SinaLand and Institut Sinaran have announced their collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to transform a part of their project, Elemen Utara KK, into student accommodation.

The selected units and floors are to be reserved for students of Institut Sinaran. These units range from 1,055 sq ft to 1,636 sq ft and each unit has three bedrooms and two bathrooms (one shared bathroom). The student residence of Elemen Utara KK will also share a kitchen and living space with various configurations such as en-suite single and twin-sharing rooms.

Institut Sinaran students can rent fully furnished rooms inclusive of air-conditioning and internet within the price range of RM700 to RM1380.

In addition, students will receive complimentary shuttle bus services to and from the college. The service provided by SinaLand is part of the City Hall’s bus-service enhancement program to reduce traffic congestion.

Institut Sinaran is aware that for international or local students from areas such as Sandakan or Keningau, securing accommodation can be a daunting and confusing task.

Therefore, Elemen Utara KK will be a popular choice for students, because of the close proximity to Institut Sinaran and this will assist in supporting the student’s transition into their new living and study environment.

This collaboration to create accommodation for students is part of SinaLand’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project, to improve not just the living conditions for Institute Sinaran students but for all residents in the area.

“As a developer, our aim is to build sustainable communities. Our core focus has always been to enhance the life of the people around us,” said the management of SinaLand.

Menggatal has seen tremendous growth in the last decade, and is now an ideal livable community with conveniences within easy reach.

SinaLand Management added that they are confident the students and residents at Elemen will benefit from the conveniences available at Plaza Menggatal, as well as nearby townships. Businesses will receive a welcome boost from the student population.

“We welcome the collaboration with Institut Sinaran to allocate a part of Elemen as student accommodation. We are humbled to be able to contribute into nurturing the future generation of talents,” said the management of SinaLand.”

Elemen Utara KK is also strategically located and is flanked by two major highways namely Jalan Tuaran Bypass and Jalan Tuaran Lama, thereby giving access to numerous public amenities such as Institut Sinaran, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), 1 Borneo Hypermall, KFC/Pizza Hut Drive-through, CKS Hypermarket, Basel Church Menggatal just to name a few.

The expected occupancy certificate will be out and residents will be able to move in to Elemen Utara KK in the second quarter of 2020.
