Johan Construction proposed to construct a housing project consisting of 10 storeys condominium on a plot of land measuring 1 acres (43,560 square feet).

The approved allowable floor space is 18,000 square feet per floor. Exceeding such an allowable limit would attract RM150 charge per square foot.

Each unit of the condo is proposed to be 1,200 square feet, where the common area will take up 800 square feet per unit. The building plan is 12 units per floor and a total of 120 units of luxury condominium. Total car parking bays in the proposal is 1 car parking for each unit of condominium and another 30 visitor parking.
