:: UEM LAND HOLDINGS BERHAD

Kota Iskandar (the Johor State New Administrative Centre) is being developed by Cahaya Jauhar Sdn Bhd (“CJSB”), a 60:40 joint venture between UEM Land Berhad (“UEM Land”) and the Johor State Government, on 320 acres of land. Kota Iskandar brings both the State and Federal Government offices together in one area, for better efficiency in the workings of both the State and Federal Government.

Phase 1of Kota Iskandar comprises the Dewan Negeri Johor, the Menteri Besar and State Secretary Office Complex, two clusters of State Government Department complexes and an open plaza Dataran Mahkota. Phase 1, which is fully funded by the Johor State Government, has been completed. The Federal Government Department Complex is fully operational and was launched by the HRH The Sultan of Johor in April 09.


Phase 2A involves the development of a mosque next to the Dewan Negeri Johor, with a total capacity of 6,000 “jemaah”. Other facilities include a mini library, counselling room, seminar room, mini clinic and dialysis centre. The earthwork and piling works have been completed and the mosque is scheduled to be completed in 2010. Phase 2B comprises the development of staff quarters for the Johor State Government in three separate parcels over 136 acres. Currently construction has not started but we expect it to be fully completed by end of 2011.

Phase 3 which is still pending approval from the Federal Government, will be the development of the Federal Administrative Centre consisting of four office clusters capable of accommodating 3,000 staff from 33 departments. Phase 4 involves the development of the State Government Department complex on a site fronting the Puteri Harbour lagoon. This phase is expected to commence in 2010 and complete by 2012. Phase 5 known as Laman Jauhar, is a tourism-based project that is expected to commence in 2010 and complete in 2012.
