Setia Eco Gardens

Setia Eco Gardens is a multiple award-winning township in Gelang Patah within the Iskandar Malaysia region of Johor Bahru, Johor. The 765-acre freehold eco township is strategically situated and easily reachable via a network of highways which first launched in 2007. The development offers homeowners an eco-living experience within a serene rainforest environment, with each precinct gated and guarded to guarantee privacy and peace of mind. Developed by the eminent SP Setia Berhad, this green township has bagged numerous accolades for its innovative eco concept, architecture and horticulture. One of the first few were in 2009 when it represented Malaysia and won Best Master Plan Development category in the FIABCI Malaysia Property Awards and in 2012 when its 28-acre park complex - Eco Greens won the FIABCI Prix d’Excellence Award in the Best Purpose-Built / Specialised Project Category. SP Setia Berhad is a leading listed real estate player with a proven track record of innovation-driven and standard-setting developments. Incorporated in 1974, the developer has built a solid base in Malaysia and has since ventured to Vietnam, Singapore, Australia and more recently in the United Kingdom. The township consists of several developments, namely - Parco, Ruscello and Acero within Eco Residenes; Radena, Avatha 1 and 2, and Elvira within Eco Village; Cardena, Pandora 1 and Vallaris within Eco Village 2; Casea Garden; and Citrus Garden. The project is a one of a kind, eco-living development part of SP Setia’ initiative to create green townships predicated on a deep and proactive respect for nature, which includes restoration and nurturing of flora and fauna. Setia Eco Gardens offers discerning homeowners an eco-living experience enveloped in a tranquil rainforest environment. With each of its developments gated and guarded, residents are rest assured of a peace of mind and most certainly, privacy as each precinct requires an access card. Double-layered security is certainly an effort that should not go unnoticed. Building a community within a serene, resort-like environment is definitely a point for consideration. Residents will enjoy the close proximity of key locations like the Johor Bahru city centre, the mature township of Bukit Indah, Industrial Area, EduCity, Medical Hub, Setia Business Park and Singapore due to the presence of a network of highways just outside the township. With nearly 14.0% of the land area within the development reserved as green zones, homes in the award-winning Setia Eco Gardens is most decidedly a worthy investment for those that enjoy retreating away from the hustle and bustle of the city after a hard’s day work. The developer has made Setia Eco Gardens a home to a number of sanctuaries including a Fern Garden, Natural Pond, Bird Island and Butterfly Creek with an intention to not only propagate various species of plants but to also furnish a learning environment for the younger generation. Strategically located at the center of Iskandar Malaysia, the country’s first economic growth corridor, Setia Eco Gardens is well accessed by a network of highways, making it reachable from key locations in both Johor Bahru and Singapore. The township is 26.9KM from Johor Bahru via the Coastal Highway, 23.4KM from Singapore via the second link bridge, 27.2KM from Senai International Airport, 21.8KM from Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) and 12.9KM to AEON Mall Bukit Indah and Tesco Bukit Indah along the JB Parkway. There are many great educational institutions in the area providing top class education services to the residents of the area. Few of the famous educational institutions in the area include Tenby International School and Pai Tze Chinese Primary School within Setia Eco Gardens itself and the infamous EduCity within Iskandar Malaysia that hosts renowned colleges, universities and even international university branches.

EduCity is just a 15-minute drive away via the Second Link Expressway from the development. AEON Mall Bukit Indah and Tesco Bukit Indah are a 12-minute drive away via Malaysia Singapore Second Link through Pontian Highway. Residents of the township can enjoy the wide variety of amenities hosted at the mall such as a supermarket, retail outlets, a cinema, banks and much more. For the purchase of daily necessities, residents can instead choose to drive over to Tesco Bukit Indah where the locals commonly frequent for cheaper than average groceries. Just outside the AEON mall is Bukit Indah Recreation Park for residents who fancy an evening walk amidst lush greeneries or alternatively stroll along Persiaran Indah / Jalan Indah for a variety of eating establishments and watering holes. The development itself comes with a few attractive facilities such as a double-layered 24-hour gated guarded security for a peace of mind, lush landscaping, a 28-acre community park (i.e. Eco Greens), a senior citizen corner with reflexology paths, a football field, an eco playground, a basketball court, a butterfly trail and the two schools as mentioned above.
