History
Listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX:42S), Astaka Holdings Limited (“Astaka”) is a leading integrated property developer based in the Iskandar region of Johor, Malaysia, and is the result of a reverse takeover in November 2015 of E2-Capital Holdings Limited by Astaka Padu Limited.
Astaka’s founder saw the potential of Johor Bahru and set out with a vision to transform the city. Leveraging on the management’s track record and decades of experience, Astaka secured prime land in the heart of the city, now home to Group’s flagship development, One Bukit Senyum.
The iconic One Bukit Senyum will transform the skyline of Johor Bahru with its elegance and modernity, and is poised to be Johor Bahru’s new central business district when completed. It is comprised of The Astaka @ One Bukit Senyum residential towers, a five-star hotel, branded residences, serviced apartments, an entertainment hub, an office tower, and the headquarters of Johor Bahru’s City Council, Menara MBJB.
Astaka’s second project is Bukit Pelali at Pengerang, a 363-acre Strata Township, located 5km away from the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex in southern Johor. The development will include residential units, shop offices, a clubhouse, hotel, private hospital, mart, school, mosque, food and beverage hub, and petrol station.
Astaka is actively seeking new investment opportunities and potential real estate acquisitions, particularly high-profile or strategically-located land banks, to increase its portfolio of iconic projects across the region.
