The development emphasises healthy outdoor lifestyle facilities with community focal points
The township is only about a 20-minute drive from JB’s CBD via the Eastern Dispersal Link, and accessible from the north via the Pasir Gudang Highway. The recently completed link road from Nusa Damai connects the township to Pasir Gudang.
With two entry and exit points, getting in and out of Bandar Seri Alam is a breeze for residents and visitors.
WELLNESS WITHIN SERI AUSTIN
Recognised as the first Smart Healthy City and Community Township in Iskandar Malaysia, Seri Austin was planned as a conducive living environment with affordable homes of quality design.
The development emphasises healthy outdoor lifestyle facilities with community focal points such as beautiful hills, lakes, recreational areas, jogging tracks and bicycle lanes.
It is surrounded by established signature developments such as EduCity, Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios, Kota Iskandar, and Puteri Harbour
Launched in 2005, Seri Austin covers 500 acres of freehold land. Homes here range from single-storey terrace, double-storey terrace, cluster, semi-D, exclusive bungalows, shop offices, apartments and retail malls.
The township provides Unifi high-speed broadband access to residents as well as designated bicycle lanes. It is also the first township in Johor with smoke-free parks.
Seri Austin has implemented the Effective Microorganism (EM) programme, an effort supported by Majlis Bandaraya Johor Baru. EM is an environmentally-safe product combining beneficial microorganisms that exist in nature which contributes to the health of ecosystems and communities.
As part of Seri Austin’s eco initiative, new trees have been planted along walkways and public areas while existing trees and other large vegetation were relocated elsewhere in the township.
The project’s water-sensitive urban design provides a healthy ecosystem.
Traffic around Seri Austin is relatively low as Iskandar Malaysia is a development zone. Even then, wider roads (by 3ft) is one of the outstanding features in the township.
