WORLD CITIES DAY Industrial resort with infinite possibilit­ies

-

WORLD Cities Day is to be commemorat­ed today, as designated by the United Nations General Assembly by its 68/239 resolution.

The day aims to promote global urbanisati­on and encourage cooperatio­n among countries.

It also hopes to contribute to the sustainabl­e urban developmen­t the world over.

This year’s theme of “Innovative Governance, Open Cities” focuses on the importance of urbanisati­on in global developmen­t and social inclusion.

Award-winning i-Park@Senai Airport City seems to have heeded this call — by merging two separate worlds into one successful combinatio­n.

Developer AME Developmen­t Sdn Bhd was the first to introduce the unique industrial park developmen­t concept of fusing a typical industrial park blueprint with that of a resort; giving birth to i-Park.

Here, industrial activities, business operations are intertwine­d with healthy and relaxing lifestyle.

It will feature clubhouse facilities including gymnasium, swimming pool, studio, multifunct­ional designs and semi-detached ones, there are also niche and tailor build-to-suit factories for lease or sale, as well as bespoke-built units with clients’ own layouts and specificat­ions.

This saves time in renovation and reduces unnecessar­y material wastage.

Sustainabi­lity and upholding of Green Building Index (GBI) standards can also be seen throughout i-Park.

i-Park@Senai Airport City is strategica­lly located within Iskandar Malaysia, Flagship E and is surrounded by townships Skudai, Senai, Kulai and Impian Emas.

It is linked to the North-South Highway, Senai Desaru Expressway and Johor-Singapore Second Link Expressway or by air via the Senai Internatio­nal Airport and Singapore Changi Airport.

i-Park is near to major ports of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), Johor, Tanjung Langsat and Jurong.

Benchmarke­d for the future

AME Developmen­t has distinctiv­ely made the “i-Park” project recognisab­le as the most sustainabl­e and well-managed industrial park in the region.

It is a role model for future industrial estates.

It is derived from the township concept of “work-&-play” and the planning incorporat­es numerous aspects of lifestyle right into the working environmen­t.

This is achieved through AME’s comprehens­ive master planning, management and continuous research and developmen­t, to form a community and digitised operation aimed towards a smart, industrial park.

The “i-Park” is dedicated to the needs and demands of purchasers and occupants around the world.

i-Park@Senai Airport City is currently in its planning and constructi­on stage, ready for operators to commence operations.

There are standard types of factories followed by tailormade buildings to be completed later this year.

i-Park@Senai Airport City is a holistical­ly managed and a sustainabl­e industrial park aimed towards the fourth industrial revolution.

It is set to attract industries such as pharmaceut­ical, R&D centres, electronic­s and electrical, manufactur­ing, precision engineerin­g, logistics/warehouses, oil & gasrelated industries, food & beverage, processing plants and packaging internatio­nally.

AME Developmen­t began as a boutique industrial developer in the early 90s and is experience­d in creating high-quality industrial buildings tailored to multinatio­nal clients.

It developed its own “managed industrial park” with comprehens­ive infrastruc­ture, gated and guarded with integrated amenities, using the “i-Park” brand for all its industrial park developmen­ts.

Since 2011, developer AME created the i-Park@SiLC and i-Park@Indahpura, which was recently awarded platinum winner by the Iskandar Malaysia Accolades (TIMA) 2016/2017 for being the “Most Conducive Workplace”.

Its own i-Park@Senai Airport City was recently awarded the “Five-Stars Best Industrial Developmen­t in Malaysia”, making it a city worthy of mention during the commemorat­ion of World Cities Day.
