UEM SUNRISE BERHAD stands as one of Malaysia’s most strategic property developers — a company shaped not just by land, but by national vision.
As the flagship township developer of UEM Group under Khazanah Nasional, its developments are deeply tied to the country’s long-term urban planning and economic transformation.
Its journey reflects a powerful truth — that when development aligns with nation-building, property becomes infrastructure for the future.
Founder:
Formed through the integration of UEM Land and Sunrise Berhad under UEM Group
Current Leadership:
Managing Director / CEO: Shaharul Farez Hassan
The leadership continues to drive large-scale master planning and strategic urban development.
Some developers build projects — UEM SUNRISE builds cities with purpose.
Its origin was not a single founding moment, but a convergence of two distinct legacies — UEM Land, known for large-scale township development, and Sunrise Berhad, recognised for premium urban living.
In 2013, these strengths were unified under a single entity, creating UEM SUNRISE BERHAD.
This was not merely a merger, but a recalibration of direction.
From separate capabilities to integrated vision, from development to master planning.
Anchored by UEM Group’s heritage in national infrastructure, the company inherited a rare combination — scale with intent.
Its developments extended beyond individual projects into entire regions, most notably Iskandar Puteri, envisioned as a major integrated urban corridor in Southeast Asia.
At the same time, it shaped premium urban enclaves such as Mont’Kiara, redefining modern city living.
From merger to master developer, its journey reflects a powerful truth — that when planning precedes building, cities become systems, not just spaces.
