Horizon Hills Development Sdn Bhd, a 50:50 joint venture between UEM Land Bhd and Gamuda Bhd, has entered into a collaboration with CES Horizon Sdn Bhd (CES Horizon), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore-based Chip Eng Seng Corporation Ltd (Chip Eng Seng Corp), and Nusajaya Greens Sdn Bhd, for the establishment of a built-to-suit school within the Horizon Hills township in Iskandar Puteri, Johor Bahru.

The K-12 international school will be operated by CES Horizon under the “Invictus” international school brand and will offer kindergarten, primary and secondary-level instruction (up till year 12). The campus will occupy 4.14 acres in Horizon Hills, with a gross floor area of approximately 203,875 sq ft. As part of the collaboration, Horizon Hills Development will develop and construct the campus over three phases, which CES Horizon will lease under a 15-year term, with an option to renew for a further 15 years.

Nusajaya Greens, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UEM Land via Bandar Nusajaya Development Sdn Bhd, is the registered owner of the land on which Horizon Hills is sited. UEM Land is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UEM Sunrise Bhd.

Towards More Mindful Town-Making
The school will be located next to Horizon Hills’ south entrance, easily accessible to owners, residents and surrounding communities via Persiaran Selatan Horizon. Its establishment and strategic location underscore Gamuda Land’s commitment to placemaking, mindfully planning every detail to create sustainable townships for generations to come.

Encompassing 1,200 acres in the heart of Iskandar Puteri, Horizon Hills itself draws inspiration from the site’s naturally undulating terrain to craft a gated-and-guarded development where nature and modernity co-exist in harmony.

Launched in 2007, the township is 70% completed to date and is targeted for full completion by 2027. It includes 11 residential precincts and a 150,000 sq ft clubhouse, as well as commercial and office components. Along with an 18-hole, 200-acre international championship course designed by Ross Watson, it offers resort-style living with prime connectivity via major routes such as Jalan Ismail Sultan, the North-South and Skudai Highways, and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link. Once completed, the development will comprise 6,000 residential units with a gross development value of RM7.2 billion.

Lido Waterfront Boulevard Sendirian Berhad, a subsidiary of property developer Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana”) announced recently that it has successfully constructed and completed the flood mitigation system in December 2020.

After thorough checking, the system is ready to be handed over to the local authority, Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru (“MBJB”). This system will aid the Johor government in their flood prevention effort as well as providing a sigh of relief for the Johor community. This initiative reinforces Tropicana’s commitment to redefine the art of living and caring for the community.

Lee Han Ming, Tropicana’s Group Chief Executive Officer shared the company’s commitment to alleviating the life of the Johor community and thanked MBJB for their good support.

“Staying true to our Tropicana mantra, we aim to redefine the art of living by providing a safe and wholesome environment for our community to live and prosper. This handover exercise marked an important milestone for our Tropicana development in Lido Waterfront Boulevard, Johor.

“This newly built flood mitigation system is well-equipped to trap garbage and prevent it from flowing into the sea. This will also help to improve water quality, ending pollution, and saving marine lives. To ensure the system works properly, we have also installed a pump control board and SCADA /CCTV monitor system in the pump control room. We are grateful to MBJB’s support and we are confident that together, we will raise the bar in mitigating flood.”

YAB Dato’ Haji Hasni Bin Mohammad, Menteri Besar Johor affirmed and appreciated the efforts of Tropicana’s building the flood mitigation system for the local community. “By having this flood mitigation system, it will help to ease the flood problem that we have faced over the years at the upstream of Sungai Chat and Sungai Abdul Samad. This system is beneficial for our Johor community.” he summarised.

Lido Waterfront Boulevard is a unique development by the sea which embraces the city lifestyle and waterfront living. Designed to create an integrated waterfront mixed development destination with 2.4km of beautiful coastal promenade in Johor Bahru, this 163-acre development site features a mix of residential serviced apartments, hotels, offices, and retail shopping, complemented by a recreational facility, public park, and an iconic cultural centre.

To add more good news to the Johor community, Tropicana has recently partnered with Raffles American School and Raffles University to provide its homebuyers with attractive rebates when they signed up their children in this education centre.

Setia Eco Templer in Rawang has opened its interchange yesterday, providing improved connectivity to its township and city centre for up to 20,000 residents in that locale.

“With all S P Setia developments, it has always been our commitment to provide the infrastructure and amenities needed to ensure connectivity and fulfil our residents’ lifestyle requirements,” said President and CEO Dato’ Khor Chap Jen.

“I am pleased with the property developers’ efforts in developing areas under the administration of Selayang such as the Setia Eco Templer township, which is a development that is set to become a landmark and focus point, therefore, making [Setia Eco] Templer the chosen location to live in,” said Selayang Municipal Council Yang Dipertua Tuan Haji Shamsul Shahril Badliza bin Mohd Noor.

Setia Eco Templer Interchange with its starting point from Persiaran Eco Templer measures at 450m, providing road users a shorter route to Jalan Rawang.

This will benefit residents living within a 10km radius, as it provides a smoother connection to major highways including Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR), Guthrie Corridor Expressway and New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE).

With the new interchange, road users from Setia Eco Templer can now enjoy shorter travel distances and reduced travel time to Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Selayang, Kepong and Rawang old town.
