Residensi PR1MA Larkin Indah apartment owners can look forward to moving in soon as the keys will be handed over starting March 1 this year.

Johor housing and local government committee chairman, Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor said although the project was finished two years ago, the units remained unallocated as the developer had not obtained the Certificate of Completion and Compliance (CCC).

“Out of 1,174 units, 1,113 have already been sold.

“However, we had to wait for the developer to finish fixing the road to the entrance gate of the project.

“Now that the road has been completed, the developer is expected to apply for CCC any day now and the keys can be handed out next month.

“The delay caused buyers to incur extra expenses like having to pay rent while waiting for their keys. This is unacceptable.

“That’s why the Johor government, led by Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, stepped in despite jurisdiction for the project falling under the Federal Government,” he said after visiting the project in Larkin, Johor Baru.

Also present was Johor youth, sports, entrepreneur development, cooperatives and human resources committee chairman Mohd Hairi Mad Shah.

Among the facilities at Residensi PR1MA Larkin Indah are a gym, multipurpose hall, surau, playground, mini library and barbecue area.

There is also a kindergarten at the premises.
