THE Penang Development Corporation (PDC) is calling for a Request For Proposal (RFP) for the development of 1,320 units of medium-cost and low medium-cost homes in Jalan S.P. Chelliah in Penang.
The RFP is for developers to design, build and complete a minimum of 550 units of medium-cost apartments and a minimum 770 units of low medium-cost (LMC) flats on a 4.47ha site.
