SoHo (small office home office) concept property developments apparently are getting popular in

Malaysia. It is the property trend in Malaysia.

Why SoHo concept everywhere nowadays? This is simply because the traffic congestion is

getting worst everyday, people want to avoid traffic jam and saving their time for maximum work

productivity, especially for those who are in their own business.

Besides, the office rental rates are getting higher and higher. In another words, bigger office

space means higher office rent cost. Therefore, SoHo office becoming a good idea for small

company business plan which might need only small office space for one to five staffs.

6/15

The Star Online, November 20, 2006

CENTRIO at Pantai Hillpark sold out the first 126 SOHO

units in two days of its recent preview!

This is cause for celebration for the developer Syarikat

Kemajuan Perumahan Negara Sdn Bhd (a wholly-owned

subsidiary of YTL Land & Development Bhd) as the stylishSpanish-inspired Centrio, with a SOHO (small office home

office) concept is probably the first of its kind in the area.

All 84 SOHO units that were opened for sale in the first

block were snapped up and YTL Land had to open a

second block and 42 units were also sold despite an

increase in price from RM280 psf to RM320 psf. Ten office units in the first block were also sold.

Although the SOHO concept has become increasingly popular in recent years, some of these projects have not been

very successful.

So why is the Centrio such a big hit?

My guess is the prime location as it is very near Kuala Lumpur city and has a nearby LRT station, unique concept where

no two units are alike, the YTL name and maybe because purchasers want to emulate those who had bought YTL

Land's adjacent Andalucia at Pantai Hillpark that won the FIABCI Malaysia Property Award 2006 for best residential

development.

Centrio's achievement is reminiscent of Pantai Hillpark's Phase 1 launch in 1991 when 50% of the 298 units priced from

RM152,300 were sold within two days and all units gone by the end of two months.

This kind of "blitzkrieg" sales is quite rare in the current soft property market. Purchasers who thronged Starhill Gallery's

Explore floor last week to attend the Urban Sanctuary (an exclusive event showcasing the Centrio) must have realised

that they could not go wrong when investing in Pantai Hillpark as its units enjoy more than 100% capital appreciation,

and a rental yield of 9 to 10%.

Most of the buyers are professionals and YTL repeat buyers especially those who have bought properties in Pantai

Hillpark.

A public relations consultant, who drove me to Andalucia last week to refresh my memory, said she bought a SOHO

suite because it fits her single lifestyle. Besides getting 24-hour multi-tiered security her unit will be broadband

connected and Wifi enabled.

Centrio comprises 268 units of SOHO units in three blocks (623 sq ft to 1,361 sq ft built -up) that stand at four storeys

above the retail and office floors, 24 units of office suites (440 sq ft to 2,614 sq ft) and 21 ground level retail stores (661

sq ft to 2,821 sq ft/for leasing only).

Every SOHO suite is a duplex and features a two-storey high ceiling or windows, and a powder room for guests.

After a presentation by YTL's senior architect Chong Yee Loon, I realise that this is no ordinary SOHO but one that

Chong has put her heart and soul into turning it into an adorable place for one to work, live and play.

Within four months she has not only created SOHO units out of interlocking "cubes" of 3.8 sq metres each (three cubes

on the ground floor and two cubes on the upper floor) and stacked them like Lego bricks but also designed interesting

The SOHO suites at the proposed Centrio at Pantai Hillpark.

outdoor features with cosy corners for meetings under shady trees and rendezvous spots complete with swing lounges,

bamboo overhangs and tables with sunken space to put the legs.

Her thrust is on sustainable design, environmentally friendly and security. "Our tagline is multiple choice and no wrong

answers," she said.

There are also sky bridges linking the blocks as well as water features and an almost Olympic-size swimming pool in

the centre.

Amenities include a lap pool, business centre and shared conference rooms, which make the work/home experience

seamless and enjoyable. Renowned landscape architect Sek San will be creating a lush modern landscape.

Chong who also designed the Andalucia has also laid the blocks parallel to each other so that the adjacent Phase 1

Pantai Hillpark units would not face Centrio's units directly but see through into the common areas.

The design team has given the retail, office and residential spaces their own access points and parking facilities.

Each of the eight types of SOHO suites boasts of its unique design elements like spiral staircase that leads to an opensun deck above the suite or roof gardens or private sloped lawn with direct access from the unit to parking bay area.

One design has a skylight that sits above the stairway while another has balconies that extend the living space to the

outdoors. Each suite comes with a solar panel for the water heater.

Centrio's design is modern as compared to Andalusia's traditional Mediterranean theme (216 units of condovillas priced

from RM298,000. It was launched in March 2002 and sold out).

Centrio's 3.8-acre commercial land was originally meant for shop offices but as YTL Land's executive director Datuk

Yeoh Seok Kian explained the SOHO concept came about when research showed that many young people wanted to

work from home that also gave them unlimited flexibility. Thats why we designed SOHO duplexes in eight varieties, so

that they will have many options in terms of space and design. Innovation is the key to success today, he said, adding

that some bought two to three units.

Rainwater is collected in storage tanks and used for watering the landscapes and for other uses, he said.

With the completion of Andalucia, there is now 45 acres left out of Pantai Hillpark's 90 acres. The last phase of 40 acres

on a small hill would be for bungalows and semi-detached houses.

YTL Land has partly transformed Pantai Dalam from its squatter and low-cost housing image into one of Kuala

Lumpur's most sought-after addresses. It has helped to spruce up the road to its development but the authorities

concerned should also do its part like relocating the unsightly hawker stalls that line the nearby roadsides.

With the advent of information,

communication, technology (ICT) and the new

culture of working, which includes flexible

working hours, limited service workers, and

service-based business, the small office home

office (SOHO) concept has become a hit

among young entrepreneurs and executives.For YTL Corporation, its SOHO concept came

about following their Land & Development

Sales and Marketing teams research, which

revealed that an increasing number of young

people are looking for living spaces that

offered greater flexibility. As the younger

generation assumes more economic power

and becomes more entrepreneurial, they tend

to seek a place where they can work and live

out of. The research also revealed that a

majority of them are from the service industry,

where work will require them to be always on-

the-move, with no need for big office spaces.

They are also looking for their first home,

hence they will be drawn to a concept that

allows them to work from home.

Designed differently

Inspired by the rising popularity of SOHO units

in New York where warehouses aretransformed into unique and tastefully designed SOHO units, Centrio in Pantai Hillpark, Bangsar,

pulls together modern spaces to deliver a new way of working and living. The architectural

design of Centrio was kept consistent with the overall Mediterranean theme of Pantai Hillpark,

which since year 1991 has created a distinct identity for the entire development. It also

transformed the overall Pantai Dalam area which was previously known as the backyard slum of

Kuala Lumpur.

Sporting a modern twist that appeals to the younger target audience, it is also designed to

maintain the low-rise, low-density feature of the other Pantai Hillpark developments. Centrio

features a unique faade for each unit. Inside the SOHO suites, innovative layouts blur the linesbetween bedroom and boardroom while courtyards and sun-dappled gardens outside allow

moments of inspiration to illuminate ones day.

Baldip Singh, an award-winning architect who heads the architects and interior design team at

the YTL Design Group, noted that the design of the buildings were inspired by everyday living

that are still, constant and modular. It is easy to create interlocking units that can be repeated to

continue a linear formation or composition, but yet present an ever-changing faade.

One might ask, what does that mean? (laughs) Well, for example, when you look at a row of

mailbox or a line of pipes, it looks linear and still, yet it is in fact made of individual units that arebonded together, creating a linear formation. The same concept applies to Centrio, where it's

actually made of identical units but arranged differently to present an ever changing faade,

Singh explains.

Modern landscaping: Done by renowned landscape

architect Ng Sek San, the lush landscape gives the

overall development a distinct aesthetic statement


10/15

Individuality is the key promise of Centrio. Its SOHO suites reflect homeowners' demand for

clean open spaces that can be interpreted and designed according to their desire. Depending on

the layout, each SOHO unit offers double volume space, stunning floor-to-ceiling windows,

spacious rooftop gardens, illuminating skylights and open sundecks on the rooftop.

Uniquely designed: Each SOHO unit boasts double volume space, stunning floor-to-ceiling windows, and

spacious work and play area

Comprehensive facilities and modern landscaping

Centrios SOHO suites come with a host of amenities such as a lap pool, rooftop garden, a

gymnasium that overlooks the pool, a fully equipped business centre and shared conference

rooms, which make the work and home experience seamless and enjoyable.

The development also features separate access points for residential, office and retail spaces for

greater security and privacy. Furthermore, the lush modern landscaping, orchestrated byrenowned landscape architect Ng Sek San, serves to enhance the overall developments value,

while making a distinct aesthetic statement. As a developer, YTL Land is very adventurous and

has given us a free reign on the design and look of the development. Usually when we get the

free reign, something unusual will happen, says Ng.

Award winning development

Centrios appeal and value was recognised recently when it clinched four awards at the CNBC

Asia Pacific Property Awards 2009, for 'Best Mixed Development' and 'The Architecture Award'

under the Commercial category and 'Best Architecture' and 'Best Property Marketing' in the

Residential category.

http://www.malaysiapropertynews.net/2011/01/soho-suites-klcc-a-revolutionary-concept-of-live-work-culture.html

ENTREPRENEURS, part-time business owners and IT start-ups favour theSmall Office, Home Office (SOHO) concept with the rationale that workingfrom home saves commuting time and expense, while reducing the cost of

starting up a business.This concept are parallel with the ideas from theRobert Kiyosaki in Rich Dad Poor Dad.He said that people are nowrushing like a rat racedoing what we are called working for a moneyinstead of money working for us

Baru-baru ini terdapat beberapa e-mail yang saya terima meminta agar diterangkan konsep SoHo

ini di dalam bahasa melayu.Menurut mereka,informasi seperti ini memang telah banyak & mudah

didapati di dalam bahasa Inggeris.Cari sahaja di Google pasti akan jumpa banyak result.

Berkenaan SoHo nie..ia adalah salah satu konsep atau jenis perniagaan yang agak baru di negara

kita.Mungkin ada juga yang telah mempraktikkannya tetapi baru-baru ini SoHo mendapat

perhatian meluas.SoHo ialah dari perkataan Small Office Home Office yang memberikan

maksud praktikal sesebuah perniagaan yang dioperasikan dari kediaman atau bekerja dari

rumah.Secara konsistennya kebanyakkan SoHo ini menggunakan keupayaan internet sebagai nadi

utama operasi.Selebihnya,ia juga mempunyai matlamat menjimatkan kos kerana tidak perlu

menyewa pejabat.Ada juga yang berpendapat,SoHo ialah trend bekerja masa kini di mana kita

boleh mengautomasikan kerja dari rumah dan penggunaan komputer memungkinkan

perhubungan boleh dilakukan melalui video call/cenference dan kerja-kerja boleh di buat secara

remote atau automatik sepenuhnya.

Jadi,mereka yang ingin memulakan perniagaan internet atau professional sekalipun boleh

menjadikan SoHo sebagai satu hala tuju bisnes.Kelebihan SoHo ialah anda hanya bekerja dari

rumah,tidak perlu ke pejabat..masa kerja yg.lebih fleksibel dan menurut Robert Kiyosaki andadapat mengelakkan diri anda dari perlumbaan tikus.Apa itu perlumbaan tikus?Anda tentu pernah

mengalami traffic jam yang teruk ketika hendak ke pejabat jam 8.00 pagi dan perkara yang

sama juga berlaku ketika jam 5.00 petang ketika pulang dari pejabat.Jika anda memandu dan

menoleh seketika di kira dan kanan anda..anda akan dapati pemandu di sekeliling anda juga

sedang melakukan perkara yang sama..iaitu..sedang berebut-rebut hendak pergi kerja atau

pulang kerja..ini dinamakan satu perlumbaan..di mana hampir 90% warga Malaysia melakukan

perlumbaan tikus setiap hari.Hanya 10% sahaja yg.menjadikan SoHo sebagai punca pendapatan

dan mereka pada masa itu mungkin sedang bersarapan sambil membaca surat khabar di internet

tanpa mempedulikan keadaan traffic jam di luar sana.

itulah serba sedikit mengenai SoHo yang dapat saya ceritakan.Sememangnya ia menjadi trendkerjaya atau profession masa kini.Sehinggakan ada syarikat pemaju yang terkenal iaitu YTL

Berhad(Yeoh Teong Lay)sedang membina perumahan mewah berkonsep SoHo di kawasan Pantai

Hillpark,Kuala Lumpur.Jika anda berada di KL,anda boleh melihat projek tersebut dan ia sedang

dalam fasa 50% pembinaan.Semua itu dilakukan kerana memenuhi permintaan usahawan

SOHOby Rahim & Co Research Sdn Bhd

In the western countries especially in the United States and major European countries, excellent Information

Technology (IT) facilities and convenient telecommunication services has expedited the growth and popularity of

Small Office, Home Office concept, also known as SOHO . Unfortunately, if misunderstood, this acronym usually

invites undesirable impression, often relates to people who work and operate businesses from untraditional

offices and sometimes employing unconventional workers. In today's modern and borderless world, SOHO 's

denizens are becoming more educated, well equipped with IT knowledge, confident and entrepreneurial-minded.

Small entrepreneurs, part-time business owners and IT start-ups have been the predominant catalyst for SOHO .

The rationale of working from home is to save commuting time and expenses, while reducing the cost of starting

the business including the hassle of finding suitable business premises, paying some advance rental, getting the

right workers to man the office etc. Therefore, SOHO may be the best alternative for this group of people.

Down south in Singapore , in encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit, the government has taken some measures

in facilitating businesses that operate from homes. The government's Technopreneur Home Office Scheme(THO) enables start-ups in technology-based and knowledge-intensive businesses to use their homes as home

offices. Once the application is approved by the Economic and Development Board (EDB), the applicant can use

his home as home office for a year. The approval can be extended on a yearly basis provided there are no

complaints received for the use. However, the use may be terminated if the businesses are found to have

adverse impact on the neighbourhood and causing pollution in terms of noise, dust, odour or smoke. This is to

ensure that the good ambience and proper use of the amenities provided for the residents are not compromised.

In addition, the business activities must not resulted in an increase in human or vehicular traffic to the

surrounding area.

In Malaysia , unofficial home office is not something unfamiliar as there have always been small businesses

operated from homes providing variety of business services, food and beverage, consultancy, tuition, tailoring

and many others. Realising the potential of small businesses to boost the economy by indirectly creating new

jobs and employment opportunities, the government is putting an effort to encourage the set-up of smallbusiness. For example, the Ministry of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives provides loans up to

RM10,000 under Yayasan Tekun Nasional for small-medium entrepreneurs. SOHO entrepreneurs are

encouraged to take advantage of the fund up-grade their businesses. However, there are a few businesses that

are not qualified to apply for this fund which include agriculture, fishery, insurance, contractor and direct selling

businesses.

Private as well as government agencies such as Johor Corporation are also playing an active role in promoting

the concept of SOHO to promising entrepreneurs, mainly capitalising on its low-overhead and low-risk

advantages. Aiming to improve the socio-economic status of the participants, JCorp is understood to organise a

series of seminars on SOHO , mainly targeting housewives, single mothers and unemployed graduates. The

purpose of the seminars is to educate, create awareness and highlight the advantages of operating a business

form home.

Despite operating from home the home business would have good potential for future expansion with the

opportunities of marketing the products globally should the business owners are well equipped with modern

technology, using Internet facilities, faxes, teleconferencing and couriers, to mention the few. The prospects are

better in the sense that the products can be marketed to a broader target market.

In terms of enhancing the telecommunication services, following the implementation of the National Broadband

Plan, in long term, together with active participation of the industry players in leveraging the government

initiatives, the government is hoping to achieve a 10% penetration rate for broadband usage in the country by

2008. The government also hopes to see 1.3 million broadband subscribers in 2006, representing a 5%

broadband penetration rate from the current 2% of the total population. The country's overall use of telephone

facilities ( refers to the sum of Direct Exchange Line ( DEL ) and cellular subscriptions) as tabulated below

indicates that the penetration rate is yet to reach satisfactory level although the growth looks promising.

The property industry is not all indifferent in reacting to the changing need and preference of the end users. A

handful of developers are already committed in making the SOHO concept a reality. IGB Corporation Berhad for

example, is presently launching the Northpoint Mid Valley City located within the greater Mid Valley City. The 22-

storey building, anticipated to be completed by end of 2005, will comprise a total of 432 units of a mix office

suites and residences. The office suites are offered for sale at price tags starts from RM557,000 (for units

measuring 1,410 square feet). While the main target market would mainly comprise business owners or investors

who are looking for office space at an affordable price, what makes the product different is that the office will be

sold on a modular basis.

Berjaya Central Park, a 46-storey commercial building located at the junction of Jalan Sultan Ismail and JalanAmpang, developed by the Berjaya Group Bhd will be featuring a mixed of retail entertainment and service

apartment units. Capitalising on the strategic location near the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, with full range

excellent facilities and amenities, the proposed serviced apartment would also be suitable for business owners

who intend to acquire a trendy yet modern business premises that also accommodates a private residence.

While SOHO in the city is likely to brighten up the night life while reducing the vehicular traffic in the immediate

vicinity, Kuala Lumpur is yet to see a proper designated building solely for the purpose of SOHO as long as the

vacancy space is yet to be comfortably taken up.
