FAQS

Q1. What is affordable housing?
For housing to be considered affordable, definitions vary across the world. We use the price-to-income ratio or the ‘median-multiple’ developed by United Nations Centre for Human Settlement (UNCHS) and the World Bank under the Housing Indicators Program. It must cost less than 30% of pre-tax income including housing and related costs (mortgage or rent, along with property taxes, home energy, water and repairs). In Malaysia, the Central Bank of Malaysia (BNM) defined affordable housing as the house range RM 250,000 and below. Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) defined affordable housing in 3 ways: a price between RM 150,000 to RM 300,000, built-up area about 900 sq. ft and good connectivity to public transportation hubs.
Q2. Who benefits from a 5-bedroom unit?
Our product offering stands out with space optimization - homes designed for functional needs - space and privacy. Typically, affordable housing designs only have 2 to 3 bedrooms and are not suitable for a large family. Our innovative design of a 5-bedroom apartment unit is adequate to house a relatively large family while still affording sufficient space and privacy for parents and the children. With their own rooms, children will also have a conducive environment to study and do their homework.
Q3. What are the benefits of a dual key concept?
The Dual Key concept allows for one spare room with attached bath to be rented out to bring in additional income to the household. This additional income can be used to pay part of the housing loan or maintenance fees of the apartment. If your elderly parents are staying with the family, the dual key concept also allows for the spare room and bath to be used by your elderly parents with complete privacy and yet they remain close enough so that the other household members can look out for them and take care of their needs.
