Magnificent Malaysian Developments

The Forest City Development Will Be Located On Man-Made Islands

— February 5, 2016 — Art & Design
The Forest City development is a highly ambitious and audacious project that is tipped to become a new economic and cultural hub in the Far East.

Spanning well over 3,000 acres, the Forest City development will be constructed on four man-made islands that will help act as a link of sorts between Malaysia and Singapore. The development will include four high-rise condos as well as luxury villas, with each residential development placed in gated communities. It will also include high-speed transportation links, interconnected green spaces and impressive sustainable technologies including rainwater collection facilities, stormwater filtration and solar power setups.

The Forest City development is set to have a huge impact on the Asian economy by linking two of its biggest players.





Trend Themes
1. Man-made Island Developments - The demand for unique and sustainable man-made island developments is on the rise, creating opportunities for innovative construction and design solutions.
2. Interconnected Transportation and Green Spaces - Urban developers are realizing the importance of connecting transportation with green spaces, creating potential for sustainable development and urban ecosystem innovation.
3. Luxury Gated Communities - The rise of luxury gated communities in developing countries creates opportunities for property developers to cater to increasing demand for high-end and exclusive accommodations.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - The real estate industry can capitalize on the growing demand for unique and sustainable man-made island developments, unique luxury accommodations, and beautifully-designed green spaces linked with transportation.
2. Construction - Construction companies can leverage on the trend of interconnected transportation and green spaces in urban development. By incorporating efficient and sustainable technology, they can offer innovative solutions for construction projects.
3. Urban Development - Urban developers can tap on the rising demand for luxury gated communities and create sustainable communities with natural environments, while considering the impact on local ecosystems, to attract high-end real estate investors.
