The icon for well-managed industrial parks
A SHINING example of sustainability, functionality and evergreen usability, i-Park@Indahpura in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, is a world-class industrial development designed with today and tomorrow in mind.
The region’s first holistically managed industrial park, it spans 190 acres of freehold land within Iskandar Flagship E and boasts top-notch infrastructure, visionary master planning, as well as a clean and green concept with integrated park amenities.
It was crafted by AME Development – a company that has earned great repute not only for delivering products on time or ahead of schedule, but also for its ability to plan, design and construct industrial premises under urgent timeframes.
To date, Phases 1 and 2 of i-Park@Indahpura are fully sold and leased out.
Over 85% of operators are multi-national corporations from countries like the United States of America, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Netherland and Australia, setting up bases here.
This has created numerous job opportunities for locals from the surrounding matured townships within the larger Kulai district, and as a result, helped improve the local economy significantly.
With so much going for it, i-Park@Indahpura is indeed a worthy winner of the FIABCI Malaysia Property Awards 2018’s Industrial category.
AME Development managing director Kelvin Lee said, “We’re deeply honoured that our unique concept and project development was recognised by the award esteemed panel of judges.
“Credit goes to the team behind all of it, including our project consultants, contractors, and management team who have worked tirelessly in realising the project and now ensuring its upkeep.”
