Trinity Group launched its latest residential development, Trinity Sensoria, which introduces an innovative five-tier protection system to provide residents unparalleled peace of mind. The project is a joint venture with Singapore-based property developer Oxley Holdings Ltd.

 

With a gross development value (GDV) of RM568 million, this 29-storey development is built on a 6.1-acre freehold plot and features 737 residential units ranging from 1,008 square feet to 2,591 square feet. Strategically located in Beverly Heights, Ampang North, the development is a 10km drive from the Kuala Lumpur city centre and easily accessible via highways such as the Middle Ring Road 2, Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway and Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway. The connectivity would allow one to travel to Setapak, Wangsa Maju, Melawati, Pandan Indah, Setiawangsa and Titiwangsa. Various amenities nearby include Giant Supermarket, Melawati Mall, Wangsa Walk Mall, KL East Mall, Fairview International School, Brighton International School and Tunku Abdul Rahman University College. The Sri Rampai LRT station is the closest transport hub within a 5km radius.

 

5 Tiers of Protection for Safety and Wellness

Trinity Sensoria builds on the success of Trinity Wellnessa, the neighbouring project with a RM315 million GDV which pioneered the triple protection system. Officially launched in 2021, Wellnessa already has a 99 percent uptake.

 

Dato’ Neoh Soo Keat, Founder and Managing Director of Trinity Group Sdn Bhd said at the event, “Based on our success with Trinity Wellnessa, we understand that Malaysians now have a better awareness of wellness beyond just the physical aspect. They also appreciate the importance of mental and social wellbeing. Hence, we are thrilled to introduce Trinity Sensoria and its USP, the Five-Tier Protection System which is the first of its kind in Malaysia.”

 

Sensoria’s Five-Tier Protection System is designed with an integrated approach to residents’ safety and well-being by incorporating: contactless technology, wellness-oriented design, physical wellness facilities, social wellness spaces and mental wellness amenities. The name “Sensoria” was selected as it captures the essence of a new-age development that invigorates the five senses with holistic wellness experience for its residents.

 

“Modern homebuyers are seeking more than just a place to stay – they seek a sanctuary that actively supports their well-being. Sensoria provides a peaceful retreat, surrounded by greenery and enhanced by advanced safety and wellness features, so residents can truly ‘Live Well, Live Secure’,” Dato’ Neoh added.

 

Sensoria aims to stimulate residents’ senses through carefully curated amenities that align with contemporary urban living expectations. The development targets a diverse demographic, including middle-upper class families, professionals, investors, empty nesters, and first-time homebuyers. With prices starting from RM608,000 for the 1,008 square feet units,

 

Trinity Sensoria offers unparalleled value in the current market with a plethora of facilities, including an infinity pool, pickleball courts, mini-futsal court, edible garden, outdoor cinema, Himalayan salt sauna and hydrotherapy pods, offering a peaceful environment amidst the lush greenery. It also has a gym, multi-purpose hall, spa villa and many other exciting facilities.

 

Gold Assurance Programme for Sensoria

Trinity Sensoria is among the first developments to benefit from the Gold Assurance Programme, an initiative by Trinity Group designed to enhance homeowner security and confidence. The programme introduces key features that surpass industry norms, offering substantial benefits to homebuyers and investors, all subject to specific terms and conditions:

  • 36-Month Defects Liability Period (DLP): Extending beyond the industry standard of 24 months, this longer period ensures that any defects or other faults due to the defective workmanship or material within the parcel are thoroughly addressed, offering buyers peace of mind and reducing potential repair costs.
  • 10-Year Warranty for Roof Leaks: Surpassing the typical 2-year coverage, this warranty protects buyers from costly repairs and potential water damage, which can significantly impact property value.
  • 5-Year Warranty for Tiles Pop-Up: Going beyond the standard 2-year warranty, this feature ensures that issues like tile popping are addressed, maintaining the property’s appeal and functionality.

The event also marked the 20th anniversary of the CDL 5-Star EHS Awards, its signature initiative to drive EHS excellence. Gathering more than 300 industry leaders, including representatives from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council, migrant workers and partners, the event signals the collective commitment of all value chain stakeholders towards workplace health and safety.

 

Through a series of exciting games that tested teamwork and safety knowledge, participants – migrant workers from various CDL development sites – showed grit and tenacity as they vied for first place. To complement the thematic focus on workplace safety, the event also featured an exhibition on safety standards, in addition to safety-themed game stations and photo booths.

 

Mr Sherman Kwek, CDL’s Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “Workplace safety is a collective responsibility and a shared commitment to protect ourselves, our teams and our families. Starting with a safety-first mindset, everyone’s actions – big or small – form the building blocks of a safer culture. Whether designing safe work plans, double-checking equipment or addressing hazards, every effort counts. As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the CDL 5-Star EHS Awards, we thank the BCA and WSH Council for their leadership in advancing WSH excellence, as well as our builders, consultants and all migrant workers for their partnership in ensuring that every CDL development is clean, green and safe. Safety is our top priority and we will continue to enhance workplace safety and productivity through innovation and digitalisation, making all CDL projects a safe place to work.”

Growth in APAC’s Construction Industry but Inflationary Pressures May Rise in 2025

/in /by
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Global construction consultant Linesight has published its latest Construction Market Insights report for Asia Pacific (APAC) & GCC. The report reveals that construction growth in APAC has proven to be resilient to the volatility of the wider global economy and construction output continues to gain momentum across the region.

 

Activity in APAC’s construction industry remains robust, fuelled by significant investments in the critical sectors of infrastructure, data centres, semiconductors and renewable energy. Key Southeast Asian construction markets such as Singapore and Malaysia, are expected to perform strongly over the next three years.

 

On a macro level, APAC is set to account for 60 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP) growth this year. This positive trajectory is expected to continue in 2025 amidst favourable monetary conditions. GDP growth has also been revised up to 4.4 percent from 4.3 percent. While inflation has started to ease after a period of turbulence, construction inflationary pressures may increase next year. This is largely driven by persistent labour shortages,  increased construction activity and geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East.

 

Labour remains a significant cost factor due to the shortage of skilled workers, a challenge that is more pronounced in developed countries. Coupled with continued strong demand for projects, contractors are experiencing capacity constraints and there remains high levels of pressure on all fronts to deliver on pipeline projects.

 

Following spikes in the first half of 2024, commodity prices have broadly stabilised, but the fluctuating prices of metals remains a concern. Prices of copper and aluminium are higher than they were in 2023 due to supply chain challenges and rising import costs. Strong demand from renewable energy, power and infrastructure sectors is expected to keep upward pressure on prices.

 

The report also highlighted the following Singapore findings:

Industry outlook

  • Singapore’s construction industry growth is expected to slow, due to soft external demand and a decline in construction contracts issued in the first quarter of 2024.
  • However, between 2025 to 2027, industry is forecast to grow, driven by investments in transport, renewable energy, and manufacturing, including the S$21.9 billion high-speed railway project linking Kuala Lumpur to Singapore.

 

Key commodity prices

  • Copper demand is heavily driven by the renewable energy transition across multiple markets including Singapore. Investments in semiconductors and energy storage will also further boost demand and copper prices in Singapore are anticipated to increase ≥ 1 percent – < 5 percent between Q1 2025 and Q2 2025.
  • Steel rebar and steel flat prices are expected to inch downwards in Q4 2024 due to weaker iron ore prices and soft global demand. While prices are anticipated to level off between Q1 2025 to Q2 2025, infrastructure and mega projects are expected to drive long-term price increases.
  • Cement and concrete prices exhibit similar trends and remain elevated. Rising project demand and costs associated with labour, energy and transport have caused prices to inch upwards but a slight easing in prices is expected between the first two quarters of 2025.

 

John Butler, Managing Director, Asia Pacific at Linesight, said: “2024 has been a strong year of growth for the APAC construction industry driven by significant capital injections by both private and public sectors. Despite labour shortages and some volatility in metal prices, the outlook for the industry in 2025 continues to be vibrant as APAC paves the way in the global construction arena, amid high levels of demand and activity in mission-critical sectors.

SG Enable, Singapore’s agency for disability and inclusion, with the Zero Project, a global and research-driven initiative to support the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), co-hosted the inaugural Zero Project Asia Pacific Symposium 2024: Powering Inclusive Businesses.

 

The symposium brought together global thought leaders, social entrepreneurs, government representatives, NGOs, and businesses to advance disability inclusion through sharing good practices from around the world, developing partnerships, and the latest innovations in accessible technology.

 

Senior Parliamentary Secretary Mr. Eric Chua, Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth & Ministry of Social and Family Development, attended as Guest of Honour, giving his support to this inclusive vision. The two-day symposium began with the Inclusive Business Forum, a biennial event organised by SG Enable. Over the last eight years, the forum has expanded its focus on disability-inclusive employment practices to include innovations in employment pathways and good practices in businesses to cater to persons with disabilities as customers or service users.

 

In support of the CRPD which Singapore ratified in 2013 and the Enabling Masterplan 2030, the forum featured perspectives on building an inclusive workplace culture from Enabling Mark organisations (Singapore’s accredited disability-inclusive employers), their Asia counterparts, and employees with disabilities. The plenary discussions also featured innovations such as intersections of inclusive arts and employment, and ICT that enable greater independence. Furthermore, the forum presented a panel discussion on building inclusive spaces.

 

Release of the New Zero Project Report

The Zero Project research publication “Champions of Inclusive Spaces” was unveiled at the symposium. The report selected eight exceptional accessibility projects and two urban planning initiatives which have undergone a rigorous selection process and feature insights from leaders in the field of accessible built environments as well as a curated collection of features and projects.

 

Two landmark projects in Singapore – Enabling Village by SG Enable and the Punggol Library by the National Library Board, both models of universal design and inclusive spaces – are featured in the report. As part of the Zero Project Asia Pacific Symposium 2024, participants also will have the opportunity to tour Singapore’s accessible attractions like Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa, and the Science Centre on 29 November.

 

Launch of Tripartite Partnership for Barrier-Free Accessibility

In one of the key moments at the symposium, SG Enable, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), and the Real Estate Developers’ Association of Singapore (REDAS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance barrier-free access (BFA) routes and scale inclusive infrastructure across Singapore. This milestone collaboration reinforces Singapore’s commitment to accessible spaces and urban innovation for persons with disabilities.

 

This tripartite MOU leverages the strengths of public-private partnerships to drive accessibility forward, using SLA’s geospatial data capabilities to map barrier-free access routes across Singapore. To date, SLA and SG Enable have mapped around 1,100 km of accessible routes in nine key areas such as Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Merah and Orchard, now accessible through SLA’s OneMap app.

 

Under the MOU, SLA will lead the OneMap BFA project, integrating new data from REDAS-member properties into its routing algorithm. SG Enable will guide disability inclusion efforts by advising on accessible design and innovations, while REDAS will engage its members in identifying properties for indoor and outdoor mapping, ultimately helping to improve wayfinding for persons with disabilities. Regular user testing will ensure the project remains responsive to the community’s needs, aiming for a truly inclusive built environment.

 

Mr Colin Low, Chief Executive of SLA, said, “SLA is delighted to partner with SG Enable and REDAS to leverage geospatial expertise to advance barrier-free access (BFA) routes and support more inclusive mobility across Singapore, following the success of the launch of pilot BFA routes on OneMap, Singapore’s authoritative map. This collaboration will augment the current BFA routes on OneMap with wider coverage of indoor routes and new locations, including private commercial properties contributed by REDAS’ members that will make wayfinding in Singapore more inclusive and accessible for mobility-challenged communities.”

 

Ms. Ku Geok Boon, Founding Chief Executive Officer of SG Enable, said, “Our partnership with the Zero Project, now in its second year, continues to expand our network of collaborators dedicated to creating inclusive, sustainable solutions that empower persons with disabilities to lead independent lives. As Singapore’s focal agency for disability and inclusion, we hope to advance, together with our partners, the critical discussions and actions shaping the future of inclusion across the region.”

 

Prof. Dr. Michael Fembek, CEO and Member of the Board, Essl Foundation – Zero Project, said, “The Zero Project works with carefully selected partners in important world regions outside Europe, with the goal of building bridges between the global disability inclusion community and regional innovation ecosystems. Our partnership with SG Enable is a testament to this vision, uniting diverse stakeholders to advance sustainable and innovative solutions for disability inclusion in Singapore and across the Asia Pacific. We are thrilled to have welcomed over 20 international delegates from more than 10 countries, whose participation underscores the power of global cooperation in driving meaningful change.”

By embedding international best practices, innovative technologies, and sustainability certification targets in all our projects, Diriyah Company aims to enhance environmental performance and sustainability credentials at the community and building levels.

 

Jerry Inzerillo, Group CEO of Diriyah Company, said: “We are excited to begin bulk excavation works in the second phase of the Diriyah project, marking another key milestone in the development of ‘The City of Earth’. Progressing ahead of schedule, this excavation will enable the smooth and efficient development of major cultural assets that will attract millions of visitors annually to Diriyah and inspire the world. As we move forward in creating a premier live-work-play destination, we encourage partners to join us on this journey.”

 

Yang Zhiyuan, CEO of China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd (Middle East), commented: “We are honored to collaborate with Diriyah Company on the execution of the Bulk Excavation Works project. We are confident in the success of this project, integrating the advantages of global resources, technical strength, equipment resources and an experienced management team. We will focus on environmental protection awareness and sustainable development concepts during implementation, ensuring the timely delivery of the project, contributing to the preservation of Diriyah’s heritage, cultural exchange and the development goals of Saudi Vision 2030.”

 

The large-scale contract is the latest awarded this year by Diriyah Company, following a $1.55 billion joint venture for Qurain Cultural District, awarded last month in November; a $2.08 billion contract for the Northern District, awarded in July; and another contract worth $2.13 billion to build four luxury hotels and Royal Diriyah Equestrian & Polo Club in Wadi Safar, also in July.

 

This excavation contract marks another key milestone in the realization of the Diriyah masterplan, showcasing the rapid progress of the 14-sq km integrated urban development project. The Diriyah Company is responsible for the Diriyah and the Wadi Safar masterplans, which encompass more than 40 hotels, arts districts, museums, and world-class sporting venues within a vibrant new global destination on the outskirts of Riyadh, the capital city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
