Avaland Breaks Ground on Nature-Inspired Oasis at Cybersouth

The Island : A Haven of Greenery Takes Shape

A groundbreaking ceremony earlier this week marked a pivotal moment for Avaland, signaling the commencement of construction on The Island . This remarkable 16.2-hectare project, nestled within the larger 168.8-hectare Cybersouth township, promises to redefine urban living by seamlessly blending nature and modern convenience.

With a breathtaking 15-hectare waterbody as its centerpiece, The Island is poised to become a vibrant hub of community life, offering a unique opportunity to connect with nature. Scheduled for completion this year, it showcases Avaland's commitment to sustainable development and placemaking excellence.

Embracing Nature's Embrace: Trails, Towers, and Tranquility

Imagine strolling through vertical forests, exploring adventure trails, and relaxing amidst lush greenery. The Island's central green space, featuring climate-resilient native plants, encourages well-being and fosters a deep connection with the local ecosystem. Visitors and residents alike can enjoy breathtaking views from the Sunset Deck and Observation Towers, creating shared experiences and fostering a sense of community.

The Island's design prioritizes sustainability. Energy-efficient lighting, rainwater harvesting, and the use of recycled materials minimize environmental impact, demonstrating Avaland's commitment to eco-conscious development.

Cybersouth's Transformation: A Vision of Interconnected Living

The Island is just one piece of Avaland's ambitious vision for Cybersouth. Ongoing upgrades, including a new main access road and improved amenities, will benefit over 100,000 residents. The company is creating a sustainable, interconnected community with a seamless blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.

A Bright Future: Upcoming Developments and Continued Growth

Avaland's Chief Operating Officer, Aw Sei Cheh, reflects on Cybersouth's evolution: “In 2018, Avaland embarked on revitalising the Cybersouth masterplan, with a clear vision of transforming it into a nature-inspired living township. Key infrastructure upgrades... have seamlessly integrated the commercial hub, recreational island, key amenities and residential areas, cultivating a vibrant, interconnected community.”

Upcoming projects include the first phase of the Meria Development, a dynamic commercial hub, and Avalon, a Balinese-inspired landed home development, both launching later this year. These add to the already successful Casa Embun project and represent over RM 1 billion in ongoing development value.

Sustainable Living for All: Avaland's Commitment to the Future

Avaland is dedicated to sustainable urban transformation. Their diversified business model, with the Ava Luxe, Ava Prime, and Ava Ria property series, aims to offer quality homes across various income brackets. From tree-planting initiatives at Lakefront in Cyberjaya to the GreenRE Silver certified Anja Residences in Bangi, Avaland consistently prioritizes environmental stewardship.

“Avaland is committed to driving sustainable urban transformation through its placemaking efforts, focusing on creating lasting value for both the community and the environment,” explains Aw Sei Cheh.

With a robust pipeline of projects totaling billions of ringgit planned for 2024 and 2025, Avaland is set for continued growth. The company's commitment to placemaking excellence, sustainable development, and community well-being positions it as a leader in shaping the future of urban living.
