The project, called the Bukit Chagar Integrated Mixed-Use Development, will be a public-private partnership between MRT Corp and Sunway Group, CNA reported.

The two companies signed a strategic partnership agreement on the project in Johor Bahru today witnessed by transport minister Loke Siew Fook.

Construction of the 1.71ha project will begin next month and is set to take over eight years. It will be integrated with the Bukit Chagar RTS station and Johor Bahru’s immigration complex.

The first phase is planned to have more than 1,000 motorcycle parking lots and about 850 car parking lots on a multi-level car park to be completed by Nov 30, 2026.

The serviced apartments and other amenities, including education facilities and a health and wellness hub, are expected to be ready by the first quarter of 2033.

Due for completion in 2026, the RTS Link is a 4km light rail transit shuttle service connecting the Bukit Chagar station and the Woodlands North station in Singapore.

It is expected to serve up to 10,000 passengers per hour per direction during peak periods.
