Land & JV

Many landowners in Selangor hold land that sits idle because developing it alone needs capital, approvals and a team they do not have. A joint venture (JV) is one answer: the landowner contributes the land and the developer contributes capital, expertise and the approvals process, with the landowner's entitlement set in a written JV agreement.

A JV is not the only option. You can also sell, lease, or build on your own. This category compares those choices plainly, explains the usual stages of a JV (due diligence on both sides, conversion of land use, approvals, construction and handover) and describes the terms a landowner can ask for. Entitlement in the market generally takes the form of completed units, cash, or both; the exact mix is negotiated for each site.

Protections such as progress milestones, reporting and exit terms can be included in the agreement. Read these guides before you meet any developer, so you know which questions to ask and which documents to prepare.
