Today, Tropicana unveils its latest crown jewel in Johor  – the RM80 billion-ringgit township, 163-acre Lido Waterfront Boulevard (“LIDO”). This freehold mixed development is poised to be the future of modern living, offering the best of  both worlds – excellent connectivity and sustainable smart city living. Marking the start of this  mega development, on October 2024, Tropicana hosted an official groundbreaking ceremony  with its main contractor, China State Construction Engineering Corporation (“CSCEC”) for its  first phase branded residence with Banyan Group, the Skypark Kepler. CSCEC is a global leader  in construction and development with operations in over 100 countries, bringing a wealth of  experience in large-scale construction projects. 

Strategically located on premium reclaimed land along the waterfront bordering Singapore,  LIDO is proud to announce its first residential partnership with Banyan Group to build the  stylish Skypark Kepler, a visionary branded luxury serviced apartments that add maximum  convenience and style to smart city living, boasting branded furnishings and fittings. Banyan  Group is an independent global hospitality company with purpose.

In 2024,  Banyan Tree, the Group’s flagship brand, celebrates 30 years of providing sanctuary to global  travelers in awe-inspiring destinations worldwide, from Phuket in Thailand and AlUla in Saudi  Arabia to Mayakoba in Mexico and Lijiang in China.

Speaking at the illustrious event in Singapore, Ong Chou Wen, Chief Executive Officer of  Tropicana expressed his joy in celebrating this important milestone, “We are thrilled to  welcome more than 600 distinguished VIPs and guests to our exclusive private preview held  here at the international Hilton Orchard, Singapore. This good turnout reflects Johor’s pull  factor and huge potential for investors and property owners. LIDO is one of our most luxurious  projects in Johor and our first branded residential partnership with the world-renowned  Banyan Group in building Skypark Kepler residences. The collaboration with global  corporations like CSCEC and Banyan Group, along with Tropicana’s expertise in the property  industry, has proven to be a successful formula. We received positive response and attracted  numerous potential sales leads today.” 

Set to be the new pulse of Johor City Centre, LIDO is home to 7 key components such as  residential, commercial, wellness, education, hospitality, recreational and other lifestyle  offerings. Of the many unique selling points of LIDO are its freehold international zoning, close  proximity to the RTS link (less than 5km & approximately 7 -10 minutes drive), fully-furnished layouts with an unobstructed waterfront view, 2.5km waterfront boardwalk, Samsung smart  home features, green-certified building, and multi-tiered security. The Skypark Kepler certainly lives up to its name as the coastal jewel of Johor offering all-around conveniences  and smart city living. 

SKYPARK KEPLER, THE STUNNING SEAFRONT BRANDED RESIDENCE

6. Another icing on the cake for purchasers and investors is the exclusive access to the  Banyan Sanctuary Club & Banyan Living. 

a. The Banyan Sanctuary Club is a programme offered exclusively to Banyan Tree,  Angsana, Cassia, and Laguna property owners. Club members will receive an  extensive range of benefits including discounts throughout Banyan Group  worldwide. In addition, owners who have their properties managed under a hotel branded rental scheme are allowed to exchange part of their annual entitlement  for a complimentary stay at any destination within the network. Annual enrolment  into the exchange programme is automatic and incurs no additional cost to  owners. 

b. In the coming months, Banyan Group will unveil their latest rental platform that  enables anyone to book branded and unbranded residences as they would a hotel  room. There are no membership requirements. The minimum length of stay  depends on the regulations of the city/country of the residence’s location. Banyan  Living is designed to help facilitate rentals of its own branded residences and those  of other investors and developers under the Banyan Group. 

c. Banyan Living is another consideration for investors choosing Banyan-branded  products, as the Group offers comprehensive rental and management services  upon project completion. The rental platform comes as the sector remains  resilient. In Asia Pacific, the average pipeline growth is 72% from 2023 to 2030,  according to Savills Research and Savills Global Residential Development and  Consultancy. Supply increased 216% over the past decade. 

d. Associating properties with a well-known luxury brand can lead to higher rental  returns compared to independent or new brands, enhancing the property’s  investment appeal. 

e. Banyan Living is a platform that will add value to property owners by offering wider  distribution exposure, thus rental/revenue opportunities post-handover. Through  the Group’s strong background in residential sales, Banyan Group also has a  valuable buyer pool, which may also add more value to this platform.
