May 30, 2012 - PropertyGuru.com.my
GuocoLand Malaysia, the property arm of the Hong Leong Group, will embark on the development of the RM48 billion Sepang International City, a project under the Greater Kuala Lumpur National Key Economic Area.
The 4,000-acre eco-city development is expected to secure around 50,000 jobs by 2020 and boost Malaysia's gross national income by RM19 billion.
Prime Minister Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak announced at the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) Progress Update briefing that the development is the biggest Entry Point Project under the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley NKEA.
According to Yeow Wai Siew, Managing Director of GuocoLand, the group by this time is processing its authorisation requirements to begin with the construction works within the next one and a half years.
He also expects the proposed Sepang International City to serve as the catalyst in the growth and future development of Sepang and its surrounding areas.
"Sepang International City is destined to be a model city of the future, not only in Malaysia but in this region. We are honoured to undertake our second EPP initiative on the back of the award-winning Damansara City which was announced as one of the economic boosters under the ETP in January last year," he added.
The waterfront development in the southern lane of Selangor will house a hub for institutions of higher learning, leisure, residential and commercial developments, on top of a world-class urban park mirroring New York City's Central Park.
