and our consultants and contractors, SibuJaya would find it very challenging to achieve this degree of success and growth,\u201d he said in a statement after the awards ceremony.<\/p>\n Mohd Fadzil pointed out that this was the third award SibuJaya has picked up since its inception, the first being for Planning Excellence and the second was for Residential Development.<\/p>\n \u201cWith this third award for commercial development, I am confident it will inspire and spur our team to work even harder for SibuJaya\u2019s exciting and vibrant growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Sapphire East has been in the spotlight recently for its larger than average units.<\/p>\n From the built-up size of its intermediate units at almost 1,700sq ft per floor to its double frontage designs combined with a sprawling pedestrian piazza, the award must have served as an icing on the cake for the developer.<\/p>\n SibuJaya currently has more than 30,000 people living in around 6,000 homes.<\/p>\n There are three schools with the government moving quickly to create another two schools.<\/p>\n This was to reduce the burden on the existing schools whose burgeoning student population was reportedly at maximum capacity.<\/p>\n Fast food operator KFC will soon have a new neighbour Sugar Bun within the township as the commercial segment of the township expands quickly, with major supermarkets and outlets doing brisk business not just on weekends but weekdays as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n SIBU: Distrepark Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Amcorp Properties, received the Commendation Award during the Sarawak Housing and Real Estate Developers\u2019 Association (Sheda) annual dinner in Kuching recently.<\/p>\n The award was for developing the three-storey sprawling commercial development Sapphire East \u2013 a new commercial area in Sibu Jaya.<\/p>\n Distrepark director Mohd Fadzil Abdul Hamid said this was the third award Sibu Jaya has received since its inception, the first being for Planning Excellence and the second for Residential Development.<\/p>\n \u201cWithout the guidance of the government and the relevant authorities, the support of the business community and residents of Sibu Jaya and our consultants and contractors, Sibu Jaya would find it very challenging to achieve this degree of success and growth.<\/p>\n \u201cWith this third award for commercial development, I am confident it will inspire and spur our team to work even harder for Sibu Jaya\u2019s exciting and vibrant growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Sapphire East offers intermediate units with a built-up size of almost 1,700 square feet per floor, double frontage design, and a sprawling pedestrian piazza.<\/p>\n Sibu Jaya has 6,000 homes and a population of around 30,000.<\/p>\n There are three schools in the township, with two additional schools expected to be built soon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The vibrant township of SibuJaya picked up its latest award during the Sarawak Housing & Real Estate Developer Annual Dinner and Excellence Awards held in Kuching over the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2294,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2287"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2287"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2287\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2296,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2287\/revisions\/2296"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}https:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/metro\/metro-news\/2017\/11\/16\/another-feather-in-the-cap-for-sibujaya-developer-gets-award-for-sprawling-threestorey-commercial-de<\/a><\/h3>\n
