environment for its future growth.”
Tey Fui Kien, Executive Director
of Majupadu Development Sdn Bhd,
a reputable developer with accolades
from local and state authorities for
creating quality real estate through
innovative, life-improving commercial
and residential developments in Kluang
said: “We are delighted to be partnering
with Pomeroy Studio given their track
record of pioneering green design. Their
ability to balance design innovation with
culture is just what the town of Kluang
needs. This project is an opportunity to
upgrade Kluang for the future. This is a
game changing moment for us.”
Central to the masterplan is a new
park, called the Promenade, which
draws inspiration from the Gunang
Lambak hills that forms an iconic
backdrop to the town. The Promenade
will connect an expo-trade centre, an
education hub, serviced apartments,
a business hotel and its associated
convention facilities, shop offices and
business parks and a residential
community.
Not only will the Promenade offer an
abundance of social and recreational
amenities for both residents and
visitors, but it will also be a zero energy
public realm - given its ability to generate
enough energy to offset the public
utility infrastructure.
The hotel and the convention centre
at Newpark forms the gateway to
this vibrant new development and is
where the new life of Kluang begins.
Embracing the districts trade and education
focus, it will become the town’s
epicenter of social and economic activity
and will incorporate a multitude of
different functions to cater for visiting
trade and education delegates.
Standing as the tallest building in
Kluang, it will house over 250 businessclass
rooms, suites and family suites. It
will also contain offices, retail, speciality
restaurants, bars and a state of the
art convention centre that will serve
multiple needs from trade and government
conventions, weddings, to cultural
celebrations in its 1200 capacity grand
ballroom. Crowning the development
will be a rooftop bar that will offer
unprecedented views to Gunang
Lambak hills.
The Deck will be a holistic entertainment
and leisure destination associated
with the hotel and convention centre.
It will comprise a myriad of different
amenities that include lap and
recreational swimming pools, indoor,
outdoor and water gyms, a spa, yoga
and pilates zones, a running track,
outdoor chess, children’s day care and
play area and an abundance of seating
areas for social events, relaxation or
quiet contemplation.
All the facilities will be set within
a verdant green garden that will help
reduce temperatures to ensure a
conducive outdoor environment that
guests and visitors alike will be able to
enjoy.
Majupadu’s commitment to transforming
the community by elevating
the quality of life in Kluang will also
see the town receive its first serviced

residences at Newpark. The concept
seeks to balance the contemporary
living with the delight of resort – style
recreational amenities.
Offering a range of suites that have
views to either the Promenade, or the
distant hills of Gunang Lambak, the
design of this landmark residential
development will be a lesson in green
design.
Residents will enjoy reductions
in energy and water bills given the
building’s optimization of natural light,
natural ventilation, grey and rainwater
harvesting methodologies and the
exploration of solar energy.
The result will be green living with
enhanced safety and security blended
with healthier lifestyle choices.
The first phase of the development
will commence in early 2015, with the
first phase comprising of a combination
of shop offices alongside the landmark
hotel and its convention centre, and the
serviced residences.
