Amongst other things it is expected to turn part of the site into a decent pleasure yacht marine facility with 5 acres of hardstand area, workshops, paint booth, travel lift, chandlery shops, clubhouse and full marina berthing facilities.

PD World Marina Resort - Up for Tender

A unique opportunity has arisen in Malaysia
KPMG Corporate Services Sdn Bhd are presently accepting tenders on Fifty Six (56) unique acres of mixed waterfront leasehold land (See Diagram) situated within the never completed PD World Marina Resort project in Port Dickson, Malaysia. The choice lots were previously approved for condominiums, hotel convention center, marina club house, tourism and cultural centers. The entire waterway is also up for tender as Lot 1329.

Your big chance to own waterfront property with private marina facilities to set up your own marine base in SE Asia. Incorporating boat haul out facilities, hardstand maintenance areas and private marina berths in front of your condominium or hotel room, presents further business opportunities. The entire waterway aspects were completed several years ago and has either granite rock or sheet pile walls around the perimeter. The depth varies from 3.5m (Narrows leading to Inner Harbour) to 5.0 meters deep in front of the Marina Club house at low tide. Two extensive concrete breakwaters (See photos) extend out to sea forming a protective entrance to the marina and lead light platforms have been built but no lights have ever been installed.

The choice Lots (See Photos) are all on the left hand side looking out to sea.
Lot 1325 - 4.17 acres (16880m2) vacant land (Formerly designated for 250 condominium units)
Lot 1327 - 7.58 acres (30570m2) vacant land (Formerly designated for Marina Club House)
Lot 1328 - 11.90 acres (48140m2) vacant land (Formerly designated for 500 room hotel & 330 serviced apartments)
Lot 1322 - 5.62 acres (22730m2) vacant land (Formerly designated for Tourism & Cultural Center)
Lot 1329 & Lot 1318 26.81 acres (108500m2) Marina Basin

Existing high rise condominium units and apartment blocks line the inner basin area with a brick paved public walking area around the perimeter. Each villa block has there own car park, swimming pool and recreation areas, although after being under receivership since the 1997 Asian financial crises the upkeep and maintenance leaves something to be desired. Many unsold apartments including some penthouse condominium units that have never been occupied before are also up for individual tender.

Port Dickson is the closest beach resort town to Kuala Lumpur and has the only decent marina facilities to keep a boat within reach of KL residents. As it is an ideal spot to train and examine sailors wanting to make a career out of sailing - Apartment B-1-8 Straits View at PD World Marina (See enlarged Location Map and Goggle aerial photo on how to get there) serves as the AY Learn to Sail classroom and two Miri Magic 8m sportsboats are presently berthed in the marina and used during our AY Training Courses.

AsianYachting Ventures Sdn. Bhd. (Co. No. 627106-T) is a privately owned Malaysian registered company and capable of lodging individual tenders and providing Tender Tracking Services during the process. As we have a vested interest in developing marine facilities in PD, we would like hear from similar minded sailors, boat owners and business people that can commit to forming a syndicate and submit joint tenders on your behalf, for all the choice lots listed above.

But we must move fast, as tenders close this month on the 27th June 2008.
