Whether it’s low tide or high tide at the Straits-facing Danga Bay, global real estate player Greenland Group has chosen a spot here to develop 13 high-rise residences perched over the water’s edge, and sprawled over a plot of freehold land. Named after one of China’s most precious gemstones, Greenland Jade Palace is modelled after a resort-styled living concept, with an aim of making the lives of future residents a little less complicated through the application of high technology.
Greenland’s Jade Palace is considered a luxe residential development belonging to Iskandar Malaysia’s financial and cultural hub dubbed Flagship Zone A. The 13-tower waterfront residences join in the ranks of other internationally-inspired properties such as its next door neighbour, Country Garden. While the ‘Country Garden’ property comes with a private beach and marina, Greenland’s Danga Bay begs to differ to a certain extent.
Not only is Greenland’s Jade Palace descending upon Danga Bay, the straits-facing and rapidly-developing edge of Johor, it is also one among many world class properties by internationally-renowned developers that are steadily redefining the status quo of waterfront living whilst reshaping the local landscape.
When it comes to high technology, accessibility to the units resembles that of a hotel. According to Edwin, a sales representative of Greenland Danga Bay Sdn Bhd, each unit comes with a complimentary tablet to stay connected to the development’s retail facilities and services, from online shopping to easy access to food & beverage.

Did you know?
According to a source, reclaimed land that are over 5 years old is safe to be built on. Otherwise, the land may sink before it is ready to serve as a steady foundation for any type of development. A good example of good management of reclaimed land developments would be the Marina Bay area in Singapore; which was left untouched for 20 years to ensure that the land mass is solid enough to withstand developments of various scale.
About the Developer
Greenland Danga Bay Sdn Bhd is a subsidiary of Greenland Holding Group (The Greenland Group). Established in 1992 and headquartered in Shanghai, the Greenland Group eventually became one of China’s forerunner in real estate, resources, finance, energy and construction, and hospitality. Receiving a global status as A Fortune 500 Company pushed the conglomerate’s confidence further to venture beyond its own turf across Asia, Australia, Europe and North America, covering as many as 100 cities. In 2014, it started an overseas expansion. Greenland Jade Palace picked waterfront land Danga Bay in Johor Bahru as the hotspot for its maiden international project Jade Palace, a serviced residence development perched next to the Straits of Johor. That same year also saw the Greenland Group becoming a proud new owner of the Shanghai Greenland Shenhua Football Club.
According to earlier reports, the Greenland Group, among China’s largest state-owned companies, had invested RM600 mil to develop 5.65ha of land in Danga Bay in Iskandar Malaysia.
