Sunway aims to create world-class ecopolis in Iskandar
KUALA LUMPUR: Sunway Bhd is pursuing its masterplan to create Nature’s Capital City with worldclass amenities in Sunway Iskandar starting next year.
Having launched RM1.1 billion worth of developments in Sunway Iskandar in the last three years, managing director of property division for Malaysia & Singapore Sarena Cheah said Sunway will bring in market-driven innovations and community service-centric fundamentals within the next five years.
“We intend to build further with two pillars — market-driven innovations and community service-centric township, while driving liveability and connectivity.
“The aim is to make Sunway Iskandar a world-class ecopolis in Iskandar Malaysia by introducing the first-of-its kind concepts that would add sustainable value for stakeholders,” said Cheah.
She said Sunway will set up 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 in Sunway Iskandar.
Sunway Property’s latest launch is the unique integrated Sunway GRID development, targeting the younger demographic, with a gross development value of RM374 million.
The residences will represent the first build-and-buy-online homes launched in Malaysia and Singapore.

The personalisation factor, combined with the most affordable prices, starting from RM350,000 in the vicinity of Medini, are expected to attract an influx of youthful population, she added.
Another pioneering development will be the developer’s first large format retail village in Malaysia and Singapore, the 9.71ha Sunway Big Box Village.
Cheah said unlike other retail centres, the Sunway Big Box Village will be designed in an open concept, the all-new retail experience and will be completed in the fourth quarter of next year.
The first adventure-based extreme park of its kind in Johor and Singapore will be developed adjacent to the Sunway Big Box Village.
The 12.9ha XPARK, scheduled to be partially open by end of next year, will be filled with extreme and lifestyle sports activities that would offer residents and visitors of Sunway Iskandar the natural surroundings.
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.
