RSP to build $200m estate for Malaysian royalty

The estate will be the private residence of the royal family.

Singapore-based design firm RSP Architects, Planners and Engineers has been appointed to design a 27-hectare waterfront estate worth $200m for the Malaysian royal family’s private residence in Desaru, Malaysia.

According to RSP’s Facebook post, this encompasses a royal villa, guest houses, a children’s club, sporting facilities, and a secure underground complex to support the Regent of Johor’s household. These facilities are estimated to be completed in a span of four years.

“This collaboration carries special meaning, shaped by years of mutual respect and understanding between our families. To help bring such a significant and personal project to life on this iconic stretch of coastline is a rare privilege,” Kiat Lim, chairman of RSP said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
