Bandar Malaysia – 486 Acres

Bandar Malaysia is a 486-acre mixed-use, transit-oriented development located on the former Sungai Besi Military Air Base, just 5 km south of Kuala Lumpur. This development aims to transform Kuala Lumpur into a top livable city and international destination. The proposed development will serve as a major transport hub, connecting high-speed rail to Singapore, MRT, KTM, and multiple highways, thereby enhancing Malaysia’s connectivity to Southeast Asia and beyond. With sustainability at its core, Bandar Malaysia targets net-zero emissions by 2050, integrates renewable energy, and features pedestrian and cycle paths. Over 20% of the site will be dedicated to green spaces, including parks and wetlands, while a “sponge city” approach will conserve water resources. The project will include residential and affordable housing units, prioritizing community well-being through green spaces, education, healthcare, and cultural hubs. Bandar Malaysia will also foster cultural, creative, and educational industries, supporting entrepreneurship and offering world-class educational opportunities. In essence, Bandar Malaysia is a forward-thinking, sustainable development that sets a new standard for urban planning in Kuala Lumpur and Southeast Asia.
