JOHOR BARU: Johor Corp (JCorp) and Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Sdn Bhd (IWH) will jointly develop 8,300 units of affordable houses under the 1Malaysia Housing Programme.
The construction of the new houses will begin late this year and complete by late 2015. They will be made available to eligible applicants in nine locations within the Johor Baru district.
IWH managing director Tan Sri Lim Kang Hoo said there would be a good choice of apartments, townhouses or detached single-storey houses to match individual budgets and family requirements.
“The location of the projects in sub-urban areas was carefully selected for easy accessibility to the city here and to provide a ready pool of labour to neighbouring industries and the services sector, “ he said in a statement.
The houses would be built in prime locations with good road connectivity and public amenities, he added. — Bernama
