Frasers Hospitality Group will be launching its first serviced residence in the federal administrative centre of Malaysia with the opening of Fraser Residence Putrajaya in 2019.
The 253-unit Fraser Residence Putrajaya will have a contemporary and minimalist theme designed by renowned hotel design firm, Bates Smart, water views, easy access to restaurants, retail outlets and offices within its mixed-use development, supermarkets, schools and a hospital located within the area.
Frasers Hospitality Group CEO Choe Peng Sum said, “The addition of Fraser Residence Putrajaya to our portfolio places us in four prominent cities across Malaysia, which is one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies. The next three years will see the launch of more than 10 commercial developments with offices, shopping malls, F&B and entertainment offerings within the area. Furthermore, under its Economic Transformation Program, Malaysia plans to transform the Klang Valley into one of the world’s top investment destinations by attracting 10 multinational companies a year to establish its operations there. This will increase the demand for short to long-term serviced accommodation by foreign diplomats, expatriates, business executives and their families, and we will be well positioned to meet that need.”
An ‘intelligent garden city’ located in the Klang Valley, Putrajaya is well on its way to becoming the green, innovative and connected city it was designed to be, with flourishing tourism, e-business industries and a diverse economy. Only 20 minutes from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Putrajaya is located next to Cyberjaya, a fully integrated high-tech business district known as the ‘Silicon Valley’ of Malaysia, where a growing number of multinational corporations have established their global offices. Putrajaya is linked to other commercial and residential areas within the Klang Valley through major expressways and is the venue for a number of large-scale sporting and cultural events, such as the Ironman 70.3 Triathlon, the Putrajaya International Hot-Air Balloon Fiesta and the Putrajaya International Islamic Arts and Culture Festival.
