2.0 MARKET SEGMENTATION

2.1 Introduction

Before we start up or decide a business, we required to analyze and define the market
of interest in every aspects or perspective. This is helpful for narrowing down any
possible options of products that we are selling into specific groups or other targets
societies, which in this case called property. The process of splitting out the wide
market into various of sub-markets is known as market segmentation. Companies can
perform marketing segmentation and targeting by first conducting some marketing
research. The company will need to include demographic types of questions, so it can
later determine which demographic groups comprise the majority of their customer
base. Companies that use marketing segmentation and targeting properly can usually
expect great sales and profits, according to a top resource for small business strategies

There are many different ways to segment the markets, but the types that commonly
used are :

I. Geographic segmentation which mainly focuses on the location and of

the property, be it a country or a more precise street-by-street subset in order to
target customers.

II. Demographic segmentation which targets people by dividing the

population based on different variables such as ages, backgrounds, incomes,
ethnic groups, genders and other factors.

III. Psychographic segmentation which gets to know the populations

lifestyle, activities, interests and opinions to all the business to get a more
in-depth view of the consumers lifestyle to know their basic needs and wants in
order to define a market segment.

After deciding on the type and developing a market segment, evaluate it to ensure that
it is applicable and sensible in order to select the most appropriate target market for
the firm.

3
2.2 AIMS & OBJECTIVES

One of the main purposes and objectives of a market segmentation is to allow the
company to be better informed on what the current society is looking for nowadays
and to focus on who are the potential customers that we need to target. Therefore,
having a market segmentation is quite effective to reduce the risk from different
aspect when we are deciding where, what, whom, how and when a product, service or
brand will be marketed. Based on the survey of potential customers needs, develop
the high demand needs in order to make profit hence marketing efficiency can be
further increased by directing effort towards the nominated segment.

Customers will have a greater chance of believing that the property you are proposing
can satisfy a need that they acquire. Thus, generates higher sales volumes. Market
segmentation also allows the company to develop the property at a lower cost as it
grants the ability to break down the features to target the wants of a specific group of
people rather than providing numerous products to multiple groups of people.

Furthermore, targeting a specific group of people minimizes the risk of using a wide
range of approaches to advertise and promote the development. Market segments will
also assist in managing the companys marketing messages better by giving a rare
selling benefit and advertising it to the group of people whom are searching for it.
This will in turn give the company a better brand management.

2.3.2 ANALYSIS OF MARKET SEGMENTATION

As shown in Table and Chart above, terraced houses are quite a popular choice among
the population. This may go by the reason that terraced houses are cheaper when
compared to bungalows and semi-detached houses. It also gives more space compared
to a condominium but it cant accommodate as many facilities and privileges.

Bungalows on the other hand, are not as demanded by the population as referred to
the data. This can be due to the price of renting or buying one unit of bungalow house
which can be very expensive. If a person is single, divorced or widowed, a bungalow
is not really necessary as it will only accommodate one occupant and will be a waste
of space and money. Moreover, bungalows tend to accommodate families that prefers
a peaceful environment which may be a contradiction since the development is beside
the busy streets next to one of the busiest malls.

One of the most favorable development as shown in Table and Pie Chart above is the
semi-detached house. This is not surprising as semi-detached houses give a more
spacious area that can accommodate large families and also often includes a back or
front yard space. Though semi-detached houses are favored among all marital status,
it typically suits 2 or more occupants in order to fully utilize the space.

Last but not least, condominiums are becoming more well-known to the public as it
clearly shows from the data that it is one of the most requested residential
development type. Reasons being that condominiums are just the perfect size for any
one of all marital statuses and reasonably priced for the privileges and facilities it has.

As win majority tallies for all three terraced, semi-detached houses and condominium,
it will definitely make sense to the general to develop any one of the three
development types. These three had majority fulfill different needs according to the
different status and income of a person. Hence, the chart shown almost same
percentage of preferences between these three residence buildings.

2.4.1 DATA ANALYSIS

The segmentation tabulation above is made to tabulate all the data through
surveys. From the market segmentation tabulation above, our company can
understand what target buyer are willing to have, tendency to develop the buildings to
fulfill their demand. The targeted customers are based on the people surrounded in
Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur, local and non-local tourists. Due to
Bandar Utama is an urban city, there is surrounded with commercial buildings,
education buildings, leisure buildings and also residential areas. Therefore, medium
class income and upper class income citizens are mostly set as our target customers
for our proposed development. After we done a bunch of market segmentation and
analysis about the demand of buyer according to marital status, age groups, income
and household size, TU property plan to develop a luxury Condominium.

As the table shown, the standard size of 3 bedroom unit preferred the most. This
is because the price of 3 bedroom unit is mostly affordable for each occupation,
martial status and also local and international tourist. The following units that also
widely preferred by citizens in Bandar Utama are 5 bedroom unit and penthouse.
These two units are more expensive than others because both allow larger household
size of the tenants as well as providing more luxury and spacious spaces. Although
both units are more expensive than others, still favored by lot of customers especially
those retired or traveled, they willing to pay for the luxury facilities and environment.
Loft is kind of unit that preferred more to 1-3 household size. Hence, it has limitation
for those tenant who have a big family. As the Loft are mostly have double storey
linked with a stairs, so it also less suitable for old age tenants or those who
inconvenient to climb stairs. Lastly, the table show that studios obtain the least
compare to others. This is because studios have limitation of space for large
household size. However, it doesn't mean studios is not preferred. Many students or
medium class income people that love to have their own comfortable spaces will more
likely to own a studios units as well as the price also affordable for them.

according to the analysis of the segmentation. Moreover, our company also will
concern and try to enhance our tenants and residences healthy lifestyle by adding
Sports Centre for them. Sports Centre provide specific spaces for each various sports
such as tennis, badminton, squash, archery and also bowling. Gym room and leisure

2.6 CURRENT ECONOMIC SITUATION

Although Malaysia currency is in a dropping line, Malaysia still attempting

to achieve a high-income status by 2020, this will cause rapid economic
development and thus there will be increasing demand residential in urban area.
Besides. EPP(Entry Point Projects) aims to transform Greater Kuala Lumpur
(KL)/Klang Valley (KV) into one of the worlds top investment destinations. During
year 2000-2010 in accordance with the increasing migration of working class from
other cities, there was some high annual increase of housing price of at least 25 %,
therefore Malaysia intended to construct 800,000 units of houses, with 73.1 %
targeted for the income group of low and medium within the next three years. Land
and residential properties price will gradually increase in future for sure. Hence,
This is also one of the reason TU Properties decide to develop a residential
properties on this particular land.

estates with fewer than 100 people living in the area. In the early 1990s, development
began under the See Hoy Chan Holdings Group and today, Bandar Utama is a vibrant,
rapidly growing township with a population of about 200,000. A focal point in Bandar
Utama is the 1 Utama shopping complex which opened in 1995 and has nearly
500,000 m2 floor space. It also boasts its own rainforest that grows up through all

3.4 Unit Types In TU Pearlife

3.4.1 STUDIOS UNIT

A studio-type condominium
unit features a design layout
where the open-plan room serves
as the living, dining/kitchen, and
bedroom. It has the smallest floor
size among all types of units,
making it the most affordable.
Indeed, there are studio-type
condos in TU Pearlife that
approximate 70 square meters.

TU Pearlife is using
multifunctional furniture, such as a bed with storage underneath or folding chairs that
you can store in a corner when not in use to save more space and make your small
home look bigger.

In TU PEARLIFE,

Studio units located at 5th level until 9th level, middle

part of each levels, basically between multi bedrooms
units.

18
3.4.2 LOFT

This unconventional design also

included in our TU Pearlife, which
commonly featured in condominium
buildings with high ceilings, is where
the usual bedroom is found. It is a great
option for people who want an airy and
non-constricting space to relax or sleep
in. Lofts are also tricky to air-condition
so choose one with generously sized
windows that can be opened to save up
on electricity bills.

Keep in mind that this is not ideal for

elderly, families with small children, or
people who have mobility issues.

Normally, the design of this

type of condo unit would be:
living room, dining area,
kitchen, and/or bathroom in the
ground level and bedrooms for
the second floor.

In TU PEARLIFE,

Loft Units located at 10th level

until 14th level of each blocks,
middle part of the building.

Sample of a simple idea plan of a loft unit.

19
3.4.3 3 - 5 BEDROOMS UNITS

Simple plan that show 2 bedrooms unit.

Units with 3-5 bedrooms cater to

couples or small families. A well-planned
three-bedroom unit should have at least two
bathrooms, a hallway leading to the
bedrooms, and ma maids room/utility
room. The cost depends on the floor area of
the unit. For single urbanites who want a
private sleeping area or families in need of
their own private space, units with either
one to three or more bedrooms is what
youre looking for. It offers a larger living
space where everyone can enjoy.

In TU PEARLIFE,

3 bedrooms units located at 15th level until 22nd level, middle part of each buildings.

20
3.4.4 PENTHOUSE

In TU PEARLIFE,

Penthouse located at 23rd level till

26th level, surrounding the whole
levels..

It located on the uppermost floor of a

condo, penthouses are the most expensive
units, due to a large floor area plus the
exclusivity and privacy offered to the
tenants.

Most penthouses are stand-alone units on the top floor and have their own exclusive
elevators; TU Pearlife planned to build our penthouse with multi-level, and have
private swimming pools and lanais along with luxury environment. Since this is the
most spacious of all types of condominium units, we can play around with its design
and customize the spaces ourselves.

Sample of our ideal penthouse plan for TU Pearlife.

3.5 MARKET OPPORTUNITY

3.5.1 Reasons for developing a Condominium

Taking a closer look into the situation, if we were to build either terraced or
semi-detached houses on a 10 acre land, it will probably only accommodate a
maximum of up to a hundred individual houses including yards. TU Pearlife Condo is
planned well to develop and design to accommodate more than 600 units in total
which will benefit TU Property Development in terms or selling off the property to
potential buyers.

Another reason for developing a condominium is to give the tenants the best of all
worlds as it is situated right next to the biggest mall in Malaysia that has nearly
everything in addition to the facilities and privileges that the condominium can
provide without having to go very far unlike a regular terraced, bungalow or
semi-detached house. It is really convenient for the tenant or residences there to enjoy
themselves in a luxury and spacious living style.

Customers of all ages and marital statuses will have a desire to live in this proposed
condominium as there is a wide range of available facilities in the condominium such
as a large sheltered swimming pool and relaxation area, commercial area, indoor gym,
jogging path and playground. Most of the facilities and privileges are very likely to hit
the interest of the potential occupants.

Therefore, condominium will be a great idea as it can be flexible in terms of

occupying either studios or 3 bedrooms. Standard units of studios and 3 bedroom will
hit the needs of occupants that are single, divorced, widowed or living with their
parents. Meanwhile, the penthouse and 5 bedroom are mostly target towards married
couples with kids or large families whom are looking for a spacious and luxurious
place to live. However, it also suitable choice for those few gang of friends or families
to stay and relax when they hang out for a trip.

A residential development is a better choice as it wont increase the traffic conditions

as much on the streets unlike building educational or commercial developments.
Moreover, a condominium is the best option as it targets people of all ages and marital
statuses without having the need to use a shotgun method on purpose.

22
3.5.2 COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

Unit Upgrades
In the same development, TU PEARLIFE have different packages and floor plans
from which to choose. Aside from various bedroom/bathroom combinations, our units
also upgraded which desirable and important to some buyers. These upgrades, which
generally drive up the price of the unit while attracting customers also :

Kitchen upgrades, like stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and tile
floors
Flooring upgrades throughout, such as tile floors in the kitchen and baths, and
hardwood or bamboo in all other areas
Upgraded window treatments, such as wood blinds or solar shades
Luxury bathrooms including separate shower, a Jacuzzi tub and dual sinks
Stylish light fixtures
Wainscoting, crown molding and other interior finish elements
Additional storage space

Convenient parking is an important consideration for a condominium unit. Hence,

TU Pearlife provides on-site parking areas in a parking garage, underneath & linked
to each building. Surely sufficient parking spaces for visitors and personal parking
space only for residences.

TU Pearlife had focus on providing luxury and various Facilities :

Chill out garden with large leisure area
Wireless internet available at each floor
24-hour security by Guard Service and CCTV
Relaxation area provided at each building (SPA & Massage)
Shopping area for the residences and tourists
Sports Centre include various sports spaces for each
Luxury and spacious for every types of the units

RETURN IN INVESTMENT

Return on investment is used to measure the loss or gain a company reaches on an

investment with the amount of money they invested. It is usually used for the
companys personal financial decisions.

1.) Sell condominium units

The first way to get returns on investment is to sell off the constructed condominium
units to potential interested buyers. This is one of the major ways to earn profit. Since
there are 160 units in one building of TU Pearlife Condo (120 units and 40 penthouse
suites) and 4 similar blocks,

30 of studios units x 4 = 120 standard units

50 of 3-bedrooms units x 4 = 200 standard units

30 of 5-bedrooms units x 4 = 120 standard units

30 of loft units x 4 = 120 standard units

20 of penthouse suites x 4 = 80 penthouse suits

120 + 200 + 120 + 120 + 80 = 640 units in total.

So if the average price of one standard unit is to be sold at approximately RM 800,000

and a penthouse suite to be sold at RM 1,800,000:

560 standard units x RM 800,000 = RM 448,000,000.

80 penthouse suits x RM 1,800,000 = RM 144,000,000.

RM 448,000,000 + RM 144,000,000 = RM 592,000,000.

2.) Rent out condominium units and shop lots

Another way to earn profit is by renting out units and shop lots on the ground floor to
potential customers that prefer to rent than buy. This will also benefit the company in
the long run as the money earned will flow in continuously every month.

24
MARKETING STRATEGIES

It is very important to sell and rent out our properties, condominium units in turn to
make profit. As a result, few market strategies is required in order to gain profit.

Advertising

Advertisement is the most common marketing strategy that used by all of the
companies. The function of advertising is to notice or announce public by promoting a
product, service or an event. Hence, TU Property decided to advertise and promote
their products to public through various ways such as brochure, outdoor billboards,
websites, newspaper, social media.

interior and exterior design of the buildings. The

get it through exhibition or showroom office.

2. Newspaper

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT & CONSTRAINT

The main constraint of the proposed development is that the tenants will not have the
privilege of having their own yard and outside space. They have to share most of the
facilities with other occupants in the building. This might create unnecessary future
conflicts. TU Property Development hereby hopes that future occupants of TU
Pearlife will be considerate towards other people who are also living in the
condominium and will appreciate if everyone contributes in keeping the area clean for
the next person to use.

After the completion of TU Pearlife, TU Property Development hopes to have good

feedbacks and gain recognition as it intends to expand its projects internationally for
its future developments.

However, TU Pearlife is a prove of a success by TU Property Development that,

luxury & innovative design for each types of the units show the improvement of
technology as well as provide the best experience to our tenant , residences. In the
future development, our company definitely will focus on enhancing our buildings
through greener ways or technology. Of course, comfort and luxury environment for
our tenant still as the priority in our future development.

Through this project, we have more confidence that we are not only able to bring a
luxury lifestyle for them, it will come along with a better, greener, healthier
environment in our future project.
