The Iskandar Malaysia International Destination Resort (IDR) is to be located directly across from Singapore. EDG developed a master development plan and strategy for a 2300-acre mixed-use nature-based tourism resort offering a complementary alternative to entertainment available across the Strait. As an “ecologically” themed development, the current plan includes 3 gated nature-based theme parks and associated IP, related retail and entertainment uses, 3300 hotel rooms and an innovative interactive water village, 4300 residential units, and an ecological golf course with related residential uses. EDG engaged and worked closely with Arup Associates on the development of a “sustainability” overlay to guide future development.
