Johor’s New Gem
The Suasana Iskandar development piques investors’ interest with its myriad offerings and convenience
United Malayan Land Bhd (Umland) is a pioneer in property development and the awardwinning company in charge of the Suasana Iskandar project, the fourth collection under the Suasana brand. Aiming to provide a vibrant lifestyle with entertainment and accommodation options, the freehold integrated development comprises residencies, retail space, and an upscale hotel. Set to launch in the first quarter of 2017, the 4-star Amari hotel features 242 luxurious rooms in a 19-storey building which will also house the famous Breeze Spa, plus creative meeting venues. Ideal for both business and leisure travellers, the hotel will be operated by Onyx Hospitality Group, which is renowned for their world-class hospitality. Suasana Iskandar is the only new integrated commercial and residential development on Jalan Wong Ah Fook and Jalan Trus, a 35-storey tower that holds 339 apartment units ranging between 644 and 1,238 sqft. Residents can enjoy facilities like the gym and swimming pool, and have a great view of the Singapore skyline from the rooftop cafe. For those who love to shop or want a fun night out, there’s the Zenith retail mall with a myriad of retail and entertainment outlets spread over 60,000 sqft. A short walking distance to Persada International Convention Centre, Komtar and the City Square Shopping Centre, Suasana Iskandar— which will form an integral part of the Johor Bahru skyline—is also close to the immigration and customs check-point (five minutes away) and JB Sentral Station, where the upcoming Rapid Transit System will operate, promising convenience for travellers to and from Singapore. As the state government plans to create a sustainable metropolis of international standards—with approaches such as the Sungai Segget rehabilitation—coupled with lucrative investment opportunities, Suasana Iskandar is a great project aligned with the transformation of Johor Bahru.
