KUALA LUMPUR: Well established-property developer Selangor Properties Bhd (SPB) has awarded Grand Dynamic Builders Sdn Bhd (GDBSB) the main building contract for its AIRA Residence development, located at the peak of Jalan Batai, Damansara Heights.
The AIRA Residence project, which was launched in October last year, represents SPB’s comeback to major urban development following an absence of over 15 years. The luxury condominium development, which is achieving average selling prices of RM1,700 per sq ft, is due for completion in late 2020.
According to statement, the AIRA Residence site represents the last and most prime residential parcel remaining from SPB’s initial holding of 1,000 acres of Damansara Heights land. The company still has over 30 acres of land available for commercial and mixed-use development, giving it a long-term pipeline of major project opportunities.
GDBSB was awarded the contract following a comprehensive tender process that sought to find a main-contractor capable of delivering the quality of construction and safety standards SPB demands for its high-end project. The RM400+ million contract involves nearly one million sq ft of gross building area over 17 levels atop a 4=four-storey podium car park.
The awarding of the superstructure contract follows the successful completion of substructure work by Geohan Sdn Bhd.

Speaking at the official signing ceremony held at the AIRA Residence Marketing Gallery, SPB chief operating officer Chong Koon San commented that: “SPB was meticulous in its selection process as we needed to ensure that the chosen contractor could deliver a project demanding the very best in construction methods and quality of finishes. We are proud to be working with GDBSB; a contractor that is compiling a growing track record for delivering projects on-time and on-budget whilst not compromising on safety and meeting high-quality standards. This is shown by their ability to achieve excellence under both the CONQUAS and Qlassic scorecard systems.”
