SHAREDA Property Hunter Expo Returns to Sandakan on 11 to 13 April

The flagship SHAREDA Property Hunter Expo (SHAREDA PH Expo) returns to Sandakan for the second year. This event will be held from 11 to 13 April 2014 (10:00am to 8:00pm) at the Yu Yuan Secondary School Function Hall.

This free-to-attend exhibition is jointly organized by the Sabah Housing and Real Estate Developers Association (SHAREDA) and renowned property exhibition organizer Maxx Media (S) Sdn Bhd. It will  feature over 56 booths consisting of both local and international developers, property agents and banks.

The opening ceremony was graced by YB Datuk Au Kam Wah ADUN N45 ELOPURA. In his welcoming speech he said that the SHAREDA PH Expo will unite property developers, investors and home buyers under one roof to cater to the ever growing need and demand in property especially affordable homes. He said, “Since the Eighth Malaysia Plan, the government has spent RM5.46 billion to build affordable homes for the people. In order for the plan to materialize, there will be an implementation in the next five years based on several housing schemes, including the MyHome, PPR for civil servants and those on the low and moderate income brackets.”

“I would like to encourage more local developers to commit to building affordable homes as a means of fulfilling its corporate social responsibility rather than profit motivated, despite marketing risk being a constant issue in such projects,” he added. Over 20 developers and property agents will be showcasing more than 30 of the most anticipated projects from the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, Singapore and Malaysia. Top developers that will be highlighting properties in Malaysia include the Mah Sing Group, Hap Seng Properties Development, IOI Properties Berhad, Reapfield Properties, Kuala Lumpur Metro Group, Bandar Utama Development, Selangor Dredging Berhad (Properties) and many more.

Sabahan developers include Wah Mie Group, Remajaya, Grand Merdeka Development, Sara Timur Realty and others. Plus, first time participant Jalin Realty will be featuring Zone 1 to Zone 6 apartments and student accommodations in the UK, plus apartments and landed homes in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia.

According to Maxx Media Director Michael Hiew, “We feel very honoured to be able to work with SHAREDA again on this exhibition. It is our vision to bring a variety of quality property projects from both local and overseas to the people of Sandakan. As seen in our earlier expo in KK, we believe that the demand for quality properties is still high for both home buyers and investors, which is why we are selective in bringing our exhibitors to ensure we meet the buyers' expectation."

To further create awareness about the current property market scene, free copies of the Property Hunter magazine will be given away. Plus, visitors will also have a chance to enter the Visit and Win contest sponsored by Acer Malaysia. Three lucky winners will walk away with an Ace Smartphone each.

Buyers who make purchases during the three-day event will be able to redeem vouchers from Louis Pang Studio worth RM800, for properties under RM500,000 and RM1080, for properties above RM500,000). The SHAREDA PH Expo is an annual Business-to-Consumer (B2C) event that aims to bring investors and home buyers to property developers with the ever growing demand in premium property.
