Country Garden Pacificview says Forest City’s Stage 2 development on track

JOHOR (June 22): Country Garden Pacificview announced on June 20 that the US$280 million (S$389.3 million or RM1.2 billion) Stage 2 development of Forest City in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, is on track.

Stage 2, which is set to add eight sq km to Forest City, will see the completion of tourism, healthcare and education facilities. These include three 18-hole golf courses, a five-star 306-room hotel and a medical centre operated by Taiwanese healthcare management provider MJ Group. The centre is expected to receive its first patients in August.

Seven kilometres from Forest City is the site for the first of three golf courses of Forest City’s Stage 2 development, designed by American golfer Jack Nicklaus and his son, Jack Nicklaus II. The golf course is expected to be completed in 2018.

Another Stage 2 project is Shattuck-St Mary’s Forest City, an international school for Grade 6 to 12 students. The school is likely to break ground in July, start enrolment for its inaugural batch of students in September and begin its academic year in August 2018.
