CBD properties offers Malaysians landed homes near Australia’s Gold Coast
At a price point of just above RM1million, Malaysians can own a detached landed property, but what can this price tag get you in Australia? It could get you a place that’s close to endless stretches of white sandy shorelines and you could even pick up a new hobby like surfing.
The said locale is Gold Coast’s suburban jewel – Pimpama, a rapidly blooming town offering several townships as well as business districts, laced with reasonably priced landed property. CBD Properties Sdn Bhd is now offering Malaysians a chance to own a residence in this Queensland boom-town with the launch of The Meadows Estate by Choice Homes Australia.
Why Pimpama?
The benefits of investing in this rapidly growing suburb are many. But first, let’s address why one should consider investing a property in Australia now. The simple fact is that Australia, and Gold Coast specifically, have seen monumental changes and will continue to flourish over the next few years.
Some of the interesting enhancements include a newly completed RM5.2bil Gold Coast University Hospital – largest in the region, the completion of a RM4.62bil stage one of the G: Link light rail network, and the Southeast Queensland infrastructure revolution currently taking shape – more than RM43.4bil committed thus far on underground tunnel networks, upgrades to motorways, a second gateway bridge, as well as upgraded and extended rail links.
The groundbreaking project will also focus on an increase in community services including public hospitals, universities, businesses and commercial parks, and international sporting facilities. Aside from focusing on long-term tourism infrastructure projects, Gold Coast is also famed for holding the track record of welcoming 12 million holidaymakers yearly.
The Meadows Estate
The Meadows Estate is a green getaway as its developer, Leda Living Pty Ltd, has fashioned the township to preserve the natural environment, without disrupting the well-being of its “native residents”, for example, the laughing kookaburra.
Despite being nature conscious, the estate offers natural gas supply, typically used for heating homes in the winter, and NBN fiber optic or broadband connection networks to ensure that home owners are always well connected.
The RM756mil development will be housed over a 217-acre plot of land, which is in close proximity to the new Pimpama Junction shopping centre, Pimpama Secondary and Primary College, a new RM89mil Coomera Tafe, Queensland Rails’ Coomera station, an 18-hole championship golf course and Coomera’s Marine Precint.
The city of Gold Coast has also given the green light for a RM4.33bil 148-acre hub comprising shopping, dining and entertainment to enhance the Pimpama-Coomera region dubbed, the Coomera Town Centre.
Designed to be the flagship of the planned town center, the colossal structure will also host government and commercial offices, a hospital, and medical facilities aside from providing educational institutions to cater to all levels. Adding to that, two world class retail outlets will also call the establishment home.
The Meadows is merely 20 minutes away from the popular Surfers Paradise, and just 30 minutes away from Brisbane’s CBD. Future residents can commute to and from work using the M1 urban road corridor close by, as well as a proposed bus-rail interchange.
On August 15 and 16, CBD Properties will host an Australian property investment workshop that would take place at the sales gallery located at the Oasis Square, Ara Damansara. For more information, visit www.cbd.com.my
