Forest City
Forest City is developed by Country Garden Pacificview Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between Country Garden Group and the Malaysian-government-backed Esplanade Danga 88 Sdn Bhd (EDSB). The Forest City, which has recently been constructed, will be a smart and green futuristic city that combines environment, technology, and cutting-edge technology to create an ideal, idyllic, and technology-driven living and working space ecosystem. It will consist of four man-made islands that encompass 30km2. This is a distinctive opportunity to participate in this dynamism, where industries can capitalize on government incentives and pro-business policies that are exclusive to Forest City. Numerous critical industries have already expressed their intention to establish their operations in this region, which will serve as an additional catalyst for regional economic expansion in the context of a consolidated ASEAN community and China’s “Belt and Road” initiative.
Cutting-Edge Planning & Design
Forest City is visually distinct from the other developments and communities in Iskandar, as it is a collection of four man-made islands. Additionally, Country Garden Pacificview distinguishes itself by constructing Forest City as autonomous islands from the ground up, which allows it to establish an urban landscape and essential components that promote an optimal living environment. Additionally, the security and privacy of Forest City will be improved by these distinctive features.
Green
A sustainable community that incorporates a system of energy-efficient buildings that satisfy green standards, resulting in a low-carbon, green city.
Smart
A Smart City in which the use of cutting-edge technology enhances all aspects of urban life, resulting in a fulfilling lifestyle.
Dynamic
A dynamic city with a high-density population that is in connection with the globe.
Harmonious
A harmonic community honoring the rich culture resulting from the variety of its people.
Forest City established a vibrant and pastoral city in collaboration with the esteemed urban planning and design firm Sasaki. Forest City’s vertical greenery is one of its most distinctive features, underscoring the concept of a “forest-like environment with buildings’ façade covered by plants.” In result, Forest City will be an ecological and exclusive living sanctuary.
Smart City
An urban operating system and resource network management will be established to consolidate data from numerous sources, thereby facilitating sophisticated analytics and reporting across city-wide functions, utilizing cutting-edge smart technology.
A distinctive ID will be assigned to each entity in the city, including individuals, corporations, buildings, amenities, products, and services. This ID will establish an intelligent and efficient living and working environment by facilitating seamless connectivity among all entities through the internet.
The interconnectedness of the enterprise, individual, city, and environment will be manifest throughout the entire city, offering a high-end cross-border communication platform for corporates and a lively ambiance for individuals.
Situated in Asian
Forest City is located in the heart of ASEAN, currently the world’s seventh largest economic bloc as its GDP -which has been steadily growing – reached US$3.8 trillion in 2022.
With a population of 600 million which exceeds that of European Union or North America, ASEAN presents a massive market opportunity. In addition, ASEAN has the world’s third-largest young population after China and India: approximately 61% of its total population is under 35 years old.
The region also boasts a growing middle class, with a consumption power projected to grow from US$1.5 trillion in 2015 to US$2 trillion in 2020, which will exceed that of India and potentially even China’s coastal region.
The ever-growing population and the resulting expansion of consumption needs will trigger massive demands for infrastructure, creating new markets and opportunities for businesses.
Advantageous Location
Forest City has been able to gather a number of exceptional strategic partners in just a short span of time due to its superior location. Through the attraction of residual industrial opportunities from Singapore, Forest City will make a substantial contribution to the region's economic growth.
Forest City is the gateway connecting Singapore and Malaysia, as it is a special economic zone within the Iskandar special economic zone. It is situated adjacent to the Tuas Second Link between Malaysia and Singapore and is readily accessible via land and water, being only 2km from Singapore.
The Malaysian government has granted in-principle approval for an exclusive Custom Immigration Quarantine within Forest City, as a free trade port. Additionally, it is situated only a 10-kilometer drive from the Port of Tanjung Pelepas, which is Malaysia's largest container port and handles the greatest possible volume.
The proximity of Forest City to Singapore enables investors to capitalize on the platforms offered by Singapore while expanding their enterprises, thereby benefiting from Malaysia's lower business operation costs. Residents can also indulge in the metropolitan lifestyle of Singapore at a lower cost in Malaysia.
