Founded in 2013, Aspen (Group) Holdings Limited is a Malaysia-based property development group with a focus on developing affordable residential and mixed development properties, targeting middle-income mass market purchasers.

Its flagship mixed development project located in Penang, Malaysia - Aspen Vision City - is a sustainable and integrated development that comprises residential and commercial developments, hotels, hospitals, international schools and a central park. Aspen has entered into a joint venture agreement with Ikano to develop parts of Aspen Vision City, where Ikano will build the first IKEA store in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia.

Dato' Murly Manokharan, Executive Director, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Aspen (Group) Holdings Limited, said: "I am proud to be part of Aspen (Group)'s Catalist listing.

At Aspen (Group), we believe that success comes from a relentless focus on innovation, creativity and execution. We believe this successful listing not only provides us with access to the capital market in Singapore, but also further raises the visibility of our brand as we continue to build quality projects with unique features and facilities that will enrich lives and enhance lifestyles."

Mohamed Nasser Ismail, Head of Equity Capital Market (SME) and Head of Capital Market Development, SGX, said, "We are pleased to welcome the listing of Aspen (Group) on SGX Catalist. We look forward to supporting the company as it seeks to grow its mass market residential and mixed property development business, and establish itself as a reputable property developer in Malaysia."

With a market capitalisation of about S$200 million, the listing of Aspen (Group) Holdings Limited brings the total number of companies listed on Catalist to 198, with a combined market capitalisation of more than S$12 billion, and the number of real estate entities listed on SGX to more than 100, with combined market capitalisation of about S$190 billion.
