KUALA LUMPUR: JLand Group (JLG), the real estate and infrastructure arm of Johor Corporation (JCorp), has been named Best Developer (Malaysia) at the prestigious PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards 2025, affirming its leadership in shaping Johor’s property landscape and its growing role in shaping Malaysia’s real estate landscape. Below is the full list of 7 awards secured by JLG:
- Best Developer (Malaysia)
- Best Developer (Southern Malaysia)
- Best Industrial Developer
- Best Township (Malaysia) for Bandar Dato’ Onn
- Best Mega Township for Bandar Dato’ Onn
- Best Connected Township for Bandar Dato’ Onn
- Best Industrial Development for IBTEC – STEPEAST
Awards That Prove Capability Across the Value Chain
These accolades reflect JLG’s integrated end-to-end strength across townships, industrial and sustainable developments, with a proven track record of shaping Johor’s growth since 1972:-
- Bandar Dato’ Onn – A 1,474-acre township comprising 19 neighbourhoods, recognised nationally for its thoughtful master planning, strong connectivity to Johor Bahru and Singapore, and its holistic lifestyle ecosystem. It embodies JLG’s community-first philosophy, where inclusivity, sustainability, and connection define everyday living.
Home to key landmarks such as Tebing Bandar Dato’ Onn, KPJ Bandar Dato’ Onn Specialist Hospital, and AEON Mall Bandar Dato’ Onn, the township continues to thrive as a vibrant, self-sustaining community. Through initiatives such as urban farming, local entrepreneurship, and community engagement programmes, JLG fosters shared prosperity and active community participation.
The Bandar Dato’ Onn Wetlands further reflect JLG’s commitment to environmental stewardship by promoting biodiversity, enhancing water management, and offering residents a green, recreational sanctuary.
- IBTEC – STEPEAST – A next-generation 700-acre Technopolis anchored by Sedenak Tech Park, designed to host data centres, advanced industries, and renewable energy facilities, sets new benchmarks for sustainable industrial transformation.
- Menara JLand – Johor’s first Green Building Index (GBI) Gold-certified tower, symbolising JLG’s commitment to sustainable and innovative commercial development.
The recognitions also enhance visibility for JLG’s upcoming high-rise launch in Bandar Dato’ Onn this November, new developments in Rawang and Bukit Tunku, and its continued ventures in Australia — strengthened by the latest collaboration with Eco World International to explore new real estate opportunities in both Malaysia and Australia.
Building Ecosystems with Community at the Core
JLG’s awards affirm its role as an ecosystem builder that puts community needs at the centre of every development. Unlike the traditional development-first model, JLG begins by creating the platforms — housing, healthcare, wellness, and mobility — ensuring communities prosper and grow alongside each project. This approach has shaped JLG’s position as a value-creating developer with four focus areas:
- Expanding Access and Opportunity – Ensuring communities have better connections to housing, jobs, mobility, and essential services.
- Building Industrial Growth Hubs – Shaping sustainable, investment-ready clusters like IBTEC that generate employment and attract future industries.
- Empowering SMEs and Talent – Supporting local businesses and preparing a workforce aligned with Industry 4.0 and emerging sectors.
- Driving Sustainable Living – Embedding clean energy, water efficiency, digital innovation, and smart connectivity into every development.
“These recognitions affirm the importance of building with purpose. They are made possible through the strategic guidance of JLG’s Board of Directors and stand as a testament to the dedication and commitment of our employees, the trust of our stakeholders and communities, and the strong collaboration with our partners and consultants,” said Datuk Sr. Akmal Ahmad, Group Managing Director of JLG.
“At JLG, every project begins with the community in mind — creating access, opportunities, and ecosystems that allow people and businesses to thrive. Our role is to lay the foundations of growth by connecting physical development with economic potential, enabling economies to strengthen and communities to endure.”
Looking Ahead
As JLG charts its path to regional growth, its priority remains clear: to deliver developments that are not only sustainable and innovative, but also purposeful in connecting people, businesses, and industries to new opportunities. With a proven foundation in Johor, expanding projects across Malaysia, and renewed ventures internationally, JLG is poised to continue shaping communities and driving growth that endures for generations to come.
