HATTEN GROUP, Malaysia’s fastest-growing developer in the southern region, is resetting the benchmark with its multi-award-winning development – Harbour City.

Inspired by Malacca’s historic past as an international seaport, the iconic project, shaped like a vast luxury cruise ship, is home to Malaysia’s first 500,000 sq ft indoor and outdoor Ocean Kingdom Water Theme Park, a six-storey aquatic-themed mall offering 800 retail units and three international hotel blocks.

The 33-storey marine-themed holiday destination and winner of Best Integrated Development at the iProperty People’s Choice Awards 2016 is already creating significant buzz in the local property scene. Experts have latched on to the abundant opportunities and unique selling points that set the project apart, especially with the launch of the latest phase, Harbour City Resort Suites.

HARBOUR CITY RESORT SUITES
More than just a resort, Harbour City Resort Suites is an experience of premium resort-style living with world-class facilities, beachside ambiance and stunning sea views.

For this phase, the developer decided to take the concept a step further with a sky-resort concept that features villa-themed rooms, fully equipped with luxurious furnishings to encapsulate everything you desire and more for that perfect island getaway.

Anchoring the project is its integration within the vibrant mixed-use development of Harbour City. An entirely self-sustaining tourist-centric hub, Harbour City’s Resort Suites will capitalise on the tourist numbers drawn in by the Theme Park while directing the flow of guests towards the shopping mall.

Adding further to its viability and cementing its status as a secure investment is its outstanding location.

MALACCA, A STRATEGIC HOTSPOT
Malacca makes full use of its status as a Unesco World Heritage City, raking in more than 15.7 million foreign arrivals to the state last year. This number continues to increase year-on-year and with it comes the growing demand for quality accommodation. Harbour City Resort Suites, situated on Pulau Melaka, is calculated to attract both local and international guests with its one-of-a-kind concept and seamless hospitality.

Going beyond its historical prominence, the State Government is now focused on globalising Malacca’s Trade, Commerce and Investment sectors. Upcoming large-scale projects such as the RM40bil Melaka Gateway Project, the 66-acre Hatten Metropolis and the Mestika Island International Trade Hub will harness international investments and elevate the state into a worldwide arena.

Mobilising on transport and accessibility, initiatives such as the upcoming Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail and the extensive upgrades to the Malacca International Airport are in preparation for the influx of global audiences.

Solidifying Malacca’s economic progress is its latest international trade and tourism agreement with Guangdong province. Bilateral ties between the two states will open up trade routes and increase access to the vast China markets, and vice versa.

This move is calculated to catapult Malacca’s coastal city centre into a world trade hub and standing out among the rampant growth of Malacca is the Harbour City development. With the influx of an international population, Harbour City Resort Suites is geared towards a higher level of luxury and relaxation, poised on the shores of Pulau Melaka.

Pulau Melaka is a pristine man-made island just five minutes’ drive to Malacca’s central business district of Melaka Raya and just 10 minutes from the Unesco World Heritage Zone.

Merging the ambiance of an island with the convenience of the nearby urban city centre, the value of the Pulau Melaka area is set to increase with more tourism-based projects following in the footsteps of Harbour City.

With a strategic location, unique concept and seamless integration within Harbour City, the acclaimed City of Amusement, Harbour City Resort Suites is indeed a game-changer in Malacca’s hospitality scene.
As an investment, the project offers attractive Secured Returns Plans combined with long-term property value appreciation for that all-important security and high yields for savvy investors.
