Genting Xintiandi: Redefining Highland Living & Investment in Gohtong Jaya
Genting Highlands is poised for a critically important evolution with the emergence of genting Xintiandi, a landmark mixed-use township developed through a strategic collaboration between Aset Kayamas Group and Genting Malaysia Bhd. This aspiring project isn’t just adding buildings to the landscape; it’s crafting a vibrant, self-sustaining ecosystem designed to elevate Gohtong Jaya as the premier lifestyle and commercial gateway to the highlands. Recent milestones, including an impressive 85% take-up rate for the first phase, signal strong market confidence and a promising future for this RM10 billion+ progress.
A Strategic Location & Visionary Concept
For years, Gohtong Jaya has served as a crucial transit point for visitors heading to Genting Highlands.Genting Xintiandi aims to transform this role into something more – a destination in itself. Situated on 24.3 hectares of freehold land, the project benefits from exceptional connectivity, boasting direct access from the main road and seamless pedestrian links to popular attractions like Genting highlands Premium Outlets, Awana Skyway, Resort World Awana, and the Strawberry Leisure Farm.
This strategic positioning, coupled with a forward-thinking masterplan, is the core of Genting Xintiandi’s appeal. Aset Kayamas Executive Director, Michael Chai Woon Huai, articulates the vision succinctly: “To create a thriving, self-sustaining township that combines business vibrancy with lifestyle convenience.” This isn’t simply about commerce; it’s about building a community.
Phase 1: Xintiandi Village – A Commercial Hub Takes Shape
the initial phase, xintiandi Village, is already demonstrating the project’s potential. Comprising 268 stratified shoplots and a dedicated bus depot, it’s designed to be the central commercial and transportation hub for the township. These shoplots, ranging in size from 22′ x 63′ to 24′ x 74′, are available from RM2.9 million onwards, with a competitive maintainance fee of RM0.75 per square foot plus a 10% sinking fund. Completion is projected within 48 months of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) date.
What sets Xintiandi Village apart is its thoughtful design. The architecture beautifully blends Chinese Modern and baba Nyonya influences, creating a visually appealing and culturally resonant environment. Wide frontages, flexible layouts, and pedestrian-kind access are specifically designed to attract a diverse range of businesses – from retail boutiques and restaurants to lifestyle services – catering to both local residents and the influx of tourists.
Beyond Retail: A Township Designed for growth
The success of Xintiandi Village is just the beginning. The Red Earth Serviced Apartment component has already achieved a remarkable 95% sales rate, demonstrating a strong demand for integrated living and investment opportunities within the development.
Though, the true game-changer is the planned Arena – a state-of-the-art indoor venue capable of accommodating up to 18,000 people. This multi-purpose facility, valued at RM1 billion, is poised to become the entertainment nucleus of Genting Xintiandi, hosting concerts, eSports tournaments, conventions, and indoor sports events.
“The Arena will bring new energy, tourism, and economic activity to Gohtong Jaya,” explains Chai. “It’s an investment in the future, designed to attract a wider audience and solidify Genting xintiandi’s position as a regional destination.”
Investment Highlights & Long-Term Potential
The financial figures underscore the scale and ambition of Genting Xintiandi:
* Shoplot GDV: RM633 million
* Arena GDV: RM1 billion
* Overall Township GDV: Exceeding RM10 billion (across seven development phases)
This ample investment reflects a deep belief in the long-term potential of Gohtong Jaya and the surrounding highlands. The project’s freehold tenure, coupled with its strategic location and extensive masterplan, positions it as a compelling investment prospect for both local and international buyers.
Why Genting Xintiandi stands Out
Genting Xintiandi isn’t just another property development; it’s a carefully considered ecosystem designed to thrive. Here’s what sets it apart:
* Strategic Location: Direct access and proximity to key highland attractions.
* Integrated Masterplan: A blend of commercial, residential, and entertainment components.
* Strong Developer Partnership: The combined expertise of Aset Kayamas
