- Per unit: about RM7.24 million on about 10150 sq ft of land on average, or about RM713 of sales value per sq ft of land (our calculation)
- Progress: work started on 21 March 2025 under Yee Kok Engineering & Construction Sdn Bhd; 67% done on 23 September 2026; completion in the second quarter of 2027

Why UPA is doing it
UPA's plastics business has lost money for three years, and its paper products made a loss in the first half of 2026. The group made RM3.03 million of profit in 2025 on revenue of RM130.6 million. It expects the factories may contribute 25% or more of its profit, which is why it needs shareholders' approval, and says it may take on more property projects later.
