12 August 2025
KUALA LUMPUR, 11 AUGUST 2025 – WCT Land Sdn Bhd (WCT Land), the property development and property investment and management division of WCT Land Sdn Bhd announced it has achieved 80% green certification across its ongoing developments (excluding affordable housing), solidifying the company’s commitment to sustainable urban development. “This achievement marks another key milestone for WCT Land as we have pledged to adopt green design principles in urban development as espoused and encouraged by the Malaysian government,” said Chong Wah Hing, Chief Operating Officer – Property Development of WCT Holdings Berhad, in his opening speech at the “Solutions for Sustainability Designed Homes Conference.”
At the conference, WCT Land’s Aras Residences, a freehold, park-front serviced residence located within the 63-acre WCity OUG masterplan in Kuala Lumpur, was presented with the Provisional GreenRE Silver Certification, underscoring the company’s push for environmentally responsible development.
“Aras Residences reflects our focus on building homes that prioritise well-being and environmental responsibility as it strengthens WCT Land’s sustainability agenda and affirms the division’s efforts in integrating energy-efficient design, sustainable building materials and environmentally responsible construction practices.
“It is a proud addition to our list of GreenRE certified projects, which include The Maple Residences, Pavilion Mont’ Kiara, and Adison Serviced Apartments. All these GreenRE certified projects are a testament to our progressive adoption of green design principles in urban development.
“They exemplify WCT’s focus on responsible urbanisation, integrating energy-efficient design and sustainable features while maintaining strong connectivity to Kuala Lumpur’s key transport and lifestyle hubs,” enthused Chong
Aras Residences received the Provisional GreenRE Silver Certification for its energy-efficient features, including solar-ready infrastructure, natural ventilation, rainwater harvesting systems, and energy saving lighting.
The development also incorporates eco-conscious amenities such as EV charger-ready infrastructure and native landscaping. The residences front a lush Central Park and feature over 50 lifestyle facilities, including an Olympic-length infinity pool, an Onsen pool, and landscaped sky terraces
The incorporation of eco-friendly and nature elements demonstrates WCT Land’s approach to responsible urbanisation, where connectivity, comfort, and climate considerations go hand in hand.
Adison Serviced Apartments in W City Larkinton, Johor, for instance, Chong added, recorded an impressive take-up rate of over 95% in Phase 1 and continues to perform strongly for Phase 2 with more than 60% of units taken up to date.
“The demand for green and sustainable homes is increasing, and WCT Land is committed to meeting those needs,” he said.
To celebrate this achievement, WCT Land has strategically partnered with Maybank to provide easy financing access to buyers of its green-certified homes in Malaysia.
Under this initiative, eligible buyers of Aras Residences, Maple Residences and Adison Serviced Apartments can enjoy Maybank Green Home financing offer up to 95%, with an additional 5% financing margin to cover related costs such as legal fees and stamp duties on green-certified homes. In addition, Maybank MyDeco Financing offers up to 30% additional financing, capped at RM250,000, for home enhancements such as interior design, fittings, aesthetics and decoration and furnishings. Combined, this allows buyers to access up to 120% financing, with both conventional and Islamic financing options available, as well as flexible repayment tenures of up to 10 years or until the age of 70.
By extending these sustainable initiatives beyond bricks and mortar, WCT Land is actively shaping a new paradigm for urban living—one where design, technology, and environmental stewardship converge. Through collaborations with forward-thinking financial partners, the company not only redefines modern comforts but also removes barriers for those aspiring to adopt a greener lifestyle.
This collaboration demonstrates how sustainable living can be made more financially accessible to a broader range of Malaysians, underscoring the growing influence of both financial institutions and developers in enabling climate-conscious choices among Malaysian homebuyers.
It also supports the nation’s broader sustainability agenda, particularly the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
