5.OCCUPANCY STATUS
5.1 Tenancy

as advised.
6.VALUATION METHODOLOGY
6.1 Basis of Valuation

The valuation approach to the subject property consider the private financing investment
(PFI) on the specialised building specific towards investment returns on tourism.
The subject property is an approved tourism project development of a landmark retail and
leisure destination with the unique Arab architecture concept that portrays the authentic and
rich tapestry of Arabian culture.
Arabic-styled cultural enclave is designed to house 200 bazaars, 15 authentic Middle East
restaurants and cafes, Arabic health and beauty spas, and an ancient Egyptian museum.
The development also includes a Malacca One Condo and Arab Oasis Hotel, an over 4 acres
of prime waterfront land.

We have adopted the ‘Cost Method Approach” in formulating our opinion of the current
Market Value of the subject property.

1- Land:
Land valuation is based on most recent land transaction values of surrounding plots in
the immediate vicinity with similar features (commercial waterfront). The average price
per sq. ft. has been found to be RM1,250.00.
Land Size was found to be 356,700 sq ft. in total.

Land Market Valuation (MV) = 356,700 sq ft x RM1,250.00 = RM455,875,000

2- Built-up Property

It should be appreciated that an assessment of the likely costs of fully reinstating a property
is a complex and detailed exercise usually undertaken by a building or quantity surveyor.

The following estimate is provided purely for guidance purposes to assist the named client
in their consideration of the stated business proposal. Whilst the estimate provided allows
for the approximate costs of demolition, debris removal and professional fees, and assumes
the use of modern materials, construction techniques and compliance with all current
building regulations, it makes no allowance for any alterations to the layout or
configuration of the property which may be required for the on-going use of the premises.
We noted the publication of Malaysian Construction Cost Handbook Malaysia 2016 ( KDN
PP10466/05/2013(032500)) the followings

Average construction cost of main development area in the country, for Commercial /
Office in the category of retail malls, high end
Region RM / m2 Average RM /ft2
Kuala Lumpur 1910 - 2400 200
Johor Bahru 2790 - 3620 300
Penang 2120 - 2620 220

We assume average of RM 240 psf and adjusted by 10% allowance for building
construction cost in Melaka in consideration of supply logistic distance from main active
areas above.

On these specific assumptions, we suggest that the reinstatement figure for the existing
structure (exclusive of GST) should be as per calculation model below.
