CYBERJAYA will be transformed into a global technology hub with a new blueprint comprising a new Cyberjaya City Centre development. It will have a gross development value of RM9 billion when it is completed between eight and 15 years from now.

Finance Ministry secretary-general Tan Sri Irwan Serigar Abdullah said this is part of the government’s plan to revitalise the originally envisioned information and communications technology (ICT) hub, when it was launched in 1996.

Speaking to reporters after chairing a meeting on the “Blueprint for Elevating Cyberjaya to a Global Tech Hub” here, yesterday, Irwan Serigar said the Cyberjaya Global Tech Hub Blueprint, which is currently receiving feedback and input from stakeholders and government entities, will be presented to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Irwan Serigar, who is also Cyberview Sdn Bhd chairman, said an array of projects, flanking the rejuvenated cyber city, will also be developed.

He said there will be focus on affordable housing with PR1MA houses, a 500-bed public hospital, a new mosque scheduled to open in January and also a “400m walkalator” connecting Cyberjaya to the proposed MRT link at Putrajaya Sentral.

State-owned Cyberview is the land owner of Cyberjaya and manager of the new CyberJaya City Centre initiative. Setia Haruman Sd Bhd is said to be responsible for overseeing the overall development work as Cyberjaya’s master developer.

Also present at the media briefing was Cyberview managing director Faris Yahaya, who said Cyberview has revised its policies and has stopped selling land since Irwan Serigar joined its board of directors in November 2012.

The new mantra for the firm is to co-develop land, and the new mandate is to move from being a real es-tate player to a technology player.

“The premise of the policy-change is to ensure the sustainability of the company. The new business model for Cyberview is to do joint ventures because we don’t want to lose the land and we have to be more strategic in our approach,” he said.

Faris said Cyberjaya City Centre, which is key to the new Cyberjaya masterplan, will benefit greatly from the proposed high-speed rail (HSR) and MRT line which will pass through neighbouring Putrajaya Central. The elevated walkalator, he said, will be able to house shops and commercial outlets.

Prior to the new masterplan for Cyberjaya, Cyberview’s board of directors discussed the need for a new mandate for the ICT hub last December. Following that, the company engaged Roland Burger Strategy Consultants, a Germany-based global strategy consulting firm, in April this year to conduct a 10-week study and come up with the blueprint for a new masterplan for Cyberjaya.

Cyberview’s board is scheduled to sit again in September to view the proposal and upon approval, will be forwarded to the Economic Council under the Economic Planning Unit at the Prime Minister’s Department for the green light.

Roland Burger’s recommendations to give Cyberjaya a competitive edge include focusing on five ICT areas, namely information security, creative content, mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data analytics and four non-ICT sectors: green technology, biotechnology, wearable technology and smart grid technology.

what is your opinion?

which one in other part is as convenience as GR?

Skypark, the place n ioi resort city mall I heard it s only within 7 min drive frm Gr. No?
I'm looking for a landed. Still considering which one is better. Th

i drove to GR, Symphony Hill and Eco Glades 2 weeks back to assess the accessibility between these 3 areas. I found GR has more convenient in terms accessibility. It 's just opposite to Cyberjaya City Centre and going to Putrajaya IOI City Mall is just within 5 minute as it sits the edge between Cyberjaya and Putrajaya. Going to KL, Puchong and Seri Kembangan are also easy.

How much?

http://www.propertyguru.com.my/blog/tag/cy...spite-dark-past

As an investment location, Cyberjaya has always been a controversial topic among property investors due to its past, especially during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, when the government was forced to take over Cyberview Sdn Bhd, the entity spearheading the smart city’s development.

However, investors who are bullish on Cyberjaya’s property market appear to have outnumbered the naysayers thanks to various factors.

First, the presence of 38 multinational companies (MNCs), 490 MSC Malaysia status firms and 790 other companies in the area proves that the city has the potential to become a lucrative investment destination.

Forming a key part of Malaysia’s Multimedia Super Corridor, investments in the area has also reached RM11.07 billion in 2013 alone, bringing the total to RM35 billion since its founding in 1997.

In addition, Cyberjaya’s existing population is forecasted to double to 100,000 by 2016, and its crime rate is very low, given that it’s the first Malaysian city to have integrated citywide closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras.

Malaysia’s so called 'Silicon Valley' also has one of the most complete transportation systems in entire country. In fact, it’s just a 20-minute drive from KLIA, LCCT and the Kuala Lumpur City Centre.


It also has direct access to other major towns in Klang Valley via Maju Expressway (MEX), North South Expressway (NSE), North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), Damansara-Puchong Expressway/LDP (DPE) and North South Express Centre Link (ELITE Highway).

Knowledge workers in Cyberjaya also enjoy a dedicated bus/shuttle service (DTS) that ferries them from Klang, Gombak, Kepong, Seremban and Klang Valley. The bus routes and schedule are posted at this portal (http://www.cyberjaya.name/dts.htm#), while the bus movements are tracked near real-time by GPS and GPRS. Overall, it serves seven routes 24 hours a day, and it charges each costumer RM213 per month.

But the fastest way to reach Kuala Lumpur CBD (KL Sentral) from KLIA is via the Express Rail Link (ERL). With only three stops, this high speed train service (160km/h) has a stop in Cyberjaya which operates at 15 to 20 minutes interval.

In addition, Cyberjaya’s transport system will see further upgrades. For instance, MEX will be linked with Sri Kembangan in the near future, while the Cyberjaya’s southern part will be connected to Putrajaya’s upcoming Monorail extension. The 58km MRT line from Selayang to Putrajaya will also end at the Cyberjaya/Putrajaya ERL station.

Aside from that, over 100,000 residential units are in the pipeline, including the RM500 million affordable housing project there. The government will also set-up an affordable housing zone, while Cyberjaya’s master developer Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd will deliver 2,500 low-cost units.

This will not only attract more residents and business, but also address Cyberjaya’s previous de-population problem. In 2005, the area was nearly deserted at night due to a limited choice in housing.

In terms of luxury residences, there are about 500 existing landed properties in Cyberjaya, including the recently completed Summer Glades and the initial phases at Garden Residence.

Although the number is somewhat acceptable, an estimated 2,000 units will enter the market in the next three to five years. Main project contributors include Setia EcoGlades, Symphony Hills and Garden Residence.

In terms of commercial real estate, Cyberjaya has seen a plethora of launches with more to come. They include Skypark Mall, The Place, Glomac Cyberjaya, Shaftsbury retails, Vita Courtyard Plaza, CyberSquare Retails, Garden Plaza Retails, Centrus Shopping Mall, Gem’In Mall - Mutiara Ville and the six- storey hypermarket Star Central.

There is also the Pangaea Shopping Mall called Gallery, the D’ Pulze Mercato Shopping Mall (370,000 sq ft), Eminent Ace’s Shopping and Street Mall, along with a planned Commercial Mall at Setia EcoGlades.


The city will also see a host of hospitality venues such Tune Hotel and D’Pulze by Ascott, plus Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions (MICE) facilities in Skypark, Pangaea, Glomac Cyberjaya and Star Central Phase IV.

Last but not the least, the Cyberjaya City Central project is envisioned to become a massive project of international calibre.

With all these developments, Cyberjaya has all the signs of an emerging property hotspot: It’s a leading edge multimedia centre that can attract world-class knowledge workers. It has state-of-the-art integrated infrastructure and IT system. Lastly, it has efficient transportation systems.

In simple words, Cyberjaya is a goldmine that has yet to be completely tapped. So strike the market while it’s still sizzling hot.

.There is a person I know who own few semi d(s) in gr. He sold two of them earning about 400k each. ...ur fren was not that lucky..

there is a planned LRT that will pass by Garden Residence, Cyberjaya and head towards ERL and will branch out to CBJ.

See the rectangle in red below

why wait till 2020?

what makes u think 2020? ur opinion or you have fact to back up?

Most likely the new companies like Google, Facebook n others will be located across garden residence - cyberjaya city centre in the future

by the way, the owners from Garden Residence will be happy because High Speed Train ( KL-Singapore ) and MRT 2 will have a stopover in Putrajaya Sentral, while the LRT station is also very nearby to Garden Residence. With IOI City mall is just 5-8 minutes away, its landed residential location gave the most convenience to the residents who stay there compare to SG, SH, SEG. Garden Residence has its own mini mall/retail coming up.

The high-speed rail (HSR) project connecting Singapore and Kuala Lumpur will have seven stops in Malaysia, namely Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Seremban, Ayer Keroh, Muar, Batu Pahat and Nusajaya.

While several of the proposed stations had been revealed earlier this year by Malaysia's Land Public Transport Commission, they were confirmed yesterday by its chairman, Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar.

Construction of the line could begin some time next year, although the actual date has yet to be fixed.

Giving an update on the sidelines of a high-speed rail conference in Tokyo, Mr Syed Hamid said that Malaysia has completed its feasibility study, which has been shared with Singapore.

The Malaysians are now waiting for Singapore's own feasibility study for its section of the proposed 320km to 340km rail, which started in August and is ongoing.

When asked about the timeline of the project, Mr Syed Hamid said construction of the rail could start in the third quarter of next year.

"I think - this is my own view - that (construction will begin) likely in the third quarter of next year. This is my own guess. We targeted it for next year; when exactly next year, we will wait for the first-quarter meeting between us and Singapore," he said.

With the HSR, commuters can travel between Singapore and KL within 90 minutes. Including time for waiting, transfers and immigration clearance, the total journey could take around 21/2 hours.

Cyberview to woo 90 global technology companies to Cyberjaya
Posted on October 4, 2014, Saturday

CYBERJAYA: Cyberview Sdn Bhd has embarked on a mission to attract 90 global technology companies to Cyberjaya in an effort to reenergise its role as a multimedia super corridor city of choice.
Its managing director, Faris Yahaya said the companies could help raise Cyberjaya ecosystem through nine areas of focus.
He said the emphasis on the nine areas did not mean that Cyberview had strayed from its plan to turn Cyberjaya into a global information and communication technology (ICT) hub.
“Rather, we are more focused now. Malaysia has 35 cyber cities and centres and to differentiate Cyberjaya, we are striving to reposition Cyberjaya into a world’s preferred, complete and attractive technology hub within four years,” he told reporters after the launch of the Cyberjaya Creative Playground Festival here today.
Faris said five of the areas were ICT-based, namely information security, creative content, mobile Internet, cloud computing, and big data analytics while four others were under technology clusters, namely green technology, biotechnology, wearable technology, and smart grid.
“Some of the companies identified made the global top 10 brands in the nine focal areas.
“We cannot expect all the 90 companies to be here, but if we can get at least 10 per cent of them, we will be able to put Cyberjaya on the global map again,” he said, adding that Cyberview had yet to initiate discussions with them.
“We are in the process of preparing ourselves because we want to make sure that we have something to offer them and it’s not going to be a cold call,” he said.
Among top companies identified were Google, Cloudera and Ubisoft. — Bernama

I am seeing a lot of traffic lights along that road in d pulze...Once the ppl move in to seg, Symphony hills, arc, tamarind, pangea, lakefront, etc, that whole road will be more jam than cheras....Garden residence has better exit and entry in and out alternatives path around cyberjaya, hence much lesser traffics in the future

Sundhev Sreetharan from Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd, the Master Developer of Cyberjaya, presented the third talk titled “The New Cyberjaya”, which highlighted the prominent location for investment.

“Those who invested in Cyberjaya will be very fortunate in the future as this township has become the centre of attention for many developers,” he said.

From 1997 to 2014, a total of RM20bil was spent on Cyberjaya’s infrastructure and 48% of the land is reserved for parks and public facilities.

“These world-class facilities such as food and beverage outlets, universities and highways (for ease of accessibility), further attract multinational corporations and diverse business groups, thus creating plenty of job opportunities,” he stated.

In the final talk titled “Top 10 Significant GST Impacts to Property Development Industry”, BDO Malaysia executive director (advisory & GST) Gan Hock Soon said, “Malaysia may follow Japan’s initial pattern of increased consumption during the first few months of GST implementation.”

He went on to say that property prices would increase because if the developers did not absorb the costs, they would then pass it on to the buyers.

Elsewhere, Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd Marketing and Sales Department head Sabariah Ramli said the township of Putrajaya was a world-class development.

Sabariah said, “Putrajaya is built by Malaysians for Malaysians; it has played host to a number of international events and competitions.”

The properties which they have developed there are testament to the popularity of the area.

where is the old thread/forum for GR? Was it deleted?

MRT line 2 will be continued from the budget revision from Najib, which is good for GR residents, since MRT 2 and high speed train will be connected to Putrajaya Sentral.

Fifth, Development Expenditure of RM48.5 billion for 2015 will be maintained and spent.

This includes projects for the people economy such as public housing, flood mitigation, water supply, electricity and public transport infrastructure such as Pan-Borneo Highway.

In addition, projects such as the MRT Line 2, LRT 3, High-Speed Rail Kuala Lumpur-Singapore will be continued.

regarding - expat coming to cyberjaya

These are two extremely good drivers and indicators that can be used to foresee an increase in the incoming flow of expatriates who will be directly or indirectly connected with these two industries.

We should not forget the rising fame of Cyberjaya as a regional cyber centre with very competitive offerings for call centres and administrative and/or back office services. As of today, more than 500 MNCs (multinational corporations) and foreigner groups have transferred their technical services to the regional headquarters in Cyberjaya to attract a huge number of expatriates to move there.

New expatriates will be finding a place to stay with due diligence. In all likelihood, their preference would go more towards homes located adjacent to various facilities and amenities, both iconic and branded.

All these factors comprise good news for those developers who have been smart in designing their products according to international standards and in areas conducive to facilitating a proper lifestyle environment. Refer to Table 3.
