Malaysia No. 1 technology city, a world-class development

The i-City Golden Triangle (i-City GT) in the capital city of Selangor is set to be on par with world-class cities globally, with its cutting edge technologies and its 400G-capable network connectivity.

Its conscious adoption of technology in pushing the boundaries of its developments and product offerings is a competitive advantage in widening its sphere of influence among the leading players in the industry.

This Malaysia No. 1 technology city is an international class, master-planned transit-oriented development of the highest standard, with the goal to of driving the digital transformation of the Malaysian economy.

i-City GT is not only about property development but also about establishing business activities that will revolutionise this location as an eminent global technology and innovation centre.

It will be a true example of the way developers are to plan their future projects, taking into account the new norm and lifestyles brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

i-City GT is now expanding into the digital services industry, specialising in information technology (IT) and finance, to increase the living standards of those in and around the community.

The development has already begun demonstrating how this infusion of technology is already at work with the i-City SuperApp – an integrated mobile platform for payments, parking, and other services within the ultrapolis, a testament to the development’s ability to create a cohesive and connected smart living community.

IT is shaping the way businesses in the service sector operate. By embedding elements of the IT and financial services industries, i-City GT will be a location of choice for global technology companies that plan to relocate to the Southeast Asian region, particularly Malaysia, for its world-class infrastructure and readily-available knowledge workers.

Partnerships are being forged with leaders of the new world such as Huawei International, HIKVision, SenseTime, and others to further realise the group’s goals.

The aim is to bring in more players and transform i-City GT, underpinned by a local blueprint but with a global footprint.

Present collaborations with illustrious global names like ServCorp of Australia, the Hilton Group of the USA, and the Central Group of Thailand are marks of confidence in i-City GT, in addition to the foreign direct investments (FDIs) attracted into the capital city of Selangor.

I-Berhad has successfully planted the seeds of growth that have turned i-City GT into an important hub of economic transformation containing living, working, and recreation as its lifeblood.

The i-City GT development is an important catalytic component within the Selangor Economic Corridor and is well on its way into becoming a dynamic component, if not already.

This multi-billion ringgit development is a breath-taking example of an active, modern and futuristic city, embodying the proliferation of technology in a planned city, revolutionising property development into a service economy, and outstretching its key role as a major leader of the future.

Sumurwang Tower, the new Green Building Index-certified Grade-A office tower is the latest addition in i-City GT, where ABC (A-Artificial Intelligence, B-Big Data, C-Cloud Computing) and smart features are employed.

Also, the latest residential project in i-City GT known as BeCentral, situated adjacent to Central i-City mall and neighbouring the DoubleTree by Hilton employs facial recognition and QR codes for entry and car park access.

The driving force of ICT development today also includes a second brain – that completes the entire ICT eco-system to transform, upgrade and promote smart township management and building automation.

When completed, the entire i-City GT landscape will be an integrated IT-centric, modern, international city comprising a shopping mall, an iconic 78-storey tower, corporate office towers, cyber office suites, serviced residences, hotels, recreation, as well as Tier-3 data centre and an innovation hub – a landmark and the ultrapolis as envisioned, and a key driver in the nation’s services-oriented industries.
