I-BHD has set out to make its flagship development, i-City, on 72 acres along the Federal Highway, an integrated ultrapolis with state-of-the-art infrastructure connectivity and conveniences to promote holistic living.

As a MSC Cybercentre, i-City is expected to be home to 50,000 knowledge-based workers when it is completed.

Being a prominent tourist destination, this township has an average of 90,000 visitors per week currently. This number is expected to increase after the completion of Central Plaza Shopping Mall in 2017.

“With the high number of visitors at the Leisure Park i-City, as well as higher number of residents in near future, a throughly planned infrastructure is crucial to ease traffic congestion to maintain the harmony of this township,” says I-Bhd director Monica Ong.

Providing exceptional accessibilityIn terms of accessibility, I-Bhd aims to provide a hassle free environment for the residents and visitors, by endeavouring effective means to reduce congestion. The direct flyover access to the Federal Highway, together with the upcoming i-City LRT connectivity scheduled for completion in 2020, are among the exciting things to look out for in i-City. Meanwhile, the Bus Rail Transit (BRT) development along the Federal Highway is in the pipeline.

Strategically located along the Federal Highway, these new infrastructure connectivity will make it highly convenient for the residents to reach Kuala Lumpur and other cities or towns, namely Klang, Port Klang, Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya and Puchong.

i-City is also connected via the other highways, namely New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Kemuning-Shah Alam Highway (LKSA) and North Klang Straits Bypass (Shapadu), reducing distance between major towns.

So far, 20% of i-City has been completed and full completion is expected to be around 2020. Today, completed projects include i-Residence, a 346 units of high-rise tower and 20 exclusive villas, as well as 220 units of Sovo.

The Best Western Hotel opened in January 2015 and the MSC Cyber Offices are also among the projects which are completed to date. The current projects under construction are i-Soho, i-Suite, Liberty Tower and Parisien Tower.

Designed to be one of the most well-planned projects which offers quality from all angles, it comprises residential units, commercial units, mall, hotels, coupled with theme park.

“i-City is well prepared to charm both the residents and visitors, and aims to provide the best experience for all to savour,” Ong adds.
