J. SATINE PROJECT TO RESUME FOR SOHO UNITS AND TWO BLOCKS

KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 (Bernama) – The J. Satine development project, previously halted due to structural cracks in Block C, has been approved to resume for the SOHO units, as well as Blocks A and B.

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) in a statement said the decision followed the Independent Check Consultant Progress Report dated February 24, prepared by a Certified Professional Engineer.

However, Blocks C and D must first undergo structural repairs and foundation reinforcement before construction on those buildings can continue.

“This recommendation has been supported by the independent engineer and certified for building safety and stability by the structural design engineers involved in the J. Satine development,” the statement said.

DBKL has also required the project’s consulting engineers to submit a Monthly Progress Report and Repair Completion Report, which must be reviewed and verified by the Independent Consultant, at the end of each month.

In addition, the developer, Jayyid Land Sdn. Bhd., has been instructed to conduct an engagement session with J. Satine unit buyers and relevant agencies including the Office of the Member of Parliament for Wangsa Maju, the Federal Territories Department, and the National Housing Department within two weeks from the issuance date of the Stop Work Order Withdrawal Letter.

“DBKL is committed to ensuring that all actions taken regarding the J. Satine development are guided by the principles of accountability, safety, transparency, and integrity.

“DBKL will also continue to monitor the implementation of repairs and the progress of the project closely and responsibly, in the interest of all stakeholders,” the statement added.

Previously, DBKL issued a stop-work order for a construction site in Wangsa Maju following structural cracks in Block C of the J. Satine project.
