Our Work

The main thrust of Farlim’s activities is the development of a new township known as Bandar Baru Ayer Itam on the island of Penang. The township is located in a targeted growth area, 5km from Georgetown. It represents the single largest development undertaken by a private sector developer on the island, covering 356 acres and comprising approximately 13,000 residential and commercial units.

Bandar Baru Ayer Itam is being rapidly transformed into a fully-integrated township which comprised a commercial centre offering various services like hypermarket, banks, pharmacies, clinics, restaurants, post office, petrol kiosk, kindergartens, police stations and many others. The development in the Bandar Baru Ayer Itam township is expected to be completed by the year 2027.

Total number of units sold to date is 13,111 units with a total sales value of RM1.31 billion.

Farlim has designed and built apartments for the Royal Malaysian Police within Bandar Baru Ayer Itam. The project was the first under the government’s crash housing programme in 1990 that was contracted to the private sector and covered 980 units of three bedroom apartments, one police station, three community halls and suraus in addition to other community facilities. The project was completed in 1992 with a total sales value of RM61.25 million.

Property Development Projects in the pipeline:

  • Another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group had obtained approval from Lembaga Perumahan Dan Hartanah Selangor on 27 September 2022 for proposed development of 437 units of Selangorku Harapan apartments and shoplots in Saujana Impian, Kajang, Selangor. Planning Permission application to the Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (“MPKJ”) has been submitted. To-date, the KM approval/endorsement is yet to be obtained due to technical conditions being imposed by the Engineering Department of MPKJ and BSSB has submitted a technical appeal to MPKJ.
  • The technical condition imposed by MPKJ’s Engineering Department has affected the overall layout of the building footprint. Amendment would have to be made to the Planning Permission application in order to comply with the Engineering Department’s requirement. In the meantime, LPHS is currently revising the policy for RSKU with regards to selling price, amenities requirement and design specification of the apartments. These revisions may impact the overall configuration ofthe development. The Planning Permission application for the 430 units RSKU is being put on hold.

  • Revised planning permission for the development of 48 units condominium in Bandar Baru Air Itam, Penang has been obtained. In line with the prevailing property sector outlook and products demand, the Company is currently revisiting the existing development and configurations with a view of further maximizing the project economics.
