Hamidon said Nadayu has about RM250 million in unbilled sales, which will be recognised for the next one year.

"We will look at all opportunities to grow the business and also look for more strategic land banks for future development," he said.

He added that Nadayu brand is becoming acceptable, where people are starting to identify the name and associate it with the level of quality and delivery.

Currently, the company has a land size of 334.67 ha, mainly in the Klang Valley and Penang, worth about RM5.9 billion.
