    ESQUE properties in Melbourne to feature in showcase

    APAD Australia Property and Development and Mitraland Australia are extending an invitation to the general public to attend an event on Nov 19-20 which is  a 2-hour educational seminar and presentation on how to buy property in the Australian market, insights into popular suburbs considered as growing hotspots, wealth creation and legal landscape associated with purchasing Australian properties based in Melbourne’s South Yarra.

    Ringed to the north by Port Phillip Bay, two lush recreational parks and a lake, a botanical garden and the city’s Central Business District, as well as Arts and Sports Precints of this thriving city; the properties are also within easy reach of two grammar schools, Melbourne High School and South Yarra train station, making the location of these properties prime acquisitions.

    Taking place at the Radisson Hotel Brunei, and revolving around the exclusive ESQUE properties, APAD’s representatives will be in Brunei for one-on-one consultation sessions with potential clientelle during the event, which is aimed at boosting relations between the private business sectors of both nations. Australian immigration personnel and director of Mitraland will also be present to answer any queries fielded by interested applicants.

    Among the guest speakers will be Jenny Neoh. As a qualified CPA Certified Public Accountant who has worked for the state government before embarking on her career as a senior property analyst, Jenny has since helped over 500 customers in securing their dream homes and investment properties since 2009. With over 12 years of experience across both commercial and private property sectors in Australia and Malaysia, Jenny will be of value to Bruneians who are interested in the possibility of purchasing property in Melbourne.

    Also attending from Australia is the owner and managing director of Australian Migration Agents Pte Ltd, Grant Colbron, who is a former career-diplomat with experience operating in countries within the region including Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, as well as having his company office headquartered in Singapore with additional branches spread throughout Australia.

    Representing the Consumer Banking division of Maybank’s Singapore office, its executive vice president Marc Leong, will utilise his 19 years of experience in retail banking to actively engage the audience in his capacity as the third invited guest speaker on topics inclusive of mortgages and retail loans.

    To overcome the tightening of the foreign lending policy, ESQUE is the only project in Australia supported by Maybank Singapore in providing finance assurance to Bruneians who wish to purchase their first properties in Australia.

    Mujosh makes Australian debut

    Mujosh, the Hong Kong fashion eyewear brand, has opened its first store in Australia – at Melbourne Central mall in the city’s CBD.

    Just five years old, Mujosh has already opened stores in Thailand and Malaysia. Australia is its third overseas market entered with a specialty store, although it has distribution agreements in other markets, including Japan.

    “We hand picked a selection including our bestsellers and limited-edition designer series for our customers in Australia,” said Grace Zhang, director of international business division with Mujosh.

    “The latest Mujosh collections will also be unveiled in here at the same time as it will be in other territories.”

    “It is exciting that we can bring Mujosh to our customers in Australia,” said Alan Chen, the brand’s founder.

    “After five years of fast but solid development, Mujosh decided to expand into the international market at the beginning of 2015. Having our first store in Australia is an important milestone for our international business development.”

    Managed by GPT, Melbourne Central located in the heart of Melbourne, attracts a wide variety of customers from the inner suburbs of the city.

    Mujosh was founded by “a group of young creative rule-breakers who believe glasses are not only tools to improve eyesight, but also fashion accessories to differentiate wearers and make them stand out from the crowd,” the company explains.

  • Uniqlo to open seventh Aussie store

    Uniqlo to open seventh Aussie store

    Japanese retailer, Uniqlo, will open its third Victorian store in late 2015 in the redeveloped Eastland centre, in Melbourne’s east.

    Uniqlo Eastland will be a premium large scale outlet with a sales floor spanning nearly 1045sqm, joining more than 350 brands on completion of the centre’s $665 million redevelopment.

    The store will look to create more than 70 jobs for the Ringwood precinct, with positions on offer for both managers and store staff in the surrounding areas.

    “We’re excited to be opening our third store in Melbourne. We see Melbourne, and Australia more broadly, as a key market for us in the Asia and Oceania region,” said Shoichi Miyasaka, CEO of Uniqlo Australia.

    “We’ve received a very positive response from Melbournians since we opened our first store last year, and we’re thrilled to be in a position to continue to grow our presence in this market.

    “Eastland’s transformation will see it become the epicentre for retail and community engagement in the east, with its position amongst some of the fastest growing suburbs pivotal for Uniqlo to service the outer Eastern Melbourne population,” said Miyasaka.

    Centre manager of the new Eastland, Steve Edgerton, welcomed the Japanese retailer to the Eastern Melbourne community.

    “The addition of international fashion brands such as Uniqlo demonstrates the calibre of retailers Eastland’s development is attracting,” said Edgerton.

    “Once completed, Eastland’s $665m transformation will offer more than 350 speciality stores, with a carefully curated selection of international and Australian high street and boutique brands.”

    There are six Uniqlo stores in Australia, four in Sydney and two in Melbourne.
