How about a place where nature and city coexist in perfect harmony? That’s Sunway Iskandar. It is Sunway’s largest integrated township to date. Sunway Iskandar spans a 2000-acre site. This makes it one of Southeast Asia’s largest developments.
Sunway City Iskandar Puteri celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2024. Sunway City Iskandar Puteri is strategically located. It is just a five-minute drive from the Second Link to Singapore. A Rapid Transit System link across the Straits of Johor is underway. The proposed Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone is being fast-tracked. Sunway City Iskandar Puteri is poised to be Malaysia’s southern development corridor centrepiece.
Did you know that Sunway City Iskandar Puteri is envisioned as Nature’s Capital City? It’s the only green-certified township in Johor. It has attained a Green Building Index Silver certification. Over 40 percent of the township is green and open spaces. More than 500000 trees and shrubs have been planted. Impressive, right?
One of Sunway’s sustainability initiatives is the preservation of a 10-story tall cotton tree. It is dubbed “The Tree of Life.” It stands in the centre of Sunway Lenang Heights at Taman Molek. With ties to surrounding communities stretching back 100 years, it weighs 55 tonnes. The tree was preserved while clearing the land. Then it was transplanted to its current location.
At Sunway Emerald Lake, you can enjoy throwing effective microorganism mudballs into the lake. These mudballs contain lactic acid bacteria and yeast. These ferment organic matter. Photosynthetic bacteria are also included. These organic components accelerate sludge decomposition. They help prevent bad odour and increase the lake’s water quality.
Sunway City Iskandar Puteri promotes responsible consumption. It does this through effective waste management. Food waste is composted using black soldier fly larvae. Landscape composting is also used. Impressive! The township allocates waste recycling stations at its developments. There is also a recyclable waste drop-off station endorsed by the Iskandar Puteri City Council. It has accumulated over 155000 kg of recyclables.
Electric Vehicle charging stations are at Sunway Big Box Retail Park. You can find them at Sunway Citrine Hub. They are also at Sunway GRID Residence and X Park Sunway Iskandar. These provide a convenient charging infrastructure for electric vehicle owners.
Several new developments are planned. These will further elevate the city’s appeal. A state-of-the-art medical centre is planned. It will meet the growing healthcare needs of the community and neighboring countries. There will be a five-star Banjaran resort. A 4.5-kilometre multi-purpose circuit will span 100 acres. This will establish Sunway City Iskandar Puteri as the hub of motoring tourism in the region.
A carbon-neutral Free Commercial Zone development is coming. It is named EqualBase Sunway 103°. It will comprise warehouse and logistic facilities. It will cater to myriad industries. Equalbase Sunway 103° will equip these integrated warehouse complexes with rooftop solar panels. It will strive to attain the highest green certifications.
Sunway City Iskandar Puteri is more than just a township. It’s a vision of balanced living. It’s where nature and modern life come together. As Sunway City Iskandar Puteri continues to grow, it remains committed to sustainability. It strives for innovation and community.
