WCT gets RM766m jobs in Medini Iskandar
by Surin Murugiah
Friday, 17 July 2009 18:00

KUALA LUMPUR: WCT Bhd has secured four contracts worth RM766.48 million from Medini Iskandar Malaysia Sdn Bhd (MIMSB) for infrastructure works in Medini Iskandar Malaysia, Johor.

WCT said on July 17 the scope of works comprised of earthwork, drainage, roads, infrastructure works, sewerage pumping station, electricity sub-stations and 33KV main distribution sub-stations.

It said the project was expected to be completed by July 2011, and the contracts were expected to contribute positively to the earnings and net assets of the group for the financial years 2009 to 2011.

WCT said MIMSB is a subsidiary of Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB), the strategic developer for Iskandar Malaysia. IIB is in turn a subsidiary of Khazanah Malaysia Berhad.

Medini is in the Nusajaya Development Zone, one of the five flagship zones of Iskandar Malaysia.

Report: WCT jobs point to construction pick-up
Tuesday July 21, 2009
By LEE KIAN SEONG

PETALING JAYA: The award of RM766mil jobs to WCT Bhd is a sign that things are starting to pick up in the construction sector, says HwangDBS Vickers Research.

The brokerage said in a report yesterday this showed that the Government’s pump-priming efforts were accelerating.

HwangDBS was also positive about the fact that the contracts were given to the lowest bidder via an open tender.

AmResearch pointed out that the development was consistent with its recent market strategy report, which highlighted a resurgence in public infrastructure spending as one of the two major themes anchoring recovery in Malaysia’s economic growth in 2010.

WCT received four letters of award (LOA) for infrastructure works in Medini Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, last week.

The works are expected to be completed by July 2011 for Medini Iskandar Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a unit of Iskandar Investment Bhd.

AmResearch said WCT had almost reached its new order-book target of RM1bil for this year with its latest contracts and this should also lift its outstanding order book to about RM3.7bil.

“We expect WCT to convert at least one other LOA for a Sabah job by year-end,” HwangDBS said.

The research house pointed out that the pre-tax margin for the RM766mil contracts was rather low at 5%, implying some risks in the event of cost returns.

“The contracts will ensure better earnings continuity post-financial year ending Dec 31 (FY09) and secure its footing in the Iskandar region,” it said.

However, the valuations of WCT continue to remain stretched at 17 times calendar year 2010 earnings per share, a premium to IJM Bhd’s 14 times and Gamuda Bhd’s 16 times.

AmResearch said the company was expected to be among the key beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s pump-priming initiatives moving into the second half.

“The win has put WCT in the running to secure more jobs within the Iskandar region, which is at the early stages of its infrastructure cycle,” it said.

The research house said WCT was well-positioned to benefit from an expected uptick in domestic contract flows in the third quarter this year.

“In the near term, the company is working hard to clinch a smaller package for a major infrastructure contract in Sabah, worth in excess of RM1bil, within two months,” it said.

On WCT’s overseas projects, AmResearch said the encouraging signs of a re-acceleration in Middle East job flows due to the rise in oil prices would benefit the company.

“WCT is eyeing more repeat jobs within the massive US$40bil Yas Island (Abu Dhabi) development,” it added.

Meanwhile, OSK Research learned there would be more construction works from Iskandar Malaysia in the near future and WCT intended to execute the recent contracts swiftly and bid for more jobs from the same client.

It also said that WCT had a good chance of participating in the new Low-Cost Carrier Terminal worth RM2bil at the KL International Airport, although it was still preliminary at this juncture.

“We tweak upwards our margin assumptions by 2% to account for this new job and raise its earnings by between 5% and 7.5% for FY10 to FY11,” it said.

Who is suppose to fill up the millions upons millions sq ft of office space that they plan to build in Iskandar? Do they foresee that MNCs from either Klang Valley or Singapore will set up their operation in Johor? Is there a strong reason for them to do that?

they are saying that the rental price in johor is 1/15 of Singapore, and its located just 20 minutes drive from Sg CBD and with attractive tax rates. so maybe lah kot.

KFH: Medini Iskandar To Achieve Over RM21.3 Bln Value
July 30, 2009 22:42 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 (Bernama) -- Kuwait Finance House (KFH) foresees Medini Iskandar Malaysia achieving a total development value exceeding RM21.3 billion in 15 to 20 years.

Its international real estate manager Ali Al-Ghannam said in a statement Thursday that the project will link and pave way for integration of business and service activities between Singapore and Malaysia.

Medini Iskandar which is located on the periphery of the Straits of Johor, providing easy access to major Asian cities and the world's rapidly booming economies like India and China, via road, rail, air and sea connectivity.

Al-Ghannam said the group was committed towards playing a vital role in the development of real estate projects in the Asia Pacific region and innovative Islamic financial products.

The group recently bagged two awards at the London Sukuk Summit Islamic Finance Award 2009, of which one was for its role in developing the Medini Iskandar Malaysia project.

Iskandar Investment showcases retail mall in Singapore
By Joseph Chin for theedgeproperty.com
Thursday, 15 October 2009 11:32

KUALA LUMPUR: Iskandar Investment Bhd is showcasing its one million sq. ft. lifestyle retail mall -- Medini North -- at the International Council of Shopping Centers Asia Expo in Singapore.

At the three-day expo which started on Wednesday, Oct 14, it said the move to showcase the mall was to attract potential partners and retailers.

Iskandar Investment, which is developing Iskandar Malaysia, said the mall development, was expected to attract about US$100 million annual retail spend with a catchment of 23 million residents and tourists around the mall.

The shopping centre would be easily accessible as it would be near the new coastal highway, when completed in 2012, would link Medini to the city centre of Johor in the east and the second Johor Bahru-Singapore Link to the west. The new mall will also have public transport service, including the planned light rail service.

As a key player in building Iskandar Malaysia, Iskandar Investment is responsible for developing projects which will create further economic and business spin-offs throughout the region.

"Medini North will come alive in 2012, showcasing to the world Iskandar Malaysia's strong and compelling value proposition," said Iskandar Investment president and CEO Arlida Ariff.

This first shopping mall in Medini North will seamlessly connect to the LEGOLAND Malaysia theme park, hotels and commercial developments which will fulfill Iskandar Investment's vision to develop Medini as the definitive lifestyle and leisure zone in Iskandar Malaysia.

The retail mall will include entertainment components, food and beverage options and a variety of specialty retail outlets.

Medini North, the shopping centre will incorporate natural open-air landscapes and water features, making it an ideal venue for not just shopping and dining, but also to relax and enjoy contemporary art exhibitions, live performances and international festivals in an alfresco environment.

To date, Iskandar Malaysia has more than US$13 billion in committed funds from government bodies and international investors. Iskandar Investment expects an additional US$2 billion in investments over the next two years, including the expected US$300 million in retail investments it hopes to announce over the next few months.

New Johor mall to join retail fray in 2012
By EMILYN YAP

RISING competition for shoppers and retailers looks set to extend from Orchard Road to Johor. A sprawling new mall is coming up in the Iskandar Malaysia economic zone and its developer is actively seeking investors and tenants.

http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/mnt/media/image/launched/2009-10-17/BT_IMAGES_EYMALL17-MRE.jpg
MALL TO OFFER
Artist's impression of the yet unnamed lifestyle mall (above)

Iskandar Investment Berhad - the developer behind Iskandar Malaysia - has huge plans for the yet unnamed lifestyle mall, which should be ready in April 2012. The shopping centre will have a gross floor area of a million square feet and a net floor area of 700,000 sq ft, making it almost comparable to the newly-opened Ion Orchard in scale.

The mall will be big not just in size, but also in ambitions. Iskandar Investment expects the project to attract a footfall of around two million in its first year of operation, and to pocket an estimated US$100 million in retail spending annually. The developer is counting on a potential catchment of 23 million people to bring business to the mall. These will include residents in Johor Bahru (JB) and Singapore, as well as tourists to both regions.

One of the mall's big selling points would be its location right next to the upcoming Legoland. There will also be two office towers, a Legoland-themed hotel and another business hotel nearby.

The development cost for the mall would come up to around US$140 million and construction is likely to start later this year. 'We are in the advanced stages of discussion with several internationally known investors,' said Rosenah Hassan, CEO of Iskandar Investment subsidiary Iskandar Harta Holdings.

Iskandar Investment is also on the lookout for tenants and has been showcasing the mall at various exhibitions. It hopes to fill around 60 per cent of the retail space with department and speciality stores, around 20 per cent with entertainment facilities, and around 20 per cent with food and beverage outlets.

Another selling point for the mall is its low rents. 'We're looking at a range of RM5 to RM10 per sq ft (S$2.06 to S$4.13 psf) depending on the size of the take-up and the location,' Ms Rosenah shared. The rents could change depending on the strength of demand. 'The earlier you come, the better,' she quipped.

Of course rents in Singapore's prime shopping areas, with their established shopper base, are much higher. According to a DTZ report last week, first-storey prime retail space in Orchard Road and Scotts Road commanded a monthly gross rent of $39.30 psf in Q3 this year. Such space in suburban areas fetched a monthly gross rent of $33 psf in the same period.

Iskandar Investment is also offering incentives to attract retailers and it is working out the details, Ms Rosenah said. Those which are sufficiently unique to draw visitors - themed restaurants, for example - may be able to enjoy a 10-year exemption from corporate tax and other perks, she added.

While the mall seems to have several factors working in its favour, it will need good branding and accessibility to attract shoppers, said Ngee Ann Polytechnic real estate lecturer Nicholas Mak.

The mall will be located in the Medini area, which is some distance from the JB city centre. A new coastal highway, set to be ready in 2012, should connect the shopping centre to the JB city centre and the second JB-Singapore Link. There are also plans to make the mall accessible via a light rail service.

Lifestyle mall will enhance Iskandar Malaysia's appeal
By Ahmad Fairuz Othman Published: 2009/10/20

A NEW lifestyle mall in Iskandar Malaysia is expected to become the largest in the southern region, with the potential to attract RM338 million in annual spending.

With a gross retail space of one million sq ft, the mall, situated at the western development zone of Medini North, will benefit from high accessibility to Johor Baru via the coastal highway, which is slated for completion in 2012.

The mall is 15 minutes away from the Second Link to Singapore, and will be connected to public transport services, including the planned Light Rail Service.

It is next to the Legoland Malaysia theme park and it will start operations at the same time as the theme park.

Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB), which is overseeing the project, said the new lifestyle mall would turn Medini North into a hive of activity.

"Medini North will come alive in 2012, showcasing to the world Iskandar Malaysia's strong and compelling value proposition," said Arlida Ariff, president and chief executive officer of IIB.

"Iskandar Investment is proud to have solid relationships with our current investors and will continue seeking trusted partners from across the globe to establish Iskandar Malaysia as the ultimate destination for global citizens to live, play and work," she said in a statement.

IIB had showcased the lifestyle mall to potential partners and retailers during the International Council of Shopping Centers Asia Expo in Singapore from October 14-16.

"This first shopping mall in Medini North, will seamlessly connect to the Legoland Malaysia theme park, hotels and commercial developments which will fulfill Iskandar Investment's vision to develop Medini as the definitive lifestyle and leisure zone in Iskandar Malaysia," said Rosenah Hassan, chief executive officer of Iskandar Harta Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IIB, which is undertaking the lifestyle developments within Medini North.

The design of the mall will incorporate natural open-air landscapes, making it ideal not only for shopping but contemporary art exhibitions, live performances and international festivals.

WCT And Iskandar Investment To Develop RM600 Million 1Medini Condos

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 28 (Bernama) -- WCT Bhd and Iskandar Investment Bhd will jointly develop and co-own the 4.4-hectare 1Medini residential project in Medini Iskandar, Johor with a gross development value (GDV) of RM600 million.

The project will be developed by One Medini Sdn Bhd, a 70:30 per cent joint venture between WCT's subsidiary, WCT Land Sdn Bhd and Medini Land Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Iskandar Investment.

WCT's chairman Datuk Captain Ahmad Sufian attributed the involvement of the company in the 1Medini project as a bonus because WCT had already awarded RM766 million worth of infrastructure works in Medini Iskandar in July this year, where works are expected to be completed by July 2011.

"We are proud indeed to be given this golden opportunity to make our first foray into the Iskandar Malaysia via the Medini Iskandar project and hope to expand our investment here," he told reporters after the signing of shareholder agreement for the development of 1Medini residence between WCT Land and Medini Land, here on Wednesday.

Ahmad said the WCT also wanted to further grow its business in Malaysia and would continue to bid for any projects locally as well as international.

Its order book currently stands at RM3.5 billion. In 2008, local operations contributed 40 per cent to the group's revenue while the balance of 60 per cent came from the overseas market.

The construction and property development company currently has presence in United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, India and Vietnam.

Scheduled to be fully completed by 2015, the 1,332 units of condominiums in 1Medini would include a 68,800 square feet commercial area for local retail businesses.

Priced at RM350 per square feet, the first phase of the condominium is expected to be launched in early 2012.

Iskandar Investment's president and chief executive officer, Arlida Ariff, meanwhile said the strategic partnership with WCT in 1Medini project would help to meet the increasing demand for quality homes as well as to attract talended global citizens to live, work and play in Iskandar Malaysia.

There has been interest from both Indonesians and Singaporeans, she said.

According to the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA), Iskandar Malaysia has over RM47 billion in committed funds from the government bodies and international investors to date.

All systems go in Medini
By ZAZALI MUSA
zaza@thestar.com.my

NUSAJAYA: Global Capital and Development Sdn Bhd will be launching three mixed property development zones in Medini, near here, in the last quarter of the year.

Millennium Development International (MDI) Malaysia country manager Richard Polkinghorne said earthwork and laying of infrastructure facilities at the three zones started a year ago and were progressing well.

He said the master plan developments for the three zones had been approved by the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) and the relevant authorities.

“We’ve hosted strategic investors from all over the world for site visits and many of them have expressed their strong interest to invest in the projects,” Polkinghorne told StarBiz.

Beirut-based MDI is managing the development of the three zones – the two Lifestyle and Leisure Zones and the Iskandar Financial District in Medini – on behalf of Global Capital and Development. The company is a member company of the Jordan-based Saraya Holdings, a real estate development and asset management group involved in developing large-scale tourism and leisure properties.

The Lifestyle and Leisure Zone is divided into two sites – the North Zone on a 235ha site comprising a theme park, shopping centre, medical specialist centre, schools, offices and medium and high-end residential properties.

The South Zone, on a 280ha site overlooking the Straits of Johor and Singapore, will have lower density residential developments such as villas, a golf course, boutique retail centres, as well as a health and wellness village.

The Iskandar Financial District sits on 142ha and will have mixed-use areas anchored by the diverse activities that take place in the international financial centre.

It will also be the regional nucleus to spearhead financial innovation.

“The three zones will be developed over a period of 15 to 20 years with a gross development value of approximately US$20bil,” he said.

The company was upbeat that the projects would be able to attract investors and buyers as there had been growing evidence of an upturn in the property market.

He added that as the economic situation started to show signs of gradual improvement, there were likely to be more investors and individuals looking for good investment opportunities all over the world.

“The economic crisis has taught investors to be more realistic and cautious in their investments portfolio and they now want to see reality rather than imaginary projects,” Polkinghorne said, adding that the crisis was a blessing in disguise as it would be much easier to convince investors to invest in Medini in Nusajaya with massive infrastructure work being done on the site and the ongoing government support.

Medini’s 970ha area is sited on the 9,307.76ha Nusajaya. The latter is one of the five flagship development zones in Iskandar Malaysia. The other four are the JB City Centre, Western Gate Development, Eastern Gate Development and Senai-Kulai.

Polkinghorne said Iskandar Malaysia itself was a good branding as the country first economic growth corridor had strong backing from the Federal Government and Johor Government, Irda and Iskandar Investment Bhd.

“Another strong factor is Johor’s close proximity to Singapore and the well-known fact that both countries are economically interdependent.”

Polkinghorne said Medini would be able to attract not only Singaporean investors but also international companies and expatriates based in the republic to invest there.

The development of Medini is undertaken in partnership between the private and public sectors with key investors – namely IIB, Mubadala Development Co, Aldar Properties, Kuwait Finance House and MDI.

The overall development of Medini is divided into four distinct zones with separate themes: The Lifestyle and Leisure North, Financial District, Medini Central and Lifestyle and Leisure South.

KFH wil invest 6bil in 15 to 20years for dis megaprojek

Medini Iskandar
KFHMB is looking at attracting both buyers for and developers to build high-end residential, commercial and office spaces at Medini Iskandar, located within Bandar Nusajaya.

“Our vision is to establish world-class educational institutions adopting the university of the future concept. KFHMB led a consortium in 2008 to invest about US$329 million in Medini Iskandar via Medini Central Sdn Bhd,” she says.

Medini Central is majority-owned by Al-Nibras 2 Ltd, a private fund company managed by Kuwait Finance House (Labuan) Bhd, which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of KFH Malaysia. Its other shareholders are Iskandar Investment Bhd and Jumeirah Capital of Dubai.

Medini Central @ Iskandar is part of Medini Iskandar development, comprising Zones F, G and I, which will be the trade and logistics zone, creative zone and heritage zone respectively.

The remaining six zones in Medini Iskandar will be developed by Global Capital, which consists of Aldar Properties, Millennium Development and Mubadala Development Company.

The trade and logistics zone will offer top-notch integrated services including warehousing, distribution (transport and freight services), packaging, customs clearance and business process outsourcing. The creative zone will provide a digital ecosystem and infrastructure for international agencies, studios and companies involved in technological R&D, animation, broadcasting, movies, television and the digital content and applications sector.

The heritage zone is a development of exclusive residential properties including bungalows, semidees, link homes and condominiums. There will be a private school, clubhouse, resort house and suburban commercial centre.

“The project is attractive because of its location bordering Singapore and between the booming economies of China and India. Also, the government provides a range of attractive fiscal and non-fiscal incentives,” says Jamelah, who succeeded Datuk K Salman Younis as KFHMB CEO about two months ago. Salman was also KFHMB managing director.

Jamelah is not new to KFHMB. She was deputy CEO and head of the corporate and investment banking division in 2005.

What kind of properties would excite KFHMB? Jamelah says they like residential developments in the Klang Valley, especially in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) area and the Golden Triangle, because these products enjoy good a response from buyers in the Gulf Cooperation Council.

The company is also interested in investing in and financing residential and commercial projects, within the guidelines of syariah principles, in prime locations in Penang, Indonesia and Australia.

Going forward, Jamelah expects better prospects for the real estate sector in Malaysia as fundamentals are heading north with the economy returning to growth in 4Q2009.

“The property market looks positive with the improvement in Malaysia and Asia’s GDP. Consumer sentiment and confidence are positive. However there is a need to tread with caution... as the US and Europe are still in the doldrums,” she says.

September 8th, 2010, 05:51 AM

BINA Puri Holdings Bhd (5932) will develop its flagship commercial project worth RM500 million in Medini North in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, from early next year.

The construction group yesterday inked a deal with Medini Land Sdn Bhd, a unit of Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB), to jointly develop the 2.8ha project, known as Medini Square, via Medini Square Sdn Bhd.

Bina Puri holds 80 per cent of Medini Square, which will build retail, shop-offices and two 23-storey towers, each comprising small office/home office (SOHO) and office units.

Medini Square will have 1.05 million square feet of gross floor area, Bina Puri chairman Datuk Wong Foon Meng said after the signing ceremony in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
"This is a strategic move for Bina Puri and we hope to be the catalytic developer and mover to attract other investors into Medini North," he said.

Bina Puri, which has RM2.5 billion worth of ongoing construction works, is eyeing several infrastructure projects, including in Iskandar Malaysia.

It has bid for projects worth RM4 billion here, in the Middle East, Pakistan, Brunei and Thailand and it expects a 10 per cent success rate.

Meanwhile, IIB president and chief executive officer Arlida Ariff said Medini Square will spur new developments in Medini North.

It will also complement the RM1.7 billion worth of ongoing projects in Medini North, namely Legoland Malaysia and 1Medini, a residential project by WCT Bhd and IIB, she said.

IIB is in talks with several local and foreign investors to build a three-star resort hotel, a four-star business hotel, a retail mall and a high-rise tower in Medini North worth RM1 billion.

1st 1Medini Residences then Medini Square n now Plaza Medini

RM688m mixed project in Iskandar on drawing board
By Sharen Kaur
Published: 2010/12/15

WCT Bhd (9679), a construction and property outfit, will undertake a mixed commercial project in Johor next year featuring retail, offices and apartment blocks.

The RM688 million project, located in Medini, in Iskandar Malaysia, will be WCT's second development in Johor after 1Medini Residences.

1Medini comprising 1,332 condominium units worth RM600 million, will be launched by June next year, said WCT general manager for sales and marketing Stewart Tew.

Tew said WCT is bullish on Johor market, hence it will buy more land there when the opportunity arises.
"We are venturing heavily into Johor. There has been a lot of catalyst development in Medini like Legoland Malaysia and Newcastle University Medical Malaysia.

"Iskandar Malaysia is close to Singapore, a high networth business district. So we see potential to grow in the south," he said yesterday in Kuala Lumpur after a signing ceremony between WCT's Platinum Meadow Sdn Bhd and Global Capital & Development (GCD).

GCD, a Mubadala-led consortium, is the concession holder tasked with the development of Medini, comprising lifestyle and leisure cluster, Medini business district and a cultural centre.

WCT is buying 4.1ha from GCD for its commercial project.

GCD chief executive Keith Martin said it expects a new wave of development in Medini next year.

Martin said GCD is talking to potential investors in various sectors in Asia Pacific to invest in Medini.

GCD is conducting a feasibility study to develop Plaza Medini, a two million sq ft commercial mixed used project, featuring offices, retail, serviced apartments and hospitality venues. Key plans include setting up a US$150 million (RM469.50 million) film and television production facility.
:banana::banana:

Medini is expected to generate over US$20 billion (RM69.6 billion) in revenue over a 15 to 20 year period.

GCD is represented by investors from Malaysia like Iskandar Development Bhd and Mubadala, the Abu Dhabi government investment company.

Global Capital & Development sign investment deal for development within Medini Business District
- Concession holder signs deal with WCT for RM688 million commercial development

Singapore - December 14, 2010 - Global Capital & Development (GCD), the concession holder tasked with the development of Medini, today signed a milestone agreement with Platinum Meadow Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of WCT Berhad, a leading Malaysian construction and property development company, for a RM688 million commercial development in the Medini Business District, the financial and business centre at the heart of Medini, Iskandar Malaysia.

The 10.3-acre development adds to the range of commercial projects already scheduled for development in the Medini Business District. Key plans include a media village cluster development to support Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios, a US$150 million film and television production facility project which is expected to create over 3,000 jobs and will be located in close proximity to the Medini Business District. In addition, GCD will also take a larger role in the success of Medini and is currently conducting a feasibility study to develop Plaza Medini, a two million-square feet commercial mixed use project consisting of office space, hospitality venues, serviced apartments and retail outlets.

"As an internationally recognised company, WCT's presence in the Medini Business District raises the value of commercial development in and around Medini, Iskandar Malaysia. We are pleased with the progress of investment so far into the business district and look forward to offering more global companies looking to expand their businesses in Southeast Asia with a convenient two centre blended business solution, one in Medini and another in either Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Medini Business District provides a quality fully serviced business location at an affordable price point. Investing in Medini will add significant value to growing international businesses," said Keith Martin, Chief Executive of GCD.

Located at the Southern tip of Malaysia, Medini is the flagship development of Iskandar Malaysia, the country's engine of growth. The 142-hectare Medini Business District is located next to Medini North, the city's lifestyle, retail and tourism hub, as well as connected to Medini South, a high-end waterfront residential and leisure community.

The signing event was graced by Datuk Syed Mohamed Syed Ibrahim, President/CEO Designate of Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB), the strategic catalyst contributing to the long-term success of Iskandar Malaysia. IIB was instrumental to the deal, taking the Gross Development Value (GDV) of WCT's projects in Medini to RM1.3 billion, as the company seeks to play a significant role in building Iskandar Malaysia into a sustainable, thriving urban centre in Asia.

WCT's latest investment adds to its growing presence in Medini, building on a joint venture deal with IIB last year to develop 1Medini, the city's first residential development located in Medini North. Scheduled for completion by 2015, the 1,332-unit condominium will also include a 68,800 square feet commercial area for local retail businesses, and will have beautiful views of Singapore and LEGOLAND Malaysia.

The pioneer in social innovation
WCT Managing Director, Taing Kim Hwa said, "The inking of this investment deal with GCD forms part of the Company's business plans to expand its property development presence in the southern region and to complement the development of 1Medini Residences. We are extremely delighted to be part of this journey in shaping the overall scheme of Medini. We are certain this cooperation is mutually beneficial to our respective companies and more importantly the spirit of Malaysian Government in developing Iskandar Malaysia."

GCD recently sealed a landmark agreement with Pantai Holdings to develop the 300-bed private tertiary hospital, Gleneagles Medini Hospital, in a deal worth RM500 million. The hospital, located in Medini North lies in close proximity to 1Medini, LEGOLAND Malaysia, Newcastle University Medical Malaysia (NUMED) in Educity and Kota Iskandar. With the Medini Business District situated just minutes away from Medini North via major new road networks, Medini provides an attractive investment option for investors looking for affordable property next to where they work, play and spend time with the family.

"The international capabilities and experience of both GCD and WCT reflect the high standards that will shape the development of the city of Medini. Our focus is on end-user requirements, integrated with best practices and learning from other major city developments around the world. GCD offers potential investors with partnership opportunities and an integrated response to the challenges of planning, design, energy efficiency and facilities management, throughout the life of the asset. This is something we call 'Medini Class'" added Mr Martin.

Medini is a compelling proposition As a place to live, Medini offers beauty, vitality and sustainability. As a place to do business, it has strong economic and geographical advantages. At the very southern tip of Malaysia, minutes from Singapore, Medini is the flagship development of Iskandar, an urban destination in harmony with its natural setting. Medini is home to 908 hectares of prime development land, across six integrated zones. Global Capital & Development is developing three of these zones which will set new standards in planning and design for the region. Medini North and South are two lifestyle hubs. Each has been carefully master-planned to provide a high quality of life for the resident and a clearly defined set of development opportunities for the investor. Medini’s third zone is the Medini Business District. This 142-hectare economic centre will build on the market strengths of both Malaysia and Singapore, creating a dynamic new hub for regional and international business.

Wow! I'm impressed. Many people here are keeping a close eye on the developments of this project, despite it being behind barriers/hoardings.

As far as I can gather, the completion on the infra packages will be complete by Q3 of this year, with the handover by the end of the year. By which then, I suppose everyone would be able to really get a good feel for it by driving into the project itself.

A show of hands and comments, what do you guys personally think of the prospects of this as a "Mega-Project"? Do you think developers will bite into the idea to invest in building here?

Btw, I'm new here, but not exactly new to the project. :)

Nusajaya on track to come alive in 2012
By Adeline Paul RajPublished: 2011/06/10
http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/uemr-2/Article/index_html#ixzz1OpiocP5I

http://www.btimes.com.my/articles/uemr-2/pix_middle

Kuala Lumpur: Developer UEM Land Holdings Bhd says its Nusajaya township, the key driver of the Iskandar Malaysia emerging economic zone in Johor, is on track to "come alive" in 2012 as targeted.

UEM Land is the master developer of Nusajaya, which is a tenth the size of Iskandar, but the largest integrated urban development in Southeast Asia.

"In 2012, there'll be enough critical mass and completion of projects. Post-2012, a new demand structure will evolve ... and with that, comes better profits," managing director Datuk Wan Abdullah Wan Ibrahim told reporters here yesterday.

Projects that are expected to be completed include the Coastal Highway, which will improve accessibility to Nusajaya. This is expected to be done by the end of this year, ahead of schedule, he said.

Healthcare-wise, there is already Columbia Asia Hospital, while Khazanah Nasional is poised to start on a 350-bed hospital soon.

As for education, Newcastle University Medicine will open this year, and next year, University of Southampton will be completed while Netherlands Maritime Institute of Technology will take on a new campus, Wan Abdullah said.

Theme park Legoland Malaysia will be completed in September next year, while an indoor theme park that is in the advanced stage of construction at Puteri Harbour will be completed by year-end.

As for residential occupancy, there are currently 20,000 homes occupied, which works out to a population equivalent of 100,000, he said.

The ultimate plan is for Nusajaya to have 100,000 homes over time, or a population equivalent of half a million.

Wan Abdullah was speaking at an event to formalise its subsidiary UEM Land Bhd's 55:45 joint venture with Iskandar Harta Holdings Sdn Bhd to develop a mall-and-residence project in Medini, Nusajaya.

The project, known as the Lifestyle Retail Mall and Residences @Medini North, is expected to generate sales of RM850 million.

"This is one of our initiatives to build up a portfolio of recurring income to weather any (property) downcycle," he remarked.

The first phase of the mall is targeted for completion in September next year to coincide with the opening of the Legoland, which is a 200-metre walk away.

Visitors have to go through the mall to get to Legoland, Wan Abdullah said.

The Iskandar project was launched in 2006 to much scepticism about its viability and prospects.

OSK Research, in a report earlier this week after attending a conference that centred on the developments in Iskandar, said it has turned optimistic on its prospects.

"We gather that just like the majority of us, when the entire (Iskandar) project was first launched in 2006, the locals had been sceptical, but have over the years progressively turned more optimistic, especially after witnessing the progress that Iskandar has made to date," it said in the report.

It maintained an "overweight" call on the property sector and said that given the "favourable" outlook for the property market in Iskandar, it had a preference for property developers with sizeable exposure in Iskandar such as UEM Land, SP Setia Bhd and Plenitude Bhd.

Client: Global Capital Development
Location: Johor Bahru, Malaysia
Size: 40 hectares (site area)
Skills: Masterplanning, Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture

Medini 25 is an exclusive, resort style community comprising of 25 villas located in the beautiful natural landscapes of South Medina, in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Medini 25 forms part of the South Medina masterplan – a sustainable community within five minutes of local shops, leisure facilities and the Medini waterfront. Broadway Malyan was commissioned to prepare the Medini villas masterplan, concept architecture and landscape design for two typical villas.

Inspired by the natural Malaysian landscape, the villas are designed harmoniously with nature, providing indoor/ outdoor living. The architecture combines a cool, minimal and restrained aesthetic with warm natural materials. All villas have been designed to bring natural daylight into all of the internal spaces, framing views of the surrounding landscape and bringing nature into the home. With their hilltop location, every villa will enjoy open views of the beautiful surroundings including the mangroves, the Central Lake and Straits of Johor.

Individual villas are located within large private gardens with minimal views of the surrounding properties. All villas have been designed with expansive outdoor terraces, infinity pool, balconies and large gardens and providing access to the natural landscape.

Step forward for GCD Media Village

http://www.broadwaymalyan.com/wp-content/uploads/Medini-Media-SLIDE.jpg

Catalyst for regeneration in Medini, Malaysia handed to Broadway Malyan

International architecture, urbanism and design practice Broadway Malyan has delivered the concept master plan for the GCD Media Village in Medini, Malaysia, which will support the new Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios, a circa $130m film and television production facility project which is expected to create over 3,000 jobs.

GCD Media Village will provide a home and catalyst for creative industries in the region as well support services for the future regional film industry, and it will be located in close proximity to the Medini Business District, which the practice is also masterplanning to create a series of new specialist business clusters.

The practice has also just completed the concept masterplan for the wider Medini project, which will create a series of mixed-use communities over a 1,000 hectare area, with new residential communities and resort hotels planned in Medini Living, the southern-most development zone in Medini, to maximise the hilly topography and views over the protected mangroves.

The practice’s team has delivered the masterplans for client Global Capital & Development, and has drawn inspiration from the surrounding landscape, which includes one of the largest areas of mangroves in South East Asia, and a beautiful waterfront.

Director of Masterplanning Ed Baker said: “The delivery of the masterplans is testament to close partnering with the client and wider project team, as well as the world-class skills, expertise and experience of our diverse team of expert masterplanners, architects and landscape architects.They will result in the delivery of a sustainable business community, and maximise connections with key catalyst projects already underway in the area, including the new Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios, the University of Newcastle’s new medical campus, and future transport infrastructure.”

The Medini project is part of the larger Iskandar development plan, one of the Malaysian government’s key flagship projects covering an area of over 2,217 sq km and equivalent to three times the size of Singapore. The projects are being led by the practice’s Singapore-based team, which is currently celebrating a series of major project wins in Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, as well as across the wider Southeast region.

Wrong, Medini's development is definitely NOT better than Putrajaya's.

There are just lots pf graphics and nice renderings showing Medini, Nusajaya: pure fantasy.....so I would say this is just a crazy proposal, and purely for marketing purposes to attract the rare investor. At least Putrajaya's development is more concrete, even though it is still a pretty dead city.

The coastal highway linking this medini/nusajaya to danga bay is almost completed. based on the media news that i heard and read before this,they reported that 2012 is the tipping point for nusajaya and medini (where most of the catalytic and infra project is schedule to complete)...so let we see starting from next year, what will happen to this medini and nusajaya area. as for me, i give the area 3 years (2012-2015), if there is not at least 7-10 highrise building build (OR still under construction)at the area, i will assume the beautiful,graphical planned medini n nusajaya skyline project is quite fail,...hahaha..coz some reputable developer have already plan to build highrise building at the area.let me list it:

Developer & Highrise project
1) UEM Land : Imperia
2) Bina Puri : Medini Square
3) WCT Engrg : 1Medini
4) Encorp : Serviced apartment

so if this group of reputable developers, also still not build those highrise by 2015, i dont think the other highrise project will be build. or in the other case, this area will only full with landed housing estate only..coz most of singaporean prefer to buy landed house in johor. such as horizon hill n setia eco gardens. as for now, 2 highrise building is under construction, Ujana service apartment and apartment for student (near NUMED).

They are just renderings, and nothing more than that. When coming to Malaysia, you know renderings are going to be very much different as compared to the real life structures.

Don't have to treat them so seriously. The main concern here should be how the stripped down real structures going to be like?

no city in Malaysia will beat putrajaya. The money spent by Petronas is enormous it went beyond economical return. No private developers have the same financial strength like Petronas, even if they do, the maths doesn't add up to make a profit so i would say, it just looks good on the rendering. If they match Putrajaya's mighties and fancy buildings, at least gonna take them 20 years man...

Agreed. Without a lot of people living in Putrajaya, there aren't a lot of property tax payers. So the federal government must be constantly pumping in money just to service the under-utilised infrastructure in Putrajaya. The landscaping, the street lights that shine on the vast number of roads without buildings built next to them, the asphalt/concrete pavements that have to be resurfaced year in, year out. The entire cost used to maintain such a vast new city without the population doesn't make any sense, and that is why I am totally opposed to Nusajaya and Medini. At least Putrajaya is a federal territory and has direct access to government money. Nusajaya/Medini belong to Johor, and with a government here that cannot even manage its state investment firm JCORP well, and Iskandar Authority already has a corruption scandal, I fear Johoreans would bear the brunt when Nusa/Medini eventually fails. Don't think bankrupcy would never happen in Malaysia: Just look at Spain and Greece! Let's not be overly ambitious and let's develop JB town proper better first to generate revenue!

The biggest problem in Iskandar Malaysia is actually HUMAN POPULATION.

There is actually not enough purchasing power to justify these projects, EXCEPT relying on friends from Singapore (Malaysian PRs, Singaporeans and foreigners based in Singapore).

The indication of projected 3.5mil population in Iskandar is actually wrong already, as mentioned by the previous CEO of Iskandar Investment, unless they are able to MOVE people from Klang Valley to there, thus that explains why the Special Tax Rate there for Malaysian citizens.

You can see alot of key projects in Iskandar is about bringing PEOPLE into this area, ...subsequently the projects will evolve to building new real estate for investments - which is bringing FUNDS into this area.

Have you ever wondered why the previous CEO of Iskandar was let go? Was she actually involved in corruption? There was a scandal in the news, and not long later, she left.....suspicious isn't it?

And totally agree with you about the population factor. Singaporeans would not come in droves to live in Nusa/Medini as an isolated area means it is less secure, etc. It is not convenient to shop/dine compared to if one were living in JB. And which middle-class JB-ian would want to live so far away from the city centre? The only people I can see relocating there are civil servants...but then they probably have no choice since all their offices are relocated there. People will not relocate to a new area when there are hardly any entertainment, convenience, reputable educational and work places located nearby in their hoods.

Actually JB only needs to get its first priority right, which is security. Not all those nice renderings, or create big hoo-haa news for $XXXbillions of investments. Those news can't buy trust anymore, as many projects failed to materialize after so many years.

Sad to say i can't see this from happening in the near future. What we get now are all those empty pondok without policeman, or you just see the policemen reading newspaper relaxing themselves in the pondok. Some of them earn it the 'hard' way, standing under the sun to collect their 'fund' from rakyat (yes...such treatment is not exclusive to S'poreans). When you approach them for help, they are hardly helpful, likely you will just receive some mocking hostilities.

If JB can provide a safe environment, investors will come naturally. JB has such a strategic location, is really up to our M'sians to lose.

Iskandar Malaysia lands RM1.8b deal from China-based company
By Bernama
Thursday, 03 November 2011 14:52

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 3): Iskandar Investment Bhd, the catalytic project developer of Iskandar Malaysia, has secured a RM1.8 billion real estate investment from China-based company Qingdao Zhouyuan Investment Holdings.

Qingdao Zhouyuan is a subsidiary of Hebei-based real estate developer Zhouda Real Estate Group. President and chief executive officer Datuk Syed Mohamed Ibrahim said theinvestment project, over two phases, will commence next year and be over aperiod of about 10-15 years.

"This is the first real estate investment by a foreign company in Medini Iskandar Malaysia and the biggest project investment in the area, to date," headded.

He was speaking to reporters after signing two framework agreements with Qingdao Zhuoyuan for the development of mixed residential and commercial projects in Medini Iskandar here on Thursday.

The ceremony, witnessed by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin, was held in conjunction with the third World Chinese Economic Forum.

The first framework is for the establishment of a joint venture between Iskandar Investment and Qingdao Zhuoyuan to develop a residential project on a 7.256 hectare plot in Medini North, in close proximity to LEGOLAND Malaysia.

The total sales value (TSV) of the project, 80 per cent owned by Qingdao Zhouyuan, is RM157.6 million with an estimated investment reaching RM1.2 billion.

The second framework agreement is for the sale of lease for a 3.896-hectare plot, also in Medini. Qingdao Zhouyuan will establish a mixed-use development on the site, which has a TSV of RM70.8 million and total investment estimated atRM520 million.

"Qingdao Zhouyuan's investment into Medini, is a clear affirmation of the company's confidence in the growth potential of Iskandar Malaysia and Iskandar Investment as its investment partner, to take on opportunities in Southeast Asia," Syed Mohamed said.

Currently, Iskandar Investment is also in discussions with several foreign investors from China, Korea, Indonesia, Japan, India and Singapore in the Iskandar Malaysia project. The discussions are expected to be finalised in the next six months. — Bernama

IIB and Darul Tinggi to develop RM600m condo project in Medini
11 November 2011 - 05:12pm
http://www.thesundaily.my/news/205641

PETALING JAYA (Nov 11, 2011): Medini, the flagship development of Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB) in Johor's Iskandar Malaysia, has secured another investor in addition to one earlier last week, this time a local property developer, Darul Tinggi Sdn Bhd (DTSB), to be part of the development.

On Nov 3, IIB had signed an agreement with China-based real estate developer Zhuoda Real Estate Group to develop mixed residential and commercial properties worth RM2.5 billion in Medini.

Under the latest deal, IIB’s unit Medini Land Sdn Bhd and DTSB will set up a joint-venture (JV) company called Distinctive Resources Sdn Bhd (DRSB) to develop a high-rise mid-premium condominium project with a gross development value of RM600 million there.

The JV company will be 80% owned by DTSB and 20% by Medini Land.

To be located at Medini North, the condominium project will be implemented in two phases, with Phase 1 involving 351 units scheduled to start in May next year and Phase 2 of 334 units to take place 20 months upon the completion of the first.

“Looking at its strategic location, which is in close proximity to Legoland Malaysia and EduCity, we are optimistic that this condominium project would receive favourable response from potential investors and property buyers more so due to the multiplier effects from these two catalytic projects," IIB president and CEO Datuk Syed Mohamed Syed Ibrahim said in a statement today.

"This development, which caters for both local and international property markets, will also help to spin off other projects and thus bring vibrancy to the vicinity,” he added.

DTSB founder Datuk Dr David Koh said it is seeing an increasing number of people from outside Johor buying properties in Johor Baru.

“Properties in Johor Baru, particularly Nusajaya, are attracting attention because of Iskandar Malaysia, where the first wave of catalytic projects and major infrastructures have either been completed or on schedule for completion by 2012," he said.

Sunway-Khazanah JV acquires land in Medini Iskandar for RM745m
By Surin Murugiah of theedgeproperty.com
Monday, 19 December 2011 17:10

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 20): Sunway Bhd has acquired the leases of two parcels of land for RM745.3 million with a gross development value (GDV) of RM12 billion in Medini Iskandar via a joint venture (JV) with Khazanah Nasional Bhd.

In a statement on Monday, the company said the two parcels of land adjacent to each other totalled 691 acres (276.4ha), adding that the leases acquired were for a period of 99 years.

Sunway said the newly acquired land known as Zone F Medini would boost its landbank by 30% from the previous 2,145 acres, while the proposed development will increase the company's current GDV to RM32 billion. As a result, Sunway will become one of the largest land holders in Iskandar Malaysia.

"With the acquisition, Sunway will have 755 acres of development land in Johor, in addition to the existing land at Bukit Lenang, with estimated total GDV of RM13 billion," it said.

Meanwhile, in an email reply to The Edge Financial Daily, Sunway said the parcels of land were controlled and owned by Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB), which had chosen not to sell the land but grant leases to developers so that they can develop and sell the land to end-buyers.

Sunway said it intended to extend the lease for another 30 years from IIB for which a consideration of 10% of the purchase price would need to be paid to IIB.

http://www.theedgeproperty.com/images/stories/006amedini-sunway.jpg
The company also announced on Monday its JV with Dayang Bunting Ventures Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Khazanah to form Semerah Cahaya Sdn Bhd which would principally be involved in conceptualising, managing, implementing and developing the two parcels of land.

Sunway currently holds 38% in the JV but will increase its holdings to 60% within 54 months from the date of the lease purchase agreement.

Sunway founder and chairman Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah said the acquisition was in line with its strategy to continue extending its expertise in building and managing integrated cities, as exemplified by its integrated developments in Bandar Sunway, Sunway City Ipoh, Sunway Velocity, and Sunway Damansara.

"We want to replicate this expertise in Johor and develop an iconic development which will capture the local, regional and international market segments as we have done with our integrated developments."

"Together with Khazanah, we are confident that we will be able to successfully establish a strong foothold in the state in the near future," he said.

Cheah said the project was expected to contribute positively to Sunway's future earnings and cash flow by 2013.

Khazanah managing director Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar said Sunway's participation in Iskandar Malaysia further demonstrated strong local investor confidence in the region's continuing progress.

"Sunway has a proven track record as a successful master developer in Malaysia and this joint-venture is an indication of Khazanah's deepening collaborative partnerships with the private sector.

"We are confident this joint-venture will further boost Medini Iskandar's progress as a catalyst development for Iskandar Malaysia," he said.

The floor layouts have not been finalised yet.

“We are quite optimistic about the take-up of our shopoffices. Meanwhile, the offices range from 900 to 4,000 sq ft [or half a floor] in size. We are talking to some institutions and investors who are looking at buying en bloc. The talks are at a preliminary stage,” remarks Tee.

The offices and SoHos are priced at RM700 psf while the shopoffices are priced at RM500 psf onwards. Medini Square will come up on 6.02 acres of leasehold land in the Iskandar Malaysia master development. Its features include a central plaza, alfresco dining environment, landscaping and water features, says Tee.

Sunway eyes Iskandar expansion
By RISEN JAYASEELAN Friday March 2, 2012
http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/3/2/business/10840641&sec=business

Company aims to more than double its landbank in Medini Iskandar

PETALING JAYA: Sunway Bhd plans to more than double the size of its landbank in Medini Iskandar, raising it to around 2,000 acres from the already-announced acquisition of around 700 acres, industry sources said.

“The project will be a significant one and Sunway hopes to differentiate itself from other developments in Iskandar with a unique offering, targeting very much the Singapore market,” said one source.

“It will be more innovative than what Sunway has in Malaysia,” the source added.

Another source said there was also a plan for a new road linking the Sunway project in Iskandar to the Second Link in order to give Singaporeans better access to the development.

Sunway hopes to capitalise on its established brand name and its “Singapore connection” through the presence of the Government of Singapore Investment Corp (GIC) as one of its major shareholders since 1999.

An analyst said he was expecting the Iskandar project to be significant for Sunway's earnings going forward and was awaiting more details on their plans.

Last December, Sunway said it had entered into a joint venture with Khazanah Nasional Bhd to buy 276.4ha of land in Medini that would have an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM12bil.

With the acqusition of the additional land, sources said the GDV of the project would be higher, at more than RM15bil.

The land is in Medini's Zone F, which is strategically located in the heart of Iskandar Malaysia.

It is about 10 minutes from Singapore via the Second Link Expressway and 25 minutes from the Senai International Airport.

The joint venture company, Semerah Cahaya Sdn Bhd, is in the midst of drawing up the masterplan for the project.

Sunway currently holds 38% in the joint venture but will increase it to 60% within 54 months from the date of the lease purchase agreement.

This integrated development project will be named Sunway Iskandar, and the first launch is expected in early 2013.

Sunway is required to pump in an initial equity investment of RM136.8mil, and will subscribe for shares in Semerah Cahaya for RM198mil in four tranches.

The first payment of RM49.5mil a year will start from the 18th month from the date of the lease purchase agreement.

Sunway already has a presence in Iskandar through its construction division which is undertaking three major construction jobs in Iskandar Malaysia, including Legoland, Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios and the Central Utilities Facility at the Bio-XCell biotechnology park.

A research house has highlighted that Sunway is paying less than Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O) for the land in Iskandar, but said that did not mean the planned RM12bil development would carry a lower risk given the rising competition among developers in the area.

Also, the report said Sunway might have to tap shareholders for funding at some point in the future to pay for project.

“We believe Sunway has managed to pull a coup, as the location of this land is better than its other competitors at much lower cost,'' Hwang-DBS Vickers research said in a report.

This is Sunway's largest acquisition after the merger of the businesses of two public-listed companies, Sunway Holdings and Sunway City in August which resulted in the merged entity becoming one of the top five property-construction companies listed on Bursa Malaysia.

IIB, MCT ink agreement on Medini Iskandar collaboration
By Haziq Hamid of theedgeproperty.com
Wednesday, 25 April 2012 19:06

KUALA LUMPUR (April 25): Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB) has entered into a collaboration agreement with MCT Group (MCT) to discuss MCT's proposed investment in Medini Iskandar, Nusajaya in Johor.

Under the agreement, both parties will discuss the development of buildings comprising SOHO/studio units, a hotel and a boutique retail gallery as part of MCT's proposed investment into Medini, Iskandar Malaysia.

IIB president and CEO Datuk Syed Mohamed Syed Ibrahim said, "The
presence of MCT would compliment efforts in the transformation of Medini Iskandar into the central business district of Nusajaya, in the heart of Iskandar Malaysia. The projects and lifestyle developments proposed by MCT within Nusajaya will play a role in influencing the development in Iskandar Malaysia."

MCT Group founder Datuk Sri Barry Goh added that they are excited with this project in Medini. "We are very excited with this project in Medini. Nusajaya is not only strategically located in the heart of Iskandar Malaysia for business convenience, waterfront lifestyles and international connectivity, but also stands on strong pillars of catalytic, Entry-Point Projects — such as EduCity, Medini Iskandar and LEGOLAND Malaysia — in addition to Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios and Gleneagles Medini."

He added, "These catalytic projects are in themselves attractive features and unique value propositions for us to plan our mixed development and garner positive market response."

IIB oversees the development of approximately 36 sq km of land in Iskandar Malaysia.

The MCT Group of Companies is a major property developer within the Klang Valley area. Among its projects are the One City development in USJ 25 and Kingsley Hills development at Putra Heights, both located in USJ, Subang Jaya.

THREE MORE: Development of condominiums in KL, Johor and Penang

EASTERN & Oriental Bhd (E&O) will be launching three more condominium projects with a total gross development value of about RM1 billion, within the next six months.

The projects will include the first phases of its properties in Kuala Lumpur, Johor and Penang, said deputy managing director Eric Chan.

The Kuala Lumpur project is located on a half hectare land on Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, while the Johor one is the first part of the RM3 billion Medini Integrated Wellness Capital in Iskandar Malaysia.

The Penang project is the group's second tower for its Andamam at Quayside condominiums.

Chan told reporters this after a media briefing on its completed luxury lifestyle project, St Mary Residences, here yesterday.

St Mary Residences, developed in partnership with the Lion Group, comprises 457-unit luxury apartments, and the E&O Residences Kuala Lumpur, which is the group's first serviced apartment project in Kuala Lumpur. It also has a retail centre of over 34,400 sq ft, which is expected to be fully occupied by the end of this year.

Chan said, to date, half of the retail space had been taken up.

The apartment units, which include 16 penthouses and four super penthouses, were sold between RM1.5 million and RM12.18 million.

All the apartment units, said Chan, have been sold out while the penthouse units will be offered for sale soon.

He said in collaboration with Lamborghini KL, buyers of the su-per penthouses will be offered an option to purchase a limited edition Lamborghini priced at RM1.68 million.

Chan also said E&O for the next six months will provide information on the range of rentals, to owners of the units at St Mary Residences who will be getting their keys next week.

"We will assist them in getting their units rented out for free for the first six months and we will work with valuers and property agents on this," he said adding that the rental price will be between RM5.50 and RM8 per sq ft.

The smallest unit is a studio suite measuring 1,131 sq ft while the biggest is the penthouse unit with a size of 6,759 sq ft.

Hi all, this is my first post in the forum! I hope to contribute more in the future!

Rizal hakim, thanks so much for putting all the renders and pictures of the new projects coming along.

You have done a fantastic job!!

The photos that you posted as CS2 they are not in medini but in Puteri harbour.

The project will be launched in the third or fourth quarter of 2012.

The developer is Sunrise, a company recently bought by UEM Land, and the master planner of Moun kiara in KL.

Vince, those rending that you posted were masterplan ideas , concepts carry out by the concession holders of the medini land. They goal was to market the area to attract developers to purchase land.

To avoid false expectactions among the people who read this, it would be good to put the name of the developer and the expected date of launch with the photos followed by the pictures on the construction.

Like Imperia and Somerset at puteri harbour which were launched, fully sold and ther are now under construction.

First phase of the Mall of Medini welcomes visitors

1/10/2012

NUSAJAYA Lifestyle Sdn Bhd, a joint venture company between UEM Land Holdings Bhd and Iskandar Harta Holdings Sdn Bhd, has opened the first phase of the Mall of Medini in Johor to the public.

Drawing inspiration from globally-successful theme park and lifestyle retail centres such as Americana, The Grove and Universal Citywalk, Medini mall is envisioned to become the lifestyle, entertainment and recreational epicentre of Nusajaya, one of the five key nodes of Iskandar Malaysia.

The mall is dedicated to serve as a gateway to Legoland Malaysia and cater to the needs of local and international visitors to the theme park.

Phase 1 of the Mall of Medini offers intimate high-street, colonnade-style retailing in a classy yet lively and festive environment, which encourages interaction between the internal and the external, a departure from the conventional box shopping mall.

The cool yet naturally-ventilated shopping environment celebrates the beauty of the tropical climate and complements the theme park setting of Legoland Malaysia.

Visitors will be delighted with the retail variety, from food and beverahes, snacks, desserts, confectionery, fashion, gifts and souvenir shops, as they soak in the sassy mix of big band/swing and jazz music flowing through the thoroughfare.

Nusajaya Lifestyle said at present, 90 per cent of the retail spaces had been taken up by household names such as KFC, Manhattan Fish Market, Royal Selangor, Penang Village, Kaki-Kaki Reflexology, Polo Haus, Al-Ikhsan, Tutti Frutti, 1901, myNews.com and Blackball.

"We are excited to see the soft opening of Phase 1 of the Mall of Medini which is about 10 per cent of the overall 2 million sq ft of gross floor area mixed development.

"This is just the beginning of what will be developed in four phases for a period of eight years, with an expected gross development value of RM1 billion," UEM Land managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Wan Abdullah Wan Ibrahim said in a statement.

and by the way, what the heck is a "lifestyle" mall? heck, keep coining those fancy terms to try to fool people into thinking it's more special than it will ever be... it's all a farce! a mall is a mall is a mall... end of story! everything is a lifestyle anyway! ;)

medini lifestyle mall consist of 6phrase..this street mall is one that finish first,the what u call " real mall" is under contruction now,and will attach to this street mall..that will create "real mall" understand?? ive been there,its look better in real life

Everything in creating a metropolis in nusajaya is just BS and pile n pile of talks but unrealized goals... We don't have the money to create that period foreign investors are not interested in pouring in money in either..

just one question..have u been there?:bash:

I wonder who should go see the world.

One Borneo in Kota Kinabalu is supposed to be a lifestyle mall too. It has 3 or 4 blocks of residential towers, 2 or 3 blocks of hotels, a covered A/C mall and even an auto mall: All built within one or 2 phases. And we are talking about KK!

Come on lah, just admit that this bunch of shoplots (like those along PLUS highway stopover) pretending to be a mall is nothing but a failure. Do you remember Danga Bay's "lifestyle mall"?? It was supposed to be built with different phases too, and received lots of pomp during its opening. But look at it right now, with phase 1 closing shop. I think this Medini mall will definitely suffer the same fate as Danga Bay lifestyle mall.

In other parts of the world, like Dubai, Pudong, Incheon (Seoul), etc, when a development region is being built, you can see cranes and high rises all over the place in high density, nothing like what you see in Nusajaya and Medini now. Here, the government fails miserably to convince huge private developers, foreign and local, to invest here and build something big. The only firms doing work here are GLCs like UEM, and we all know that these firms don't build something first class, just some mediocre-quality products. The other small number of foreign firms come here to invest only because of some tax-free incentive. Once that expires and they see the low quality of constructions all around them, they will pack up and leave.

Danga Bay is an awesome site! Only if the Johor government are good at engaging businesses to invest there, that place would have been a new downtown with skyscrapers by now. Obviously, Danga Bay was a failure, and you could see that by how they built and managed Danga Bay leisure mall. It is totally the same as the Medini lifestyle mall now.

^^ thats why its call mall...

and by the way, what the heck is a "lifestyle" mall? heck, keep coining those fancy terms to try to fool people into thinking it's more special than it will ever be... it's all a farce! a mall is a mall is a mall... end of story! everything is a lifestyle anyway! ;)

Guys.. Chill.
Danga bay lifestyle mall is built to bring life to the danga bay area.. They did that and thats y.. Dijaya bought the land which sits on the previous lifestyle mall. Danga bay is a developer for developers. the land bank they have along the bay area is mind boggling... Its just business.

As for medini mall, its just first phase, big investors small investors alike tend to test mrket first, thats y on the master plans every thing is 'proposed development'. However there is real progress is IM. I reckon they spent the last 5-10 yrs getting the roads and infrastructure ready.

Dont be too quick to judge, best indicator ask the business owners at the mall.. See if they make money or not. Isnt that what matters? If the smes are happily depositing money into the bank, it just a matter of time..

I don't know why you are defending this "mall". For good developers, phase one should be something awesome that can pull in all the crowds and make people notice. Noone builds something half-butt and then expects investors to look at the latter projects with confidence. Those so-called "lifestyle malls" are destined to fail. The Danga Bay one failed, so would the one in Medini. Don't give that "ohh they are built in phases" as an excuse, that's pretty lame. Testing the market is not the reason too. We didn't see Mid Valley or KLCC Suria building some attap shops to "test the market" first before they started on the real-deal mall as phase 2, did we? There are so many past lessons that the Medini developers can learn from, but they are obviously not. Also, we are all judging based on the past records.

they want us to focus on legoland..not mall.otherwise by doing phrase by phrase,they can test the market and crowd,and what people want in medini mall..it just simple as that.

so are so liar,danga bay lifestyle mall not failed..it bring crowd to dangabay...its the fact,without danga bay lifestyle,no one will come to dangabay at first.

There are so many past lessons that they can learn from, and we are all judging based on the past records

Mall of Medini:
So now that they know that so many dislike this "mall" and it can't pull in huge crowds, would they just fold up and give up? I mean you said "test the market", and if the market is soft, would they just stop building phase 2?

Danga Bay Mall:
Did you realise that you said "bringing in the crowd in the past"?

P.S.: By the way, it's "phase", not "phrase"!!

No la bro, im not defending it.. In life its really really tough to make things perfect.. And our nusajaya really is green field... To be honest, I have not personally invested anywhere close to nusajaya. But seeing where things are headed, it might just be a possibility.. Who knows I'm just ranting here, but star cruise might just make puteri harbor one stop along the way up malacca straits, a little bird told me.
even mid valley came up in phases but ok, it was much much better thought up. Johor much less nusajaya is a really untested market. But all signs point to a better johr for everyone involved.

But bro in terms of a mall danga city mall .. Hope we see are talking about the same one at danga bay and not danga city mal right? Yeah it failed miserably, can't imagine the anguish of the tenants that invested in the reno of their shoplots.. But in the bigger picture, dijaya bought the land, and its now worth alot more than it was. No?

A for danga city mall aka best world, I think they are doing ok for getting uda ocean, and the convention hall. They are not city sq standard probably never will sadly but from best world its huge step. Success comes from doing lots of small steps slowly bro. and I agree with u... Lots.can be done on the city centre still... But haha the problem lies with having to vote BN.... Sigh. See, life isnt perfect we just make do la, especially in malaysia. Peace brother.
