Sunway Property has announced that it had achieved a record RM 2.55 billion in sales last year (as of 31st December 2021) despite the pandemic, attributed to good sales in Singapore.
The sales achievement is the developer’s highest in its history, surpassing its revised sales target of RM2.2 billion from its initial sales target of RM1.6 billion.
On the back of the achievement, the Master Community Developer will be targeting RM2.2 billion in sales and RM2.3 billion in launches for 2022. Almost 70% of its new launches will be in Malaysia with the rest being in Singapore and China.
Sunway Property Managing Director Sarena Cheah said that the developer will be leveraging the Sunway ecosystem to further improve the sustainability of communities around Malaysia in support of the nation’s recovery post-pandemic.
“The pandemic has put sustainability and wellness on top of everyone’s agenda. A key initiative for us is to develop integrated wellness hubs anchored by Sunway Medical Centre across Malaysia’s high-growth regions to provide holistic medical and wellness services to improve the overall well-being of our communities, as well as bringing our communities together through an innovative rewards programme to benefit the wider community,” said Sarena.
She added that the developer will continue to support the nation’s transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy by transforming its townships into smart and sustainable cities. The developer will aim to continue to have all of its assets completed from 2025 to be green-building certified; carry out energy, water and waste management across its developments, as well as continue to invest in corporate social responsibility programmes to help those who need it the most.
Integrated Wellness Hubs across Malaysia’s High-Growth Regions
To ensure the health of its communities, Sunway Property is currently masterplanning eight integrated wellness hubs across Malaysia’s highest growth regions where it has integrated townships and developments – Klang Valley (Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, Sunway Velocity in Kuala Lumpur, and Sunway Damansara), Penang (Sunway Seberang Jaya and Sunway Valley City), Ipoh (Sunway City Ipoh), and Johor (Sunway City Iskandar Puteri) – as well as Kota Bharu where it will be building its latest wellness hub.
The hubs will be anchored by Sunway Medical Centre with Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC Pte Ltd as an investment and strategic partner. Sunway will invest RM2 billion in capex in the next four to five years to build the medical centres.
Cheah explained, “Holistic wellness – mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, social and occupational – is of primary importance globally now. An integrated wellness hub will allow our wider community to pursue a wellness-centred lifestyle, and upgrade their living experience.”
Each of the integrated wellness hubs will be master planned with six key wellness pillars namely lifelong learning, sustainable living, modern and traditional care, active lifestyle, nature and multi-generational living, with the aim to provide a holistic wellness lifestyle and improve the overall well-being of the community.
Innovative Rewards Programme: Sunway Property Pals+ Expanded to Include Tenants and Sub-Sale Owners
Built on the idea to serve the wider communities, the developer announced that they will soon launch Sunway Property Pals+, offering rewards and benefits to buyers as well as tenants and sub-sale owners across Sunway Property developments, in addition to existing buyers who have previously benefitted from the original Sunway Property PALS programme.
The programme is specially curated and personalised to meet the practical and purposeful needs of different communities, by providing value added rewards and conveniences. These include convertible rent credit towards progressive payment for your first property purchase, property purchase benefits, F&B and retail rewards, home care and management services, wellness offerings and more.
Cheah said, “Because our community extends to more than just our buyers, and includes each and everyone who resides or operates businesses across our developments, we have worked to expand Sunway Property PALS to serve our communities better which include our tenants and sub-sale buyers in addition to homeowners. Sunway Property Pals+ will also be an avenue to exchange and cultivate ideas with the wider community.”

As always, we won’t stop at just building developments but will continuously work to build the communities. We are here to stay for our communities.”
Starting the Year Warmest As One – Bai Jia Bei
