Corporate Overview
Founded in 2013, Aspen Group (AG) started out as a visionary idea. Borne out of the desire to build quality affordable homes with comprehensive facilities to elevate the standard of living, especially among firsttime home buyers. Within 5 years of its inception, the Group has notched an impressive range of milestones, which includes its listing on the Singapore Exchange in July 2017 with a market capital of more than RM600 million.

Dato Murly Manokharan, the founder of AG has successfully and progressively spearheaded breakthrough concepts and created many firsts in the real estate industry. Under his intuitive and dynamic leadership, AG is today a name to be reckoned with, in the local and regional property arena.

Strategic Collaborations
Aspen Vision City (AVC), the Group’s flagship project is a 245-acre freehold mixed development located in Bandar Cassia, Batu Kawan. A joint-partnership mega project with IKEA Southeast Asia, AVC is slated at a gross development value of over RM10 billion. To date, the Group has launched over RM2.17 billion of properties. Aspen Vision City will feature the first IKEA Store and a state-of the-art regional integrated shopping centre in the Northern region of Peninsular Malaysia.

Intelligently Integrated
Located at Penang’s third satellite city - Batu Kawan, Aspen Vision City is integrated with first class infrastructure and amenities including the RM1.6 billion Penang Second Bridge.

Its eclectic development components range from:

  • Luxurious designer homes – Viluxe Designer Bungalows
  • Gated and Guarded Central Business District – Vervea Commercial Precinct
  • Resort inspired condominium – Vertu Resort
  • Mixed development- Vogue Lifestyle Residence, Hotel and Offices
  • Medical centre and healthcare services– Columbia Asia Medical Centre
  • Office towers and financial hub - Vittoria Financial Centre
  • Business class hotel
  • Service apartments
  • International school
  • 25-acres Central Island Park and a regional transport hub

Expanding Presence
AG has transformed the development landscape on Penang Island with its iconic projects that have exceeded a total gross development value of over RM1.27 billion. A distinguishing AG brainchild development and the first private-initiative affordable housing project on the Island is The Tri Pinnacle. Other ground-breaking projects are its SOHO-concept suites with top-notch sky facilities - Beacon Executive Suites and a bespoke luxury lifestyle residence – HH Park Residence.

Customer-Centric
AG’s customer-centric business model is the dynamic core that drives its business operations. In every project that AG conceptualizes and develops, be it an affordable housing scheme, or its technologically-progressive financial hub, the desires, needs and preferences of its purchasers are profiled and prioritized.

Smart Services
With foresight that technology will play an integral role in the way people live, work and play, AG is ahead of the curve in integrating technological solutions and smart services in all its projects. The Group is elbow-deep into the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) and is abreast in seeking innovative and intelligent ways to enhance lives, through its developments and community projects.

Early this year, AG successfully organised a hackathon to merge technology and art. As a result, an entrepreneurship program was rolled out for the winners who were given the opportunity to develop their ideas and elevate the art scene in Penang through technology.

The availability and integration of telecommunications and connectivity services, as well as ICT and Internet of Things (IoT) into its property developments and township, will enable AG to deliver an enhanced digital lifestyle to Malaysians. By infusing intelligence through smart solutions and innovative services, Aspen Group also aspires to bring unprecedented smart infrastructure and services for the masses.

Prestigious Partnerships
Aspen Group also established a partnership with Oxley Holdings Limited (“Oxley”), a Singaporean property developer who has a significant global presence in the property industry. This strategic partnership is expected to forge a long-term and exponential growth curve. The Group believes the synergy between Aspen Group and Oxley will unlock opportunities as both entities collaborate to cross market each other’s property developments and co-invest in suitable property developments in the region.

AG has also partnered with Telekom Malaysia Berhad, to provide the required infrastructure to ensure high speed internet bandwidth and advanced infrastructure when its projects are completed and delivered to purchasers. The Group is also collaborating with LG Electronics Inc. to provide the latest in technology solutions, Internet of Things (IoT) enabled platform and innovative products and services for all of its real estate developments.

People Powered
AG believes that the success of its customer-centric business model is vested in a dynamic and supportive team of people. The Group nurtures a corporate culture that not only hires the best but retains and develops its people to maximise their potential. This is the key to encourage and propel the AG team to act boldly and to make smart decisions towards achieving the corporate mission and goals.

Great importance is placed on a well-balanced lifestyle of work and recreation. Confirmed employees are entitled to free gym memberships. An inhouse “Fun & Break Club” organises monthly activities such as cycling, bowling, hiking, badminton tournament and etc to cultivate healthy practices.

Leadership programmes, training, and improvement seminars with the objective to encourage individual skill and talent development is an important charter in the company’s continuing development of its people.

AG exceeded and surpassed the employee expectations of a benevolent employer. Its significant contribution allows new mothers 3 months maternity leave with an option to extend to 4 months to facilitate adaptability towards motherhood! New fathers are also entitled to enjoy 1-month paternity leave, to support their wife and spend time with their new-borns during this very meaningful stage of life.

Future Focused
Having made an indelible mark in the northern region, the Group’s success has strategically positioned it to take on new territories and ventures. AG is now poised to make definitive inroads and become a significant presence in the Klang Valley and various other areas as well as in Southeast Asia.
