The Tanjong Batu Apartments is a pilot project fronted by Armada Properties to refurbish old apartments into modern homes to support the government’s efforts in maximising the use of existing assets as part of its sustainable development vision. Located at Jalan Tanjong Batu, Muara, the project features 48 two-bedroom apartments in a gated compound, with amenities such as a badminton court, common room, gym and cafeteria.
Meanwhile, the incubation programme is aimed at enhancing the capabilities and competency of local businesses. Armada Properties will provide business opportunities and technical know-how while DARe will provide training and development through its existing programmes and initiatives.
Through a rigorous selection process, three companies have been invited to participate in the programme – Suzana Amin Development Sdn Bhd and HANR Sdn Bhd in the housekeeping services category, and Grocer Local Enterprise to operate The Korner, a convenient store at Armada Properties’ Rimba Estate.
