With the perfect integration of security, amenities, connectivity, ambience and community, these township developments, spanning over 500 acres, create a wholesome living environment for the residents.
Sunway Iskandar, Iskandar Puteri
The sprawling integrated development, divided into six beautifully crafted precincts, comprises retail, office, mall, residential, education, medical and theme park components.
Drawing upon the key pillars of the award-winning Sunway City in Kuala Lumpur and aligned to Sunway Group’s commitment to sustainability, Sunway Iskandar is developed as a community service driven township with market-driven innovations that revolve around livability and connectivity.
Among the many exciting highlights that form part of this comprehensive township is the large-format retail village in Malaysia and Singapore with its large warehouse-like structure known as the Big Box Village.
The Big Box Village offers a brand new experience for shoppers and a unique leisure component featuring a 32-acre XPARK with fun activities such as go-kart, kayaking, long-range archery and a kids' pump track. Other highlights include Citrine Hub, the first integrated Sunway GRID development, the first build-and-buy-online homes launched in Malaysia and Singapore.
Gerbang Nusajaya, Iskandar Puteri
The development combines residential and commercial components with abundant green spaces and parks that promote healthy lifestyles for all to enjoy.
Drawing on UEM Sunrise’s success as a master developer of Iskandar Puteri, Gerbang Nusajaya is a comprehensive township and greenfield development that is designed to allow close interaction and the fostering of relationships amongst its community via beautiful living and workspaces, extensive amenities and ease of connectivity. The development combines residential and commercial components with abundant green spaces and parks that promote healthy lifestyles for all to enjoy.
Nusajaya Tech Park, developed along Gerbang Nusajaya’s principles of ‘People, Planet and Priorities,’ is the first development here that offers job opportunities for the community.
Together with Frastrackcity, they are geared to harness the best of the Industry 4.0 revolution and provide new growth opportunities for the community as well.
Gerbang, which means ‘gateway’ in English, aptly describes the township’s excellent accessibility via a multitude of highways as well as rail, sea and air links to other parts of the country and Singapore.
Horizon Hills, Iskandar Puteri
To make the town work, Horizon Hills got the planning of the key places right
A decade on, Horizon Hills continues to deliver sustainable value to the community. This integrated and gated town spans 1,200 acres of rolling greens, parks, lakes and waterways.
To make the town work, Horizon Hills got the planning of the key places right. Not only are the homes mindfully designed but the developer also thinks of the workplace, play space, shopping place, park place and the learning place.
These are thoughtfully placed within the town where they are within easy reach of the community. Sitting on the ridge, guests at the 150,000-square feet clubhouse have a breathtaking view of both the nine holes of the golf course. This clubhouse features two swimming pools, a ballroom, gymnasium, children’s playroom, a Chinese restaurant, as well as conference and seminar rooms.
This clubhouse has effectively become a landmark that elevated the image of the area. It has become a place of pride among residents as well as the only communities in the neighbouring town.
Educational institutions nearby include a Chinese national school, international school, kindergarten and also a childcare centre. Provisions are made within the master plan to build more primary and secondary schools in the future. Nearby commercial zones include cafes, grocery store, bakery, fitness studio and clinics. The Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) has named Horizon Hills as Iskandar Malaysia’s “Most Livable Residence”.
