Pomeroy Studio unveil Newpark<br />
A new eco-township set in the 100-year-old former colonial town of Kluang<br />
Award-winning green<br />
designers Pomeroy Studio<br />
have unveiled plans for<br />
an innovative park <strong>and</strong><br />
skygarden orientated ecotownship,<br />
located in the 100-year old<br />
former colonial town of Kluang, Johor.<br />
Close to the most important<br />
Expressway in West Malaysia (the<br />
North-South Expressway), ‘Newpark’,<br />
will be the largest masterplanned commercial<br />
project in Kluang <strong>and</strong> seeks to<br />
balance 21st century trade <strong>and</strong> education<br />
with green living.<br />
It will host a diverse mix of uses that<br />
will mark the town’s evolution from<br />
a palm oil production centre to a preeminent<br />
vocational education <strong>and</strong> trade<br />
leader. Centred in the middle of Johor<br />
state, Kluang is set to capitalize on trade<br />

draw its green inspiration in order to<br />
establish a new chapter in Kluang’s<br />
