FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DOUBLE CELEBRATION AT TROPICANA CORPORATION BERHAD

Grand Opening of Tropicana’s Flagship Property Gallery at Tropicana City

Official Unveiling of the New Tropicana Corporate Website

Petaling Jaya (3 September 2014) – Property developer Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana”

or “Group”) celebrated two significant events at Tropicana City, Petaling Jaya. Today marks the

grand opening of Tropicana’s Flagship Property Gallery as well as the official unveiling of its new

corporate website – www.tropicanacorp.com.my

Aimed to provide a one-stop information centre to Tropicana’s loyal and new purchasers, the

Flagship Property Gallery is located on the ground floor, at the centre court of Tropicana City Mall.

The Mall is strategically fronting the SPRINT and LDP highways – conveniently located and easily

accessible from Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur.

To provide a complete Tropicana experience, the Group has designed the Flagship gallery to provide

guests with a memorable visit. The showroom focuses on strengthening dialogues between guests

and sales consultants, by showcasing a wide array of Tropicana’s integrated developments in an

exclusive lounge-like setting. A large 3 x 5 metre LED video wall serves as a source of entertainment,

information and as antidotes to perceive waiting times at the gallery. Guests will also be given an

insight into Tropicana’s development DNA, one that is built on the cornerstones of: accessibility,

connectivity, innovative concepts and designs, generous open spaces, amenities, facilities, multi-

tiered security and quality.

In line with its rebranding exercise, Tropicana has also unveiled its new corporate website. With its

seamless navigation, user-friendly and interactive features, the Group designed the site with its

users in mind. The main objective is to ensure that the site is a valuable resource and useful portal

for old, new or even potential customers.

Speaking at the opening of the Flagship Property Gallery, Dato’ Yau Kok Seng, Group Chief Executive

Officer of Tropicana said, “It is said that home is where the heart is. This rings especially true as we

have always believed in building homes that not only appeal to the eyes and minds of our

consumers, but to their hearts as well. Fuelled by our passion to develop products that are linked to

our development DNA, we want to introduce the right projects in the right locations, at the right

prices. We also plan to appeal to our purchasers via product differentiation, attractive packages and

emphasis on land market segment. We appreciate the continuous support and therefore, we have

crafted an array of special events and packages to our customers.”

In conjunction with the double celebration, Tropicana presented “Redefining the Art of Living”

showcase that runs from 3 September till 19 October 2014. Guests were presented to a grand

showcase of inspired living choices focusing on premier developments in the prime hotspots of

Penang, Klang Valley, Iskandar Malaysia and Kota Kinabalu. During the course of this showcase,

prospective purchasers will be introduced to a bevy of attractive packages.

Moving forward, the Group is preparing to launch new phases of terrace homes in Tropicana

Heights, Kajang, and a third serviced apartment block in Tropicana Gardens, a mixed residential

development located in Kota Damansara with close proximity to the Dataran Sunway MRT station.

Fairfield Residences, the first phase of terrace houses in Tropicana Heights is almost sold out whilst

the first two blocks of serviced apartments in Tropicana Gardens, namely Arnica and Bayberry have

received overwhelming response, with Arnica fully sold and Bayberry only having only a few units

remaining. Tropicana is also planning the maiden launch at Tropicana Aman at Kota Kemuning, an

integrated township development on 1,172 acres, previously known as Tropicana Canal City.

Prospects for the Group remain robust. The Group’s 2,200 acres of landbank across the key growth

regions in Malaysia, with total estimated GDV of over RM70 billion, is strategic and prime. There is strong

potential for unlocking value in these landbanks, and for Tropicana to sustain growth in its continuing

focus to transform into a premier property group in Malaysia.
