations to play a role in promoting and prioritising high-quality local products that contribute to the national economy. He added that beyond domestic efforts, the ministry is also pushing for global market penetration through the Local to Global Retail initiative. "This is one of the ways we aim to enhance our products' competitiveness and visibility in international markets. "We will intensify these efforts for the benefit of the people, local entrepreneurs, and the nation as a whole,' he said.
