Developer crafts unique property offerings for Medini, creating a mixed development experience unlike any other.

PETALING JAYA: Sunway Property Bhd announced last Thursday the creation of an outstanding property development that would soon be the pride of the developers’ township offering in Sunway Iskandar, Medini.

Sunway Bhd Property Division for Malaysia & Singapore managing director Sarena Cheah said that next year would be an exciting time for the township as the developer had fashioned its masterplan to forge the country’s premier Nature Capital City with world-class amenities in Sunway Iskandar.

“Three years ago, when we first came to Sunway Iskandar, we promised to plant a community seed here, to help drive the prosperity of the Iskandar Malaysia as ASEAN’s most exciting economic growth corridor.

“Since then, we have delivered our promise and we are prepared to embark on the next chapter of growth for Sunway Iskandar,” she said.

“Aligned with Sunway Group’s commitment to sustainability, we intend to build further with two pillars - market-driven innovations and community service-centric township, while driving livability and connectivity at the core.

“These are the two pillars that drove the success of the award-winning Sunway City in KL which is now an economic driver for the Klang Valley, prompting a transformation from a desolate tin-mine to a township with 42 million annual visitations and a population of 200,000 with 35,000 students.

“The aim here is to make Sunway Iskandar a world-class Eco-polis in Iskandar Malaysia by introducing first of its kind concepts that would add sustainable value for all the stakeholders within our community,” she said.

She added that having launched a total of RM1.1bil developments in the last three years, Sunway will bring in market-driven innovations and community service-centric fundamentals in the next five years. This will contribute towards the holistic growth of Sunway Iskandar.

Leading with Market-Driven Innovations in 2018

Continuing on its earlier innovative endeavors, including bringing in the first Canadian (Ontario) curriculum in the southern region, Sunway International School, Sunway Iskandar (SIS,SI) and building the first luxurious prefabricated homes in Malaysia using Japanese technology – the Sakura homes, Sunway Property is looking to power Sunway Iskandar with world-class elements.

This includes the first build-and-buy-online homes, the first large format retail village, the first Xpark in Iskandar Malaysia and the first infirmary for the community.

Targeting the younger demographic, Sunway Property’s latest launch is the unique integrated Sunway GRID development spanning across 5.2 acres of land.

The residences will represent the first build-and-buy-online homes launched in the Malaysia and Singapore. This will allow purchasers to customise their units online before purchase and design their homes from anywhere around the world without visiting the show gallery.

The personalisation factor, combined with the most affordable price starting from RM350,000 in the vicinity of Medini, is expected to attract the influx of youthful demographic that is anticipated to be in Johor.

The integrated development with a gross development value (GDV) of RM374mil GDV comprises 501 units of apartments, 74 units of designer offices and 41 units of retail lots.

The residences will be complemented with the Sunway GRID flexi-suite and shoppe, which is already open for viewing since June. It is designed for entrepreneurs and startups who require medium spaces for their commercial activities.

In conjunction with the launch, the developer has launched a Sunway Iskandar Buyer Appreciation Campaign, #everyoneisAwinner, where participants will stand a chance to win 1 Sunway GRID unit during this campaign. The duration of the campaign will be from Aug 1 to Dec 31, 2017.

Another pioneering development will be the developer’s first large format retail village in Malaysia and Singapore, the 24-acre Sunway Big Box Village.

Unlike other retail establishments, the Sunway Big Box Village will be designed in an open concept, the all-new retail experience. It will encompass 500,000 sq ft of gross floor area (GFA) in retail space and will be completed by Q4 of 2018.

The first adventure-based extreme park of its kind in Johor and Singapore will be developed adjacent to the Sunway Big Box Village.

The 32-acre X-PARK will be filled with extreme and lifestyle sports activities that would offer residents and visitors of Sunway Iskandar the natural surroundings.

It is designed with a wide variety of elements that are intended for recreation for adults and kids such as Go-Kart, kayaking, glamorous camping spots, long-range archery and a kid’s pump track.

Scheduled to be partially open by end of 2018, the XPARK will provide recreational choices for the community and visitors of Sunway Iskandar.

The new retail and leisure elements will be fortified by a hotel which will be linked to the mall making Sunway Iskandar a destination for lifestyle shopping, leisure, and entertainment in its own right.

The construction works for the hotel is scheduled for the first quarter of 2018 and will be completed by the second half of 2019.
