Visionary push for another corridor
http://www.thestar.com.my/business/busines...other-corridor/

.. is the MVV yet another grandiose idea that will struggle to take off?
Not necessarily so.

According to its advisers, they are already in serious talks with big-name organisations from across the globe. Among them are said to be the United States’ Mayo Clinic, a world-renowned medical and research facility, and Flex, formerly known as Flextronics International Ltd, a major electronics manufacturer.

MVV will become the sixth economic corridor in the country, but with one notable difference – it will be private sector-led. With groundwork expected to begin on the industrial park parcel in the first quarter of next year, Boston Design Group president Lawrence A. Chan presented the master plan to the MVV steering committee for approval on May 4.

An architect and urban planner by training, Boston-based Chan was brought in to conceptualise phase one. He was previously involved in the planning of the legislative precinct of Putrajaya some two decades ago.

Seem that BSS located in Parcel B Integrated Transport District among 6 core areas of heart beat of phase one instead of Edu-Sports area stated earlier:hehe:

Chan says Boston Design Group was set up specially to make the first phase of MVV, about the size of Boston, a reality.
Phase one will have a total of six clusters, which will form the “heart beat” of MVV.
MVV will be an extension of Greater Kuala Lumpur and will have a population of two million.

Chan says there are various factors that will make MVV appealing to foreign investors.
It will be government-enabled but private sector-driven, which is unlike other economic corridors here.

Secondly, in order for it to be developed, the slate will not be wiped clean. That is, it will not begin with cutting down forests and slicing mountains.

“Instead, it will preserve and integrate the new with the old,” he says.

This factor will appeal to the global big names, whether they be in the industrial, healthcare, education or tourism sectors, he adds.
London’s attraction, he says, is a blend of the old and the new. The same approach was undertaken in other European cities.
“Harvard Square, where I used to have my office, took 350 years to be what it is today. Time and charm work together to bring about what we have there today,” notes Chan, who has also taught or served as a guest critic at institutions like the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Massachusetts Institute of Technnology and the Rhode Island School of Design.

Time and charm built these cities. It was this eclectic mix which gave them a place in time. As an urban planner, he will begin with what is at hand.

Already, much research and visits have been done at the kampung levels in terms of the people’s lifestyle, and on economic and environmental sustainability.

After having analysed the distribution of development aspiration of Negri Sembilan’s six “heart beat projects”, he recommends the six core areas to be sited in about 28,000 acres. These six nodes comprise high-tech industrial clusters, an integrated transport district, a knowledge-education parcel, a biopolis/wellness development, a sports and recreation parcel and a tourism-cum-nature development of more than 500 acres.

The high-speed rail (HSR) station at Labu will provide connectivity.

Expected to span 30 years, these six core areas will attract some RM290bil of investments and create 1.39 million new jobs.

Look again BSS located in the intersection of Parcel A High Tech and industrial park and Parcel B Integrated transport district.  The blue line is road from Nilai while red line is NS Highway. BSS at the best of both worlds haha.

TWENTY individuals in Negri Sembilan became the first batch of government employees to own houses under the 1Malaysia Civil Servants Housing Scheme (PPA1M) when they received keys to their dwellings recently.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, who handed over the keys to the semi-detached units and single-storey bungalows in Taman Berlian, Rantau, said some 4,000 more PPA1M houses would be built in Negri Sembilan in the next two years.

“In total, we have approved the construction of 6,400 houses in 13 schemes throughout the state.

“In fact, we are in the midst of getting the necessary approvals from the relevant agencies to build another 360 such houses in Bandar Baru Sendayan, which would be our 14th scheme,” he said.

Mohamad said the Bandar Baru Sendayan project would have both single and double-storey terrace houses.

Hijayu Aman 37 acres land 251 units DST + 109 SST @ GDV RM115.2m average RM320,000 per house, 9.72 units per acres considered low density

I wonder since when BSS become Bandar Baru Sendayan instead of Bandar Sri Sendayan   Notice that there is SMK Bandar Baru Sendayan in Nusari Aman...well I think The Star won't mention Hijayu Aman a bit too detail in their reports.

#post 1237 got the signboard of Hijayu Aman

The success and development of MVV, says a source, will be based on some of the biggest global names in education, research, healthcare and manufacturing making their home there. The last two years have seen much groundwork and relationship-building between the proponents of the project and the likes of American, Chinese and European multinationals the likes of Equinix, Flex, Mayo Clinic and Tsinghua University from Beijing, China.

Based on above MVV also talk to Tsinghua University (Together with Peking University people say this is PRC equivalent of Oxford & Cambridge University). If Tsinghua set up a branch campus here Xiamen University will be outshine by it, but I think PRC government won't allow it to be happen..

Hijayu Aman 37 acres land 251 units DST + 109 SST @ GDV RM115.2m average RM320,000 per house, 9.72 units per acres considered low density

Finally Sendayan TechPark (123 acres net saleable land) obtained DOE's approval, commencement of earthwork in Sept 2017
