Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Main Market Listed Property Developer Paragon Globe Berhad (PGB) held the grand opening of its flagship PGB Experience Gallery Property Showcase on 27th April 2025.
The ceremony was officiated by Mohd Hairi bin Mad Shah, chairman of the Johor State Committee for Youth, Sports, Entrepreneur Development, and Cooperatives, and Dato’ Haji Mohd Haffiz bin Haji Ahmad, Mayor of the Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB). Also in attendance were Dato’ Ir. Haji Hasni bin Mohammad, Johor State Economic and Investment Advisor, and Ng Kuan Khai, Consul-General of Singapore in Johor Bahru.
Key representatives from PGB, including Dato’ Sri Edwin Tan Pei Seng, Executive Chairman; Dato’ Sri Godwin Tan Pei Poh, Group Executive Director; Dato’ Haji Ismail bin Karim, Independent Non-Executive Director and Dato’ Jeffrey Lai Jiun Jye, Non-Independent Non-Executive Director were also present.
Strategically located in Johor Bahru city centre, the gallery marks a significant milestone in PGB’s growth journey and underscores the company’s commitment to sustainable and innovative property developments.
Situated along Taman Century Jalan Seladang, opposite the Grand Paragon Hotel Johor Bahru, the two-storey PGB Experience Gallery occupies 0.55 acres of prime freehold land. Completed within six months at an investment of RM10 million, this contemporary gallery is thoughtfully designed as a versatile and flexible space, ideal for showcasing the diverse range of PGB’s upcoming residential and commercial projects.
“This Experience Gallery is more than just a sales office; it’s a symbol of our ongoing dedication to innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric development. We created this gallery to give our visitors an immersive experience of our upcoming and future projects and reflect our vision for sustainable urban living in Johor Bahru,” said Dato’ Sri Edwin Tan Pei Seng, Executive Chairman of PGB.
The gallery features six fully furnished show units representing two major upcoming high-rise residential projects—Calia Residences and The Iconic.
Calia Residences marks the first phase of PGB’s flagship residential development in the vibrant district of Danga Bay, Johor Bahru. This high-rise development will comprise 1,274 serviced apartment units across two towers, with Tower A’s 637 units slated for launch in June 2025 and expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2029.
Complementing this is The Iconic, an upcoming high-rise residential project strategically located in the heart of Johor Bahru city centre, just minutes from the Johor Bahru Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex. Designed to redefine modern urban living, The Iconic will feature 1,510 serviced apartment units spread across two elegant towers.
“These developments reflect PGB’s unwavering commitment to sustainable and responsible urban growth,” said Edwin Tan adding, “Both Calia Residences and The Iconic have been thoughtfully designed with the goal of achieving GreenRE Gold certification, reinforcing our dedication to energy efficiency, water conservation, and environmental protection.”
“By aligning with MBJB’s sustainable initiative, “Pelan Tindakan Pembangunan Mampan Bandaraya Johor Bahru 2035”, we proudly contribute to the city’s transformation towards a greener, smarter, and more resilient urban centre,” he said.
Looking ahead, PGB is optimistic about Johor’s economic and infrastructure developments, such as the Rapid Transit System (RTS) and the Johor-Singapore Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). These initiatives are expected to stimulate further demand for high-quality residential and commercial spaces.
