KUALA LUMPUR: MAGNA PRIMA BHD [] is making into foray into Australia to undertake a mixed residential and commercial project in Melbourne with an indicative gross development cost of A$148 million (RM482.18 million).

The company said on Friday, Aug 5 it expected to record a profit of A$62 million (RM200.32 million) from the project.

Magna Prima had on Friday signed a conditional contract of sale with Yucai Australia Pty Ltd to purchase 2,761 sq metres of land for A$26 million (RM84.01 million) on Beckett Street, Melbourne.

The land would be developed into a mixed residential and commercial project to be known as Dynasty Living.

The project would comprise a contemporary 26 level mixed development of 320 residential apartments contained within a main tower, complemented by seven retail/commercial tenancies.

The apartments and retail/commercial tenancies would have 130 single and 51 tandem car spaces providing for 181 apartments.

“The indicative gross development cost is A$148 million with an expected profit of A$62 million. CONSTRUCTION [] is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2011, and to be completed in 2013,” it said.

Magna Prima said the development cost would be its own funds and/or bank borrowings. The planning permit from the Minister of Planning was obtained on May 5, 2002 and amended on Oct 6, 2009.

“As part of the company’s plan of putting a strong footing for growth, the proposed acquisition will be the company’s first step in placing the group on the global map,” it said.
