Ascott to manage its first serviced residence in Malaysia

The new 204-unit Somerset Puteri Harbour Iskandar is scheduled to open in the Nusajaya flagship economic zone in 2013.

CapitaLand’s wholly-owned serviced residence business unit, The Ascott Limited, has won a contract to manage its first serviced residence in Iskandar, the southern gateway of Malaysia.

The new 204-unit Somerset Puteri Harbour Iskandar is scheduled to open in the Nusajaya flagship economic zone in 2013. The contract is awarded by Nusajaya Consolidated Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between established Malaysian developers United Malayan Land Bhd and UEM Land Berhad.

Mr Lim Ming Yan, Ascott‟s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Malaysia has strong growth potential for Ascott due to its resilient economy and attractiveness as a destination for foreign direct investments. The government has invested significant resources to develop the Iskandar region to spur the growth of Malaysia‟s economy. Besides attracting investments of over RM70 billion from foreign and domestic companies, the large-scale tourism projects in Iskandar also bring tremendous opportunities for serviced residences."

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.
