“Kuala Selangor is a town that will develop further, especially when the West Coast Expressway is completed, which will turn it into a hot spot in the next three to five years,” she said.

“At its launching this weekend, our sales target is 30 units.”

Norita said the Gross Development Value stands at RM46 million, and there has been an annual 10 per cent appreciation of the property, based on existing projects by PKNS in Kuala Selangor.
