CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
AS WE USHER IN 2014, I CAN’T HELP
BUT REFLECT HOW FAR MITRALAND
HAS COME.
Achieving international recognition for 2 major developments for 2 years
in a row speaks highly of Mitraland and the great team dynamics at play.
It was a proud moment to have stood in front of international peers while
accepting the International Property Award for Best Development Multiple
Units for 16 Quartz, Melawati.
16 Quartz encapsulates the Zen balance of luxury living with an
environmentally conscious lifestyle. Luxury in the form of spacious villas with

complete, purchasers will get to experience the iconic development at its
finest – an inspiring architectural façade combined with multiple water
features and all essential amenities at their fingertips.
Earthworks and piling for VINA is well underway and progressing right
on schedule. We are excited that our vision of a modern and exciting
residential sanctuary in South Cheras is materializing. And judging from
the 80% overall take-up rate of the 3 Tower blocks, the Cheras community
has readily embraced the urban resort lifestyle concept of VINA.
Not one to rest on our laurels, we will continue to challenge ourselves to
become better and more importantly, to always be relevant in terms of
design, functionality and innovation.
We are looking forward to what 2014 has in store for Mitraland Group
and we hope you will continue with us on our journey forward. LIVE GREEN, LIVE LUXURIOUSLY

Chairman
