UMLand has been part and parcel of the Johor property landscape for close to three decades, and we are also a pioneer developer in Iskandar Malaysia.  The opening  of  our  Medini  Lakeside  Gallery  is  a  significant  milestone  for  our  Group  as  we continue to expand our presence in this vibrant and fast-growing State. Our vision for Medini Lakeside is anchored by two UMLand developments, namely UMCity Medini Lakeside and Viridea @ Medini Lakeside. Instead of developing standalone projects on this site, we have taken the effort to plan it in a way that will set new benchmarks in the property sector not only in Iskandar Malaysia but internationally. Given the waterfront element of Medini Lakeside, our masterplan takes its cue from the lush tropical and marine environment while being inspired by sustainable features such as water management and water-sensitive urban developments. We are confident that our vision for Medini Lakeside will resonate well with local and international property buyers and investors alike and the Gallery will become the focal point to  showcase  Iskandar  Malaysia  and  Johor  as  a  destination  of  choice  for  investments, business and contemporary living.” – Dato’ Daniel Chan, Group Director, Property Development (Niche) & Real Estate Management.

Driven by an aspiration to invigorate the 13 acre central lake of the development, we plan to cultivate and rejuvenate the lake into a landscaped lake park ideal for various fauna and man-made structures to co-exist with recreational elements. For this we engaged renowned consultant AECOM to lead the design process. The lake is primed to become a natural ecosystem   providing   water   quality   improvement,   bank   stability,   wildlife   habitat   and recreational uses. The design of the lake will allow residents to experience a unique and integrated  experience  for work, play and relaxation  fit all walks of life especially  families. The lake will also provide the perfect backdrop to the residential and commercial elements of the UMLand Medini Lakeside enhanced with Lakeside Retail and Lakefront Shops.

Built  with  a  modern  and  contemporary  concept,  the  UMLand  Medini  Lakeside  Gallery maximizes natural lighting with its glasshouse design, giving guests an unparalleled view of the  entire  development.   Guests are greeted by a lush landscape, allowing them to experience first-hand living in UMCity Medini Lakeside and Viridea @ Medini Lakeside. The Gallery is anchored by a Linear Park, which sits in between both developments. Within the Gallery  itself,  guests  will  be  able  to  experience  the  show  units  for  Viridea  @  Medini Lakeside’s SOHO units and its serviced residences as well as show units for Shama Medini.
