Bandar Tiram township will see the development of 28 acres of Tebing@Bandar Tiram by early 2023, emulating the nature-inspired, enterprise-friendly and community-centric elements and success of its Bandar Dato’ Onn predecessor.
Further, Bandar Dato’ Onn will also undergo re-masterplanning to augment its proposition as a wellness destination for all lifestyles and lifecycles, alongside a new development for Green Landed Residences in 2024. JLand will also spur urban rejuvenation initiatives for Arena Larkin, a 235-acre next-generation urban hub in Larkin District, including the development of Central Park’s pilot phase, which is the commercial and retail hub within Arena Larkin by 2024.
