Forest City, a mega project by Chinese developer Country Garden Holdings, started construction at the end of 2013. It currently houses Forest City’s sales gallery, retail space, Marina Hotel, Wedding Square, commercial units, duty-free shops, an international school, and a small office/home office tower offering co-working space.
Pulau Satu will also no longer be part of the principal customs area and will have fewer restrictions for tax permits and applications for the sale of duty-free goods.Last month, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said incentives for the Special Financial Zone in Forest City should be finalised in August.
