Knight Frank Malaysia executive director of research and consultancy Amy Wong said Puncak Alam has good potential to evolve into a more self-sustaining commercial hub, with room for rental yield and price appreciation to improve.
Agreeing with her, Savills Malaysia group managing director Datuk Paul Khong said with the area’s continued growth in both population and industrial and commercial activities, the area is becoming more developed and liveable, providing strong support to the growth of the commercial property segment now and in the future.
