A 17-year wait is finally over for some 370 unit owners of the Majestic Heights project (Phase 2A) in Paya Terubong!
State Exco for Housing, Town and Country Planning Jagdeep Singh said they will get their keys in August – which is five months before the
scheduled completion date.
“This is after a 17-year wait. The project was abandoned in 1998 after it was 70% completed, and was revived in July when it was taken over by PLB
Land Sdn Bhd. “The original completion was scheduled in January 2017. The rehabilitation and revival works will be completed this month,” said
Jagdeep after visiting the project site on Dec 17 with Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh and Paya Terubong assemblymember Yeoh Soon Hin.
He added that the Certificate of Completion and Compliance would be released in August and buyers can take delivery of their units the same
month. He said PLB Land would build 7,058 units of affordable housing on the adjoining piece of land.
These units, expected to be 750sq ft and 1,000 sq ft, will be priced between RM300,000 and RM400,000 respectively.
“This is in addition to the other affordable housing projects which are ongoing or being planned in Penang,” Jagdeep said.
On the revival of the phase 2B and 3A of the Majestic Heights project, Jagdeep said both phases were abandoned in the initial stages, so there were
no structures erected, unlike Phase 2A. “We may give the 1,100 unit owners the option of reviving the project or getting units in the planned
affordable housing projects,” he said. “The state will hold discussions with the developer on this issue in January,” he added.
