UEM Land at forefront of transformation
Discovery Reports
At the crossroads of Asia's development, Malaysia is pursuing its economic transformation with heavy investments towards becoming Southeast Asia's next regional champion.
Publicly-listed UEM Land Holdings, majority owned by Khazanah Nasional through UEM Group, is at the forefront of this transformation with its flagship project Nusajaya.
A key driver of Iskandar Malaysia, a special economic zone transforming South Johor into a regional economic destination, Nusajaya won the Best Master Plan award in the internationally acclaimed FIABCI Prix d'Excellence 2012 in St Petersburg, Russia.
Nusajaya is home to various catalyst and signature developments. These include Kota Iskandar or the Johor State New Administrative Centre, Puteri Harbour - the award-winning urban integrated waterfront and marina development and SiLC Nusajaya - a clean and green managed industrial park. SiLC is also host to Bio-XCell, Malaysia's first dedicated biotechnology park, which is being developed under a joint venture between UEM Land and Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation.
Medini, a project by Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB), also boasts Asia's first LEGOLAND, which is scheduled to open in September. Envisioned to be the central business district of Nusajaya, this 812.6-hectare integrated city development will emerge as an important nucleus for business, trade and lifestyle with excellent linkages to local and regional networks.
EduCity, another IIB project, is a 159.8-hectare fully integrated best-in-class regional education hub comprising universities and higher education institutions, academia-industry research and development centres, accommodation and recreational facilities including sports facilities. Among the big names based in EduCity are Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia, Netherlands Maritime Institute of Technology, University of Southampton Malaysia Campus, Marlborough College Malaysia, Raffles University Iskandar, University of Reading Malaysia and Multimedia University/University of Southern California.
