HCK Capital Group’s series of education cities have been a resolute success. Banking on property buyers who emphasise convenience as a key decision maker, the public-listed entity decided that providing education institutions as the anchor element would be a USP to meet that criterion.
The education cities series are mixed integrated developments in three premium locales – edumetro (USJ 1, Subang Jaya), edusentral (Setia Alam, Shah Alam) and edusphere (Cyberjaya).
The Subang Jaya development will have SEGi College as its education element whose sizeable student population will provide steady footfall in edumetro. This makes investing in a commercial unit here an appealing proposition given the spending power of this demographic.
Setia Alam is an award-winning township which has attracted buyers who want a self-contained residential area with all the necessary essential services such as quality shopping, healthcare and of course, education.
This is covered by having two premium institutions at edusentral – Peninsula Private School and Peninsula International School Australia (Malaysia campus). Having quality education at the doorstep is among the reasons the residential towers at edusentral are all sold out, except its latest (and final) offering – The Harvard Suites.
Edusphere is located in the superbly planned township of Cyberjaya. This development is anchored by the University of Cyberjaya whose student population should provide a steady demand for quality rented accommodation within walking distance of the campus.
The success of these developments has paved the way for more themed projects. These will include ‘smart cities’ and ‘green cities’, each with an emphasis on meeting property buyers’ expectations.
