PUTRAJAYA SET TO BE MORE VIBRANT FROM COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES

PUTRAJAYA, Nov 2 (Bernama) -- Putrajaya's outlook is set to become more vibrant
from commercial activities, says Putrajaya Holdings (PjH) director and chief
executive officer, Azlan Abdul Karim.

He also said Putrajaya's vibrancy in the near future comes with the
completion of the commercial development there.

Azlan was speaking during an exclusive media tour of Putrajaya conducted by PjH.

The tour included a sneak preview of the next exciting development phases of
Malaysia's administrative capital city south of Kuala Lumpur.

"In respect of commercial development, the focus is on corporate office
buildings, hotel development as well as mixed and retail development," he said.

He also highlighted that the heart of the city would eventually comprise office
towers, business suites, a high street retail complex, hotels, educational
institutions as well as recreational and entertainment centres.

"Through aggressive marketing efforts, PjH is looking to attract business owners
and investors who favour a well-planned city with top security features,
sophisticated transport and telecommunications systems, along with a serene
environment," Azlan explained.

He said all the PjH projects are carried out by master developers, making it
prestigious, sustainable and innovative with aesthetics in harmony with a
well-protected environment.

"Putrajaya is not just for government servants but for the nation. It is
expected that in the next few years, Putrajaya is set to become more than just a
government city, as it accelerates the pace of residential and commercial
development.

"This will eventually create a sustainable living and working environment, on
par with other planned administrative cities in the world." he added.

Azlan also said this vision is based on a long term and dynamic business plan
which aims to create and sustain the local economy.
