LPS Shanghai 2023 will be held on December 8-10, 2023, in Shanghai. We’re glad today to present you with an exclusive interview with the CEO and Founder of Kronos Homes, Mr Said Hejal.

LPS: Dear Mr. Saïd Hejal, thanks for joining this interview. After graduating from McGill University, you worked for 10 years in the United States for investment funds before founding Kronos Homes in 2014. After only 6 years of existence, Kronos Homes already ranks among the Top 10 of Spanish real estate developers. When you founded the company, did you foresee that your company would develop that fast?

Mr. Saïd Hejal: Kronos Homes was born with a vocation to lead the Spanish real estate market and with an ambitious plan to become a neighborhood developer.

We identified the housing demand opportunities that existed in the market and established a sustainable growth plan. I am proud to see that the path we have set out has been successful and that the forecasts we were managing have been fulfilled.

LPS: How would you describe the differences between Kronos Homes and other Spanish real estate developers? 

Mr. Saïd Hejal: Our main differential value is our commitment to Architecture and Design. We make houses that breathe design, sustainable architecture, and quality that are integrated into the environment where they are located.

We want to regenerate the cities attending to these values, that’s why our philosophy is#PUREDESIGN. To achieve this, we work with renowned architects such as Ricardo Bofill or Rafael de La-Hoz who help us create iconic residential projects.

LPS: How important is the China market to Kronos Homes? And how do you anticipate it to become in five years from now? 

Mr. Saïd Hejal: We believe that this is a market with a lot of potential and that Spain is attractive from a commercial, cultural and investment point of view.

LPS: What is the typical profile of your buyers? 

Mr. Saïd Hejal: For first residence, national buyers mainly and for second residence, European buyers: German, British, Nordic and Benelux as main markets. Our most usual buyer is the one who buys a first home and has a budget of around 300,000 and 400,000 Euros.

Currently, first-time buyers account for about 70% of our market, a trend that has increased in recent years and has been maintained over the last period.

LPS: For our Chinese readers today, can you pick one or two locations in Spain that you feel will have big potential in the future? 

Mr. Saïd Hejal: In Kronos Homes we have observed two real estate markets that have stood out in the last year and they are Valencia and the province of Malaga.

Valencia is an important market for first homes in which the supply is not yet very high. We have just started building the tallest residential skyscraper in that city and in just three months we have sold more than half of its 200 homes. Valencia is the third most important city in Spain with a very good climate, well connected and a growing business volume.

The other big market is the Costa del Sol (Malága). There, foreign buyers of second homes continue to have a great interest in acquiring properties. We have up to five projects in the area. It is also a location that is well connected, has a good climate and a Mediterranean lifestyle that many Europeans want to have.

LPS: What are the mistakes to avoid when you are a foreign investor entering the Spanish real estate market for the first time? 

Mr. Saïd Hejal: Trust is the key to these operations. In that sense, the confidence that Kronos Homes, as a developer, can give an investor makes the difference. Our advice is to avoid intermediaries.  We provide free legal assistance to our clients as well as contact with the consulate for the processing of the VISA. With Kronos Homes, you are guaranteed to buy directly from the developer without any commissions or additional costs.

LPS Shanghai 2023 will be held at the not only iconic but also highly historical Shanghai Exhibition Center.

Known nowadays as Shanghai’s most prestigious downtown exhibition center and also one of the city’s largest building complex, the Shanghai Exhibition Center is a venue with a fascinating history.

The building was constructed on what was used to be the property of Shanghai real estate tycoon, Silas Aaron Hardoon (1851-1931) and was called at the time the Aili Garden.

In 1953, following the departure from Shanghai of Hardoon’s heirs, the Garden site was chosen for the construction of a new building to house a major exhibition focused on the Soviet Union’s economic and cultural achievements.

The building was designed by Sergey Andreyev, Chen Zhi, Wang Dingzheng and Cai Xianyu and its architecture was strongly ressembling the Admiralty in Leningrad.

The building was completed on 5 March 1955 and was renamed in 1968 the Shanghai Exhibition Center.

An art program, completed by local artists under the direction of the Shanghai Art Association, was commissioned for the building. Much of the original relief sculpture work is still visible in various parts of the complex nowadays.

Other artwork have also been added to the complex over the years such as the Arman’s sculpture Cavalleria Eroica, located in front of the Nanjing Road façade of the building.

A major renovation of the building was completed in 2011 in order to make this Exhibition Center one of the most modern exhibition venue in Asia.

Nowadays, the Shanghai Exhibition Center is hosting China’s most important exhibitions, especially in the art and fashion industries.

Turkey is the country of honor at LPS Shanghai 2023 and a prestigious VIP reception will be held on Saturday afternoon, December 9, to celebrate the quintessential Turkish lifestyle.

Supported by over 50 official media and show partners, the VIP reception will allow select Shanghai-based VIPs to mingle in a chic yet relaxed atmosphere encompassing the unique Turkish lifestyle, from luxury properties to high-end tourism, culture and fashion.

“Turkey is fast establishing as a key investment and lifestyle destination for Chinese elites– says Mr. Olivier de Treglode, the Founder and CEO of LPS. Turkey combines many advantages that China’s buyers are looking for: a favorable market for foreign investors, a rich cultural heritage and a truly unique way of living.”

Held in the glamorous setting of LPS Shanghai 2023, this invitation-only reception will allow local elites to mingle with high-profile Turkish attendees in an atmosphere dedicated to the very best of Turkish lifestyle, from real estate investment to high-end travel, culture and fashion.

LPS Shanghai 2023 will be held on December 8-10, 2023, in Shanghai. We’re glad today to present you with an exclusive interview with the CEO and Founder of Selo Group, Mr Andrew Corkery.

The Shanghai Exhibition Center will once again be the venue of LPS Shanghai on Dec 8-10, 2023. This historical venue, built in 1955, is located on the famous Nanjing West Road, in the heart of downtown Shanghai. This strategic central location makes it very convenient for Shanghai-based investors to access LPS Shanghai 2023 from any part of the city.

In the heart of Jing’An District

The Shanghai Exhibition Center is located in the heart of Jing’An district, the most central of the 15 districts that compose Shanghai. Jing’an District was named after Jing’an Temple, an impressive traditional Chinese Buddhist temple that is located a few hundred meters away from the Shanghai Exhibition Center.

Opposite the Portman Ritz-Carlton Hotel

Right in front of the Shanghai Exhibition Center lies the 5-star Portman Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Built in 1990 by Atlanta-based American Architect John C. Portman Jr, the 5-star Portman Ritz-Carlton Shanghai was the first Ritz-Carlton to open in mainland China and one of the first luxury hotels of international standard to open in Shanghai. Since that time, the pioneering hotel has kept a special place in the heart of Shanghai’s residents, as one of the most historical hotels in town.

The hotel belongs to a larger complex building called the “Shanghai Center” that is home to many consulates and government offices of countries such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, the Philippines, the United States, etc. The hotel has been fully renovated in 2017, and is the Official Hotel of LPS Shanghai 2023, welcoming many of LPS exhibitors, sponsors and VIP delegates.

LPS Shanghai 2023 will be held on December 8-10, 2023, in Shanghai. We’re glad today to present you with an exclusive interview with the CEO of Malaysia-based real estate developer KSK Group, Ms Joanne Kua, recently named by Forbes as Malaysia’s top emerging businesswoman.

Joanne Kua is the CEO of KSK Group, one of Malaysia’s largest corporations with a presence in property development, general insurance and technology ventures.

KSK Land, a subsidiary of KSK Group, is the developer behind ‘8 Conlay’, one of Kuala Lumpur’s largest and most ambitious real estate developments.

LPS: As the CEO of KSK Group, Forbes recently listed you among the 25 emerging star businesswomen in Asia, and the only one in this list coming from Malaysia.  When you joined KSK Group in 2010, did you foresee that you would reach such heights?   

Ms. JOANNE KUA: When I joined KSK Group in 2010, I knew I would play an important role in the family business. From then on, I took the main responsibility to ensure that KSK Group and all the businesses (under the group) would have to be sustainable to ensure continuity into future generations at the same time honouring my father’s legacy and building my own as well.

It has been an unexpected ‘journey’ which landed me the role of a group CEO and receiving top honours from Forbes Asia’s Emergent 25 List, which I am deeply humbled by.

I personally enjoy the journey of pushing boundaries in our businesses like KSK Land and allowing our business to be future forward. Not many get the rare opportunity and platform to run a business and continue the family legacy. I get to have a platform to effect change to the business, community and the people that I work with.

LPS: How would you describe your leadership style, and the way you are managing your team?   

Ms. JOANNE KUA: My leadership style is transformational, working with my ‘tribe’ or team to identify change and opportunities, creating a vision for them to look forward to and hopefully along the way, inspire them to change with the times and constantly allowing themselves to learn and grow personally.

At KSK, our motto is ‘what can you do for yourself?’ before asking them what they can do for the company. The ability to be nimble in a company and to constantly innovate starts with each individual’s growth. Their growth is the company’s growth. People are our biggest assets. I believe in being humble & having grit.

The feeling of victory is when our KSK tribe comes together as one, all from diverse backgrounds, full of grit, drive and passion to take on new challenges and constantly push boundaries in the work we do. When they grow and succeed, it gives me a sense of fulfilment.

LPS: KSK Group is a giant in the insurance industry. How did you decide, in 2013, that the Group would venture into property development with the creation of KSK Land?   

Ms. JOANNE KUA: The very foundation of any great success starts with the relationships you build with people. That’s why in 29 years, we were able to make Kurnia a household insurance brand for Malaysia.

This new chapter with KSK Land, was inspired by the idea of nurturing a new way of living life abundantly, starting with Kuala Lumpur. A city/destination with endless opportunities and a melting pot of cultures. We didn’t just want to create fancy boxes for people to live in, but a place with a soul.

We realised we had the power to be stagemakers – creating spaces for people to live, work and play in. Bringing together different groups of like-minded communities, allowing people to create their own stories in these spaces and building relationships and trust along the way.

Selling a lifestyle is something we understood during the Kurnia days, as part of our DNA, selling that trust and comfort as well as protecting dreams. 8 Conlay, as our debut development, is an example of this.

LPS: 8 Conlay, a mixed-used development consisting of three towers atop a four-storey experiential retail space and located in the very heart of Kuala Lumpur, is the flagship development of KSK Land. In your opinion, what are the most exciting features of this development?   

Ms. JOANNE KUA: From the start, we wanted 8 Conlay to be a landmark of design, innovation and collaboration in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. When completed, 8 Conlay will own the world’s tallest twisted twin residential towers.

Freedom in creativity sets the foundation for the design of 8 Conlay. The Chinese character of the figure eight inspired the curved profile of the YOO8 residential towers. Visually, the curves of 8 Conlay make its towers look like they lean towards each other, evoking a sense of stability and strength.

Ms. Kelly Hoppen

YOO8 serviced by Kempinski features two power brands – international award-winning design studio YOO and Europe’s oldest and most established hotel group, Kempinski.

The property’s two residential towers feature interior concepts exclusively designed by Steve Leung & YOO and Kelly Hoppen for YOO, as well as landscape architecture by TROP Studio. The branded residences will provide luxury in-house services by the adjoining five-star Kempinski Hotel. While the retail lifestyle quarters will complete the bespoke lifestyle experience.

LPS: Can you tell us more about the cooperation between 8 Conlay and famous Hong Kong architect Steve Leung?   

Ms. JOANNE KUA: Exclusive design concepts mark the identities of the two branded residences — Hong Kong-based Steve Leung brings his Asian aesthetic to Tower A while British celebrity designer Kelly Hoppen’s creative handprint can be seen in Tower B.

For example, as Leung’s style is evocative of a modern urban space as well as a tranquil retreat, YOO8 Tower A exudes a sense of calm, bringing together the best of modern design and refined city living. With interiors designed to reflect Leung’s two exclusive concepts, Wood and Water. The two elements also exude calm and contribute a feeling of wellbeing to the environment. The ideology is evidenced in azure accents and lavish marbled surfaces, embodying the relaxing effect and elegance of flowing water.

YOO8 Tower A’s 564 serviced residences range from 700 square feet to 1,308 square feet across 61 floors, setting a retail benchmark of RM3,283 per square feet.

LPS: How important is the China market to KSK Land?   

Ms. JOANNE KUA: 75% of our buyers are foreign, while 25% are Malaysians. Out of the 75%, Hong Kong China and mainland China tier 1 cities buyers make up 50%.

In recent years, China property investors have shifted their interests in property investment to Malaysia, especially into Kuala Lumpur. As Kuala Lumpur remains an attractive investment destination with a rapidly growing and diversified economy and a robust GDP growth.

Kuala Lumpur was one of the top two best cities in Southeast Asia according to Mercer’s 2018 Quality of Living Rankings. In recent years, Kuala Lumpur’s capital appreciation is strong with an average of 5.1% year on year.

According to media reports, Chinese investments in Malaysia’s residential real estate are expected to double by 2025. Residential properties make up the majority of property acquisition from the Hong Kong China and China markets, and one-fifth comprising industrial, commercial and retail properties.

LPS: Many Chinese luxury property investors are very interested in investing in Kuala Lumpur for the first time, but some are still hesitant because they feel they lack knowledge and experience on this market. Which advice would you give them?  

Ms. JOANNE KUA: Firstly, in terms of branded service residences, Kuala Lumpur has one of the most “affordable” price per square feet, in comparison with Bangkok, Hong Kong China and mainland China.

For example, the 8 Conlay development is priced at USD792 per square feet. While, in Beijing, the Armani Casa is priced at USD1,571 per square feet, in Bangkok, the price per square feet is USD 2,061 for 98 Wireless, and in Hong Kong at USD 4,376 per square feet for the YOO Residence. Kuala Lumpur offers high quality residential products at lower entry costs compared to some of the other South East Asian countries.

Foreigners can buy freehold properties in Malaysia and have the same rights as the locals. Kuala Lumpur also has recorded a capital appreciation on average of 5.1%.

The cultural diversity of Kuala Lumpur makes it easier for mainland Chinese to adapt culturally in terms of language as English, Cantonese and Mandarin are spoken widely with no language barriers. In terms of education, Kuala Lumpur offers a plethora of top international schools with world-class educational talent and facilities. Kuala Lumpur’s upcoming high speed rail project that connects to Singapore in just 90 minutes.

8 Conlay is an example of what will be an iconic development in Malaysia when completed, and buyers can be rest assured of its value appreciation with its residences serviced by Kempinski.

LPS: How would you describe the current supply of new luxury real estate developments in Kuala Lumpur?  Is it currently under or over supplied? 

Ms. JOANNE KUA: The upper-income population and high-net-worth individuals around the world have increased and are becoming savvier when it comes to their choice in branded service residences. True branded residences such as 8 Conlay are a rare gem in Kuala Lumpur which differentiates itself from non-branded luxury residences.

According to a Knight Frank Malaysia report, it revealed a growth in foreign investors’ interest, mostly from mainland China, Hong Kong China, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan China, Australia, USA, UK, and some European countries.

According to reports by Savills, KL recorded a premium of 69% against non-branded luxury residences in 2017, while Shanghai recorded a premium of 55% (in 2012) for branded residences and globally, the average premium for branded residences over non-branded residences are 31%.

The report also indicated that the largest premiums are usually achieved in emerging markets where the luxury brand adds an appeal to the newly wealthy. Premiums are also higher in these markets because the standard is usually much greater than existing non-branded stock.
