JOHOR BAHRU, March 1  -- A total of 427 housing units will be built on a 14.56-hectare land in Taman Perbadanan Islam (TPI) Pontian near here, with legal costs for the sale and purchase agreements between developer and buyers to be fully borne by the Johor government.

Menteri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad said the project comprised 46 units of type A affordable houses under the Rumah Mampu Biaya Johor scheme at a price of RM42,000, type B (64 units) at a price of RM80,000 and type C (57 units) at a price of RM150,000.

“Some 254 units of medium-sized double-storey houses priced at RM290,000 and six medium-cost shop units will also be built. The development cost of TPI Pontian will be fully borne by the state government and PIJ Holdings will act as the implementing agency and project manager.

“The legal costs are borne to assist and facilitate Pontian people in owning these houses,” he said when launching the TPI Pontian project, which was streamed live on PIJ Holdings’ Facebook page today.

Meanwhile, he said the development of the Pontian district would become more rapid when the construction works of the Sungai Pulai Bridge spanning 7.5 kilometres to connect Gelang Patah to Tanjung Bin, Pontian are completed in October next year.

“The bridge construction which costs around RM700 million is now 37 per cent complete. The travel time from Pontian to Johor Bahru which takes one hour now will be reduced to only 15 minutes when the bridge is complete.

“The development of TPI Pontian is timely and Pontian district will continue to grow as a city and the housing needs will also increase,” said Hasni who is also the PIJ Holdings chairman.

TPI Pontian with an allocation of RM310 million is the fifth TPI developed by PIJ Holdings after TPI Kebun Teh, TPI Jalan Datin Halimah, TPI Larkin and TPI Stulang Baru.

The construction of TPI is to provide a conducive housing environment with necessary public facilities such as surau, community hall, kindergarten, playground and others.
