The scale of the project is dizzying. Country Garden's Forest City in Malaysia, on four artificial islands, will house 700,000 people on an area four times the size of New York's Central Park. It will have office towers, parks, hotels, shopping malls and an international school, all draped with greenery. Construction began in February 2016.
Strategically located adjacent to the economic powerhouse of Singapore, Forest City is a new global cluster of commerce and culture. Designed to cultivate a live/work lifestyle, it is comprised of financial institutions, technology and biotech research facilities, and a variety of creative industries that will establish an innovative and sustainable employment base providing an estimated 220,000 new jobs in southern Malaysia.
The entire city is full of vertical greeneries, sky gardens and rooftop garden system, forming a natural barrier, low energy consumption, air purifying, conservation rainwater, reduced noise and others. It feels like living in the forest.
Ferco was been selected to provide a seating solution for an 800 seat auditorium in the heart of Forest City. Shattuck-St Mary's, one of the top ten boarding schools in the USA, opened its doors in 2018. As the spectacular site opens, they bring 150 years of expertise in education from their home in Minnesota, USA.
The school campus in Forest City offers a diverse array of facilities to support academic, athletic and artistic pursuits.
