Overview

• The 26-acre waterfront project inside the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone carries a projected gross development value above RM18 billion.
• Plans call for Thomson Hospital Iskandariah, initially 500 beds with capacity for 1,000, alongside specialist suites, aged care and assisted living, a life sciences tower, a five-star hotel and luxury residences.
• Phase one pairs the hospital works with a 47-storey residential tower, with construction slated to begin next year and the company tying initial openings to the Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS Link’s start of service.
• Thomson Medical projects more than 1,200 jobs in the first phase, while broader SEZ plans are reported to target about 20,000 skilled roles across the zone.
• The company cites demographic ageing and new cross-border connectivity as drivers, with proximity to the RTS station and ferry links expected to draw patients and investors.
