Botanika serves as a gateway to Singapore as well as up north to Kuala Lumpur
Covering 12 acres of prime residential land in Iskandar Waterfront City (IWCity) is the riverwalk development of Botanika, which is situated along Sg Tebrau in Johor.
The development in Permas Jaya, Plentong, serves as a gateway to Singapore through Johor Baru and up north to Kuala Lumpur.
Being in the city centre, this development has great connectivity as well as proximity to mature neighbourhoods and amenities such as shopping malls, international schools and a medical centre.
Botanika comprises three towers that offer a total of 792 condominium units; two of the towers have been launched. Forty Townvillas within this phase were launched recently.
The third tower will have 264 units and is expected to be launched in the near future.
Current products by IWCity include Botanika, Danga Sutera and a joint-venture development with Greenland dubbed Helios Cove.
Botanika is targeted at first-time homeowners, medium-size families, those who commute daily to Singapore for work as well as Singaporeans looking for a home in Johor Bahru.
On offer are six acres of lush greenery, two to three car parks per unit, and plenty of living space because the development only allows a maximum of 70 units per acre.
Spacious Type A, Type B and Type C units are available in sizes ranging from 1,126 sq ft to 1,488 sqft.
All the layouts accommodate three to four bedrooms and an en suite bathroom, except for the largest of the three configurations which comes with a dual-key option.
Homebuyers will be delighted to know that their abodes come partially furnished with air-conditioned rooms and living areas, wardrobes in all bedrooms, a kitchen equipped with cabinets, cooker hob and hood, as well as shower screen, laminated flooring and even a Smart Home System.
There are over 20 facilities within Botanika. On the ground level of the development, residents will find a grand entrance, children’s playground and green lung.
Most of the the facilities are to be found above the car park level, including a gourmet kitchen, open dining area, games room, children’s playground, swimming pool, jacuzzi, gym, surau, changing room and toilets.
In addition, a Zen Garden, open plaza, wading pool, BBQ area, covered dining area, and tennis court are on the podium level.
For added security, the development will incorporate a 24-hour security patrol service with CCTV monitoring at strategic locations. Heightened security features are made possible through the Smart Home System available in every home within Botanika.
Getting to and from Botanika is easy. The waterfront homes are located just 5km from the Johor Central Business District and the Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine Complex (CIQ).
The property enjoys direct connectivity to the Eastern Dispersal Link and North-South highway to the north (for Melaka and Kuala Lumpur).
As for access to Singapore, residents can choose to enter the country through the Woodland Checkpoint which is a mere 8km from Botanika. Iskandar Waterfront Holdings (IWH) owns 37.32% of the up-and-coming township of IWCity.
The company is hoping to diversify its operations and goals by actively looking for joint venture partners to further develop its land banks as well as other opportunities related to the property industry.
