New landmark: An artist’s impression of The Wharf and the luxury hotel under the Miri Waterfront Transformation Project.
KUCHING: Miri is primed for one of its largest facelifts of the decade under the landmark Miri Waterfront Transformation Project, which will see the development of a five-star luxury hotel.
The modern 18-storey high-rise apartment suites and 10 units of supersized shophouses are slated for completion by 2015, with a gross development value (GDV) of RM450mil.
The Miri waterfront commercial centre is surrounded by major corporations consisting of oil and gas as well as plantation companies, banks, governmental offices and restaurants that are easily accessible.
It also has high visibility that ensures great returns for investors.
The Wharf, a private high-rise 18-storey strata-titled suite project is situated on the very heart of Miri city while the integrated part of the waterfront commercial centre is only a 15-minute drive from Miri Airport and mature commercial areas.

Unique Harvests Sdn Bhd project director Alice Hu said the mega project would complement the city’s reputation as one of the country’s robust growth areas.
“The construction work for the entire development will take place concurrently, and both high-rise buildings will go up at the same time.
“The entire project is scheduled to be finished within two years, with completion anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2015,” said Hu, adding that the Wharf was among the main components of the “transformation”.
“The Wharf is a 99-year leasehold private development encompassing all three-bedroom detached and semi-detached units from sixth floor onwards, with modern lifestyle facilities on the fifth floor such as swimming pool, the very first Sky Garden in Miri, gym and aerobics rooms, multipurpose hall, pool deck, BBQ pits and many more.”
The suites, ranging from 1,531sq ft to 1,760sq ft, will be semi furnished and are priced from RM926,888 onwards.
The luxury hotel, on the other hand, will consist of 328 spacious rooms and suites, and will include facilities such as a ballroom with a seating capacity of up to 1,000 alongside six other function rooms — all with modern meeting facilities, a signature infinity pool with pool deck and children’s pool, a private spa with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, gym and aerobics, food and beverage outlets including a coffee house with a modern open buffet concept and a private lounge on the top floor.
“The design of the hotel is modern and contemporary, whereby the focus is not only on luxury but also comfort for the guests,” Hu said.
The Miri Waterfront Transformation sits on an unparalleled piece of five-star land, nestling in the heart of the city.

The project’s timing is also impeccable, coinciding with the expansion of the Marina township right at the boundary of the Wharf, as well as capturing the captivating status as a new primary feature of the city skyline.
With the opening of the luxury hotel, it is no surprise that the Wharf has become the most sought after address for investors and future home owners alike.
Prospective buyers can visit The Wharf Sales Gallery on the ground floor of Wisma Interhill, Miri Waterfront Commercial Centre here from 9am till 6pm.
Exclusive packages are available only for limited units.
