RM1b hypermall to woo Arabs

Kota Kinabalu: The development of a RM1 billion hypermall, “1 Borneo” augurs well for the State tourism industry as it will provide a shopping attraction to Sabah, in addition to its natural wonders, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman.



“We hope with this development, we can attract tourists from the Middle East. Now, we aren’t keen to promote (Sabah) to tourists from the Middle East because we don’t have enough places, enough rooms for them to come and we don’t have enough places for them to shop,” he said after witnessing the signing of an agreement between United Sabah Islamic Association (USIA) and Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd to develop “1 Borneo” hypermall on a 9.32-hectare site in Kuala Menggatal, here, Friday.


Musa said the Middle East tourists loved to shop and they would like to stay in service apartments as they stayed longer compared to other tourists.


He said tourist arrivals in the State had shown an increase this year as a result of additional direct flights from Kota Kinabalu to China, Japan, Australia and Indonesia.


Meanwhile, Sagajuta Managing Director Raymond Chan said the hypermall project, with a total build-up area 4.5 million sq ft (418,500 sq m) was expected to commence in February next year. The RM1 billion hypermall was expected to be ready by April 2008.


Apart from service apartments, the hypermall will also include 1.5 million sq ft (139,500 sq m) of retail space, two blocks office towers, private college, 3500 car park bays and one block office/shop lots.


Chan said Sabah lacked bigger and better shopping facilities to provide an extra push for the State, which is famous for its nature wonders.


Once completed the mall would have a hypermarket, handicraft and batik gallery, mega bookstore and music store, auto city, dining outlets, mega sport stores as well as specialty shops.


On the joint venture with USIA, Chan said as land owner, USIA would be given some cash consideration and certain amount of units from the projects.


USIA President Tun Sakaran Dandai said the project would enable the association to get some income to finance its activities for the benefit of the Muslims in the State.-Bernama

Commercial centres set to change KK

Property Talk with S.C. CHEAH

THE proposed KK Times Square and 1 Borneo are two major commercial developments that are set to change the face of Kota Kinabalu (KK). They are not only big in terms of size and gross development value but also special in concept and design.

Competition has been intense with several new commercial projects being launched in the city. However, all eyes are on the KK Times Square and 1 Borneo whose combined retail and office space covers a few million square feet!

The improved economy and rising tourist arrivals to KK (1.77 million tourists last year, with more than half being Malaysians, and the figure is expected to rise to 2.7 million by 2007) have boosted investor confidence in the retail and office market and the belief that there is a pent-up demand for such properties, especially from wealthy Sabahans and Sarawakians.

So what do these two projects have to offer? KK Times Square: This project by Asian Pac Holdings Bhd subsidiary Syarikat Kapasi Sdn Bhd will be developed in two phases – Signature Offices and The Mall. It will offer KK residents and tourists a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and entertainment facilities.

The Signature Offices, on eight acres, will have 12 blocks of business suites; five, six and eight-storey shop offices; and retail outlets. When completed, it is slated to become one of the region's most exciting business hubs.

The Mall, on 15 acres, will have a hotel, department store, hypermarket, specialty retail shops, middle and upmarket food and beverage outlets, food court, cineplexes, and sports and exhibition facilities. It will even offer boat rides. There will also be a cultural centre and office towers. The total gross area is about 2 million sq ft. An advantage is that the retail lots in the shopping centre are not for sale.

Asian Pac is bringing its successful Phileo Damansara modern retail-office concept to KK and, in so doing, set the future trend for shop office developments there.

The main features of the Signature Offices would include the double-volume ceiling for the ground floor corridors (15ft wide). The absence of back lanes would also ensure that the overall development is well maintained.

The shops have double frontages. It is on 23 acres of very prime reclaimed land that commands two excellent frontages: the four-lane coastal highway and the sea overlooking the Sutera Harbour Resort. It is also squatter-free.

The proximity of this resort (with its Sutera Harbour Marina Golf & Country Club, Sutera Harbour Marina and Yacht Club, and two five-star hotels, the Pacific Sutera Hotel and the Magellan Sutera Hotel) has enhanced the area's prestige. Sales have been good.

A company director Johnny Cheah, who “set roots” in KK after coming from Penang some 25 years ago and who has studied feng shui, feels that KK Times Square has a “blessed” location. “It is said that when you do business, it is good to have your office on flat land and facing a big pool of water. This project faces the sea with a nice view of a five-star resort,” he added.

1 Borneo: It is claimed that 1 Borneo's hypermall will be the biggest shopping mall in Borneo. Its 1.5 million sq ft of space is about three times the size of KK's Centrepoint shopping centre. It will have more than 600 retail lots and dual-frontage shoplexes.

The project's preview held on March 4 saw the developer Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd on an aggressive marketing drive.

Although it is about 7km from the city centre, it enjoys a new growth location as it is next to the upcoming Alam Mesra and Kingfisher Park townships, University Malaysia Sabah Campus, Sepangar Bay Port, Naval Base, Sabah Medical Centre and the Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP).

It will boast a RM1bil “hypermall” that houses a 100,000 sq ft hypermarket, department stores, two and three-storey shoplexes (comprising an Autocity and alfresco dining), specialty shops, mega book shop, and mega sports store, among others.

There is also a proposal to have a “Harajuku” centre, named after Tokyo's happening place for youths.

There will also be a 36-lane bowling centre, 10-screen cineplexes, fitness centre, 3,500 parking bays, corporate office towers, a 230-room hotel, and a specialist medical centre and college.

A portion of the retail space would be leased out to main and mini anchors as well as being kept by the developer. The bulk of the retail lots are for sale. An expert on shopping complexes, Richard Chan, said it was not always the case that selling retail lots would lead to a half empty shopping centre as had happened in the Klang Valley, provided there was good management of the centre.

It is nestled in the middle of a growth triangle formed by the Federal Administrative Centre, the fast growing ultra modern University Malaysia Sabah and the upcoming Alamesra Township.

Nice to see some major development on the east of Malaysia:okay:

Although this is not a grand developments for present day's standards, it means alot to the locals. Sabah is a state vyer far away from the capital of Malaysia and are often underfunded by the federal government.

This is a town/small city on the fringe of the densest forest in the world. For people more familair with the west side of the world, it is like building something next to the Amazon jungle(although not that extreme:lol:)
Also, there is a nearby place called Pulau Sipadan which is rated on of the best place for diving in the world. :)

Hovercraft service to the mall
Monday July 23, 2007

DESCRIBED as the largest lifestyle hypermall, 1Borneo will have more superlatives attached to its name.

Located some 7km from downtown Kota Kinabalu, 1Borneo’s proponents are making sure those intending to head to the mall will find it plain sailing – literally.

1Borneo will be the first mall in Malaysia and perhaps in Asia to operate a dedicated hovercraft service.

1 Borneo developer Sagajuta Sdn Bhd managing director Raymond Chan said his company was targeting to get its fleet of three hovercraft operating when the mall opened its doors come March 2008.

Initially, each of the 30-seater hovercraft would ply 1Borneo and the Kota Kinabalu water front adjacent to the Warisan Square complex, Sagajuta’s first venture into the shopping centre business in Sabah.

Chan said the 15km journey to 1Borneo would take about 15 minutes by sea across the scenic Likas Bay.

“I am sure those who ride the hovercraft would find the journey to be too short because it will be a thrilling experience,” he said.

At a later stage, Sagajuta will extend the hovercraft services to the Kota Kinabalu international airport thus enabling passengers to avoid peak hour traffic jams.

To cap it all off, 1Borneo will become the first mall in the country to have its own helicopter services for those in search of some serious retail therapy to reach the mall even faster.

“Perhaps those who spend say a minimum of RM3,000 in a single day could be ferried back to their resorts in a helicopter. That would make them remember their stay in Sabah,” said Chan.

Chan said 1Borneo would also be operating a fleet of shuttle buses to ferry passengers from designated points such as hotels and resorts as well as the downtown area to an air-conditioned terminal at the mall.

First public aquarium in 1Borneo
Monday July 23, 2007

1BORNEO will house Borneo’s first public aquarium and ocean discovery centre called Aquatica.

Covering an area of some 2,800sq m Aquatica will showcase over 500 marine life species.

For children and teenagers, 1Borneo would feature playgrounds and entertainment centres spread over two floors.

Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd managing director Raymond Chan said: “One of our key target markets are teenagers. When they come to 1Borneo, the parents will naturally follow.”

Chan and his management team have been studying major malls worldwide to come up with various concepts for 1Borneo. Thus visitors will find retail outlets arranged in “thematic clusters.”

The concourse or lower ground floor for example has been designated the market hall/household/services zone that would house the 84,000 sq ft Giant supermarket, the largest in Borneo.

Other major anchor tenants include HSL and SenQ as well as family restaurants such as McDonalds, Kenny Rogers, Ayam Mas, KFC and Pizza Hut.

Those in search of unique bargains can head to Chinatown, a bazaar-like retail area.

The ground floor has been designated the lifestyle precinct where most of the designer fashion outlets as well as a handicraft and cultural centre are to be located.

It will also have a covered and air conditioned al fresco dining area called the Boulevard that links the mall proper to the 3,000 sq m Auto Gallery by state owned fleet manager Angkatan Hebat Sdn Bhd.

Chan said the al fresco dining area would house popular names such as Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Dome, HK Teahouse, Fish n Co, Secret Recipe, Manhattan Fish Market and Thai Express. The first floor of the mall has been designated the family precinct.

Among the shops located at this level is a renowned Australian-based electrical store and Times Bookstore.

The second floor will house the Golden Screen cinema complex with eight screening halls, a 36-lane bowling alley and Singapore-based Raintree Spa.

Aquatica KK

http://www.aquaticakk.org/aquatica/images/front_2.jpg

Development of the Aquatica KK Phase 1 site at Likas started earlier this year and construction is well under way. All below ground work is complete, landscaping has started and aquarium tank foundations are being built.
PROGRESS (http://www.aquaticakk.org/aquatica/work_progress.htm)

http://www.aquaticakk.org/aquatica/images/1borneo/1borneo.jpg

Aquatica KK is currently developing an aquarium and ocean science discovery centre to be located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The project is the brainchild of concerned conservationists who aim to promote environmental awareness by exhibiting the ecosystems of Borneo and highlighting both the threats they face and the desperate need to conserve them. Aquatica will function as both a tourist attraction and educational facility featuring large scale aquatic displays and interactive exhibits aimed at all age groups.

The project has been five years in the developing and will be completed in two phases. The construction of Phase 1 began earlier this year at Likas and phase 2 will be a world class attraction in a custom designed area within the 1Borneo development.

Making Sabah a sanctuary for shoppers
Monday July 23, 2007
By Ruben Sario

Sabah would inevitably conjure images of the famed Mount Kinabalu (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=318601) and the diving haven of Pulau Sipadan (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=318601&page=3).

There is also the orang utan, Borneo pygmy elephants and the yearly Kaamatan or Harvest Festival of the Kadazandusun community.

Sabah’s tourism promotion efforts have until now largely focused on the state’s nature and cultural attractions.

That is all about to change and Sabah can take its place among the shopping destinations in Asia in about eight months.

Designer brands like Cortina Watch, Guess, BYSI, Southhaven, Edmundser, Bega, Esprit, Hang Ten, Charles and Keith, Royal Sporting House, Elianto, Tomei, Blush and Salabianca are heading to the state capital.

They are setting up shop at the mammoth 1Borneo hypermall that will open its doors come March next year.

With some 600 shop lots scattered over a total floor area of nearly 140,000sq m, 1Borneo is a tad smaller than Kuala Lumpur’s Mid Valley Megamall in terms of retail space.

But there is more to 1Borneo. The largest shopping complex in Borneo will have four hotels with a total of about 800 rooms slated to be operational late next year.

Among them are the no frills Tune Hotel affiliated with budget airline AirAsia, Novotel and the Grand Boulevard. There are two blocks of 800 mid-level condominiums and the proposed 114 super condominiums. All these will push the total built up area at 1Borneo to a staggering 445,000 sq m.

Jointly developed by Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd, a division of construction giant Ramajuta Group and the United Sabah Islamic Association, that owns the 9.4ha site, 1Borneo promises to add another dimension to what Sabah can offer to its 2.5 million annual visitors.

“The push for eco and cultural tourism is fine but shopping is an important element for travellers these days, particularly Asians,” Sagajuta managing director Raymond Chan said.

He reckons the RM1bil 1Borneo is at “the right place at the right time” with the advent of the Asean open skies policy by 2009 and with budget airlines like AirAsia in operations.

Chan said the mall would redefine shopping in this part of the world as about 40% of foreign brands setting up shop in 1Borneo were new to the country.

“Currently when Sabahans want to shop for branded stuff the first choice would likely be Kuala Lumpur. Soon there will be more reason for people from the peninsula to come to Sabah for some serious shopping at 1Borneo apart from the mountain and the islands.”

The immediate catchment area for 1Borneo is Kota Kinabalu’s 800,000 population and those who live within 20 km of the city’s vicinity. Universiti Malaysia Sabah with 16,000 students and staff and the spanking new Federal department complex or “mini Putrajaya” is just a stone’s throw away.

Chan also believes 1Borneo will be big enough to pull in not only those from various districts but also Bruneians.

It comes as no surprise that Sagajuta is targeting 50,000 visitors daily on weekdays and up to 70,000 on weekends when 1Borneo opens. “We are certain there will be numerous repeat visitors,” Chan said.

As construction of 1Borneo reaches its final stages, Chan has assembled a management team that includes Singaporean expert Wong Chee Hwa who has 25 years experience in mall and property management.

Wong, who is 1Borneo's operations manager, said some RM2.5mil has been allocated for advertising and promotions for the few months before and after the opening of 1Borneo. “It will be unforgettable because I want 1Borneo to take off with a bang,” he said.

And after the glitzy opening, those coming to 1Borneo would find a “classy” but affordable place for shopping, Chan said.

“By then Sabah will no longer just be known for its nature but also for some real serious retail therapy,” he added.

1Borneo on track for soft launch in March
By Julia Chan
October 27 2007
BusinessTimes


1BORNEO, the first shopping and lifestyle complex in Sabah and Sarawak, is on track for its scheduled soft opening in March.

The complex in Kota Kina-balu, which has a 1.5 million sq m shopping complex, four hotels and an underwater world, is scheduled to be open for its soft launching at the end of March.

Centre Management director Wong Chee Hwa said the shopping mall is 87 per cent leased to 200 tenants, and they are working to lease out the remaining space by the time the mall opens.

"We will be handing over the premises for renovation to the anchor tenants and smaller tenants throughout the month of November, that will give them a few months to get ready for the opening," said Wong.

"Tune Hotel is scheduled to open by January while the other three hotels - Novotel, Best Western Courtyard and Mercure, are pushing to open by April."

The Shanghai company developing the underwater world also aims to be ready by then.

1Borneo is the first shopping centre in its class in Sabah and Sarawak, complete with entertainment outlets and spa and fitness centres. A hovercraft will transport visitors from the city centre to the complex, about 20 minutes out of town.

Phase two of the project, four condominium towers with 1,008 units, will be ready in about two years.

"We are confident we will be able to meet this deadline," said Wong.

He was speaking to reporters in Kota Kinabalu at a preview of the Ramajuta group's Platinum Club membership in cooperation with Genting Worldcard Sdn Bhd.

The Platinum Club card will give members special privileges and discounts at stores in Warisan Square as well as 1Borneo, in addition to exclusive hotel rates and points rewards.

Their collaboration with Genting Worldcard will mean members get privileges in over 300 third-party merchants with over 2,000 outlets in Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The card, which will be launched in December, will have three categories - Prestige, Trendy and Tourist - each designed to cater for different markets.

"We are aiming to get 20,000 Prestige members and 30,000 Trendy members next year, and up to 150,000 tourist members per month.

"Although there is a joining fee for the Prestige card, the advantages are worth it," said Wong.

Princely response to Sabah luxury condo
By New Straits Times (by Julia Chan)

http://www.1borneo.net/public/images/Supercondo.jpg

The newly-launched luxury condominium, Prince Tower, in Kota Kinabalu registered 70 per cent booking even before its launch on November 23.

It is the third tower in the sprawling lifestyle complex, 1 BORNEO.

"The state is moving in a new direction, where more upmarket properties are in demand. Investors are looking for high-end products and we wanted to capitalise on the trend," Datuk Raymond Chan, the managing director of developer Sagajuta Sdn Bhd, said in Kota Kinabalu.

The 119 units of the 28 storey tower are designed with luxury, spaciousness and privacy in mind.

From corner lots to standard, duplex and penthouse, the units vary in size between 1,900 sq ft and 13,700 sq ft.

All units come with access to concierge, receptionist and housekeeping services, while some have a sky lounge as well as sky pool. Prices range from RM627,000 to about RM4.8 million.

"So far, we have interested buyers from all over, both locally and overseas. The higher-end units, duplex and penthouse, were the first to be taken up," said Chan.


He said the units are priced lower than similar properties in Kuala Lumpur where one sq ft can fetch close to RM1,000.

"Here, we are selling it for RM350 per sq ft, plus you get all the conveniences and amenities close by, " he added.

Chan said the three towers comprising Prince Tower, Towers A and B offer a total of 1,008 units, which are expected to be completed in 18 months.

1Borneo is slated for an official launch in April next year. It will have a hypermall, autocity, four international and regional hotel chains, condominium, oceanarium, spa and fitness centre, and bowling centre, among other amenities.

1 Borneo Hypermall
Client : Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd
Architect : YTS Architecture Sdn Bhd

When completed in 2008, the RM$1B 1 Borneo Hypermall will be the biggest shopping precinct on the island of Borneo. With 1.5M square feet of shopping, leisure and dining outlets, it will house 600 retail outlets across four floors. It will also contain a deluxe hotel, a specialist medical centre and a private college.

Set to attract local shoppers and foreign tourists, the 23ha site sits in close proximity to the Federal Administrative Centre, the ultra-modern University of Malaysia Sabah and the upcoming Alamesra township.

Arup has been commissioned to perform a safety assessment of the precinct. Using a combination of performance-based and prescriptive fire engineering, the team has ensured that its comprehensive strategy meets the Malaysian Uniform Building by-laws.

The team has increased leasable floor area by adopting a number of innovative solutions. By reducing the number of fire separations and introducing a comprehensive smoke control scheme, Arup has saved the client significant expense. These solutions will reduce initial construction costs and lessen long-term maintenance requirements.

Arup’s solutions have also enabled the architect to achieve a more flexible and innovative design, allowing them to create a concept that will appeal to the most discerning of customers.

Largest mall in Borneo opens

Shopping paradise: 1Borneo is the latest mall
to open in Kota Kinabalu Sunday.


KOTA KINABALU: The opening of Borneo’s largest hypermall, 1Borneo, has the potential to place Sabah among the top regional shopping destinations, Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman said.

He said 1Borneo was an added attraction here for shoppers seeking bargains and branded goods and was part of the state’s efforts to diversify its tourism products, currently best known for its natural eco-tourism activities and destinations.

Calling for the tapping of shopping tourists who fly to regional centres like Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Singapore and Bangkok, Musa said it was important for the state to draw in these tourists, especially those living within three to six hours flying time of the city.

“We should keep striving to create new attractions and malls such as 1Borneo are one such product,” he said at the soft opening of the RM1.2bil hypermall, which was jointly developed by the state-owned Warisan Harta Sabah Sdn Bhd, Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd and United Sabah Islamic Association, owner of the 10ha site.

The mall has 139,354 sq metres of shopping area, and among others, has four international chain hotels, condominiums, an Auto City, oceanarium and Discovery Centre, handicraft cultural centre and a cineplex among others.

The state was projected to increase tourism receipts from RM2.88bil in 2006 to a whopping RM48.5bil in 2025 through the initiatives outlined in the 18-year Sabah Development Corridor blueprint.

Musa also hoped that retailers opening shops in 1Borneo would employ local youths being trained in government and private colleges.
