KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 22) — Mah Sing Group Bhd has completed M Astra in Setapak well ahead of schedule, marking a major milestone with an 89% Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC) score. This is the highest rating achieved by the group to date and the first project under its M Series to attain the QLASSIC benchmark.
Founder and group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum said the achievement reflects Mah Sing’s commitment to execution discipline and quality delivery. The fully sold development was completed 15 months earlier than planned, despite construction beginning during the height of the pandemic.
He noted that strong project management and disciplined execution enabled the group to accelerate construction while maintaining high standards — a key differentiator in Malaysia’s competitive property market, including segments such as commercial property in KL and office space in Bukit Jalil, where timely delivery is increasingly critical.
Looking ahead, Leong said Mah Sing will continue adopting a cautious and market-responsive launch strategy in 2026. New developments will be rolled out selectively, guided by buyer demand, location fundamentals and long-term sustainability considerations.
Upcoming launches will span major growth corridors in the Klang Valley, Johor, and Penang, covering residential projects, industrial developments and selected mixed-use schemes. This diversified strategy positions the group to capture opportunities across multiple asset classes, including industrial land in Selangor and industrial property in the Subang area, where demand remains resilient.
Each project launch, he added, is assessed based on micro-market dynamics, infrastructure readiness, affordability and future growth potential. Mah Sing also plans to continue expanding its landbank in Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Penang to support long-term expansion.
Group CEO and executive director Datuk Voon Tin Yow highlighted that M Astra also achieved a 97.03% Safety and Health Assessment in Construction (SHASSIC) score, reflecting the group’s strong safety standards. The project recorded more than four million man-hours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI), reinforcing its emphasis on workplace safety.
M Astra is a mixed-use development with a gross development value (GDV) of approximately RM618 million. It comprises two towers of serviced suites offering three- and four-bedroom layouts, with unit sizes ranging from 850 to 1,044 sq ft. The project features 38 lifestyle facilities, including additions such as a pickleball court and karaoke room introduced during later construction stages.
Its commercial component includes 24 retail units, featuring drive-through food and beverage outlets that are fully tenanted by brands such as Jollibee and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf — reflecting continued demand for well-located retail and commercial property in KL.
Meanwhile, M Azura, Mah Sing’s third residential project in the Setapak area, is positioned as an affordable high-rise serviced apartment development. Built on a four-acre site with an estimated GDV of RM508 million, the project offers two-, three- and four-bedroom units sized between 700 and 1,000 sq ft, with prices starting from RM381,000.
The development will include more than 40 facilities, such as co-working spaces, a gym, badminton court, multipurpose halls and a yoga deck. Its sales gallery in Wangsa Maju is now open to the public.
In addition, Mah Sing’s ‘Grab Your Dream Home’ campaign is running until March 31, offering prizes worth over RM1 million, including a residential unit as the grand prize, subject to terms and conditions.
