Tambun Indah, which has some RM60 million in cash reserves, has not decided on any particular land yet but is on the lookout for suitable landbank.
"We are eyeing for landbank in the Klang Valley and have viewed some land in Shah Alam and Kajang, but we have not finalised anything yet," said managing director Teh Kiak Seng in Kuala Lumpur.
The company also plans to invest some RM178 million to purchase two more parcles of land of about 1.62ha each in Penang next year.
Currently, Tambun Indah owns 86ha of land in Penang, with a gross development value (GDV) of about RM1 billion which should keep it busy for the next six years.
Last year, it also had some 10 per cent of the residential property market in Seberang Perai, namely through its Tambun Indah development project.
"Seberang Perai is one of the fastest growing districts in Penang due to the rise of working class population as a result of rapid industrialisation," he said at the company's prospectus launch yesterday.
Tambun Indah is seeking to raise RM22.4 milion from its initial public offering exercise, of which RM12.7 million will be allocated for working capital, RM7.1 million to repay bank borrowings and RM2.6 million for the listing exercise.
Of the 32 million new ordinary shares under the public issue, 11.05 million share will be allocated to the public at 70 sen a share.
Applications for Tambun Indah's shares close on January 6 2011 and subsequently, the company will be listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia on January 18.
Established in 1994, Tambun Indah has completed eight projects, selling more than 2,800 units with a total GDV of more than RM800 million.
Its ongoing projects include Pearl Garden, a gated residential project located in Simpang Ampat which is set to be completed in 2016 and Juru Heights in Seberang Perai, a gated residential project that is expected to be completed early next year.
