PETALING JAYA: Astaka Holdings Ltd (Astaka), a leading integrated property developer based in Johor, has appointed Knight Frank Property Management Sdn Bhd (KFPM) as the property manager for Astaka’s upcoming prestigious residential project in Mount Austin, Aliva Mount Austin (Aliva), which has an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM254mil in Johor Bahru.
“Our vision for Aliva is to create an unparalleled five-star lifestyle and living experience,” said executive director and chief executive officer Allen Khong at the appointment letter signing ceremony. “As one of Malaysia's most experienced and reputable property managers, KFPM's ability to uphold the highest standards of service and quality aligns with this goal perfectly.”
KFPM is also the property manager for Astaka's flagship residential project, The Astaka @ One Bukit Senyum since 2019, which was also recognised as the tallest residential skyscraper in Southeast Asia upon its completion in 2018. Approximately 70% of its units were purchased by buyers from 15 different countries including Singapore, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Germany, Brunei and Finland.
“We are honoured to be appointed as the property manager for Aliva, the first serviced residence in this thriving township,” said KFPM managing director Kuruvilla Abraham. “At KFPM, our mission is to deliver outstanding property management services to both our clients and residents. We wish to express our sincere thanks to Astaka for this appointment and look forward to expanding our partnership.”
