PETALING JAYA: Johor-based developer, Daiman Development Bhd, has no immediate plan to redevelop the property it recently acquired in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur and would keep it for recurring income.

In a recent filing to Bursa Malaysia, the developer acquired the freehold land in Setapak together with a detached building erected on it from Courts Mammoth Sdn Bhd for RM14.5 million.

Simultaneously, it has also executed a tenancy agreement with Courts Mammoth for three years with three optional renewal periods of three years each. The monthly rental for the initial lease term is RM128,370.
The cash-rich Daiman Development told The Edge early this year that it is looking for properties or land acquisition opportunities, in both local and overseas markets.
