Qualampur: KL Wellness City (KLWC), a three-in-one project, including medical/healthcare, property and medical tourism, is ready for kick-start operation in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The much awaited project will strengthen its role as a destination of health and lifestyle prepared for the future with a new phase of development, which directly addresses the growing demand for wellness-centered homes and facilities operated by Malaysia’s aging population, and the importance on medical and health services.
Since Malaysia falls in a position to aging continuously by 2030, more than 15% of the population is expected to be 60 and above, healthcare developers are rethinking the traditional concept of the house.
KLWC Director Datuk Seri Dr. Vincent Teev said that the company is eating for this development with its latest residential offerings of sets to launch in May, which will include more lustful, welfare-focused units, which not only meet individuals or nuclear families, but require families that require easily available medical and health services at the next door.
“There is definitely a demand for more huge welfare residences. From our smallest units, like a studio apartment, it is designed for hotel-room standards, we already looked at the increasing interest in search of more flexibility than buyers. Imagination of property investment arising from this township, only a property-equipped property can not be wrong to be completely altitude.
“So we also introduced the option to add units, allowing a studio plus studio combination that seems big and more functional,” he said that he said that Sunbiz,
The Tiew said the demand continues what the traditional residential layout can offer.
“As a result, the new launch will include units starting 500 sq ft and above, the families moving forward will be able to live with privacy and freedom with a large degree under a roof.
“In a traditional project, units of 800 to 900 square feet are usually configured as three-bedroom units. But for us, we do not hurry to squeeze into the bedroom.
He said, “Our three-bedroom units and dual-key format can be introduced, only 1,600 square feet, which ensure vast, vibrant houses that reflect a real welfare lifestyle,” he said.
These houses are ideal for elderly parents or families with adult children who prefer to live near, but not necessarily within the same unit, Tiv said. “The approach accepts the dynamics of the modern family, especially in urban settings, where personal privacy and comfort are equally valuable with closeness.”
The Tiew said that the core of the vision of KLWC is followed by the principles of the wellness real estate (Wre), including a concept that is gaining rapid traction globally, but is still in its early stages in Southeast Asia.
“KLWC was designed from the ground with health and well-being, unlike the events of typical mixed-utilization developed over time.
He said, “Wre has been defined as a township by the Global Wellness Institute in the United States, which is carefully and purposefully master-employed from a day. It is not a later. It includes everything, from design and planning to ecology to integration and material selection,” they explained.
The Tiew said that KLWC expands more than 26.5 acres, and includes essential welfare and healthcare components such as tertiary hospitals, medical suits, expert clinics, research centers, retirement houses, retail shops, office places and short and long -term houses.
“We believe that we are the only development in Malaysia that are currently applying Wre in a broad manner. Our project is a long-term response to future health and living needs–only in Malaysia, but in Southeast Asia,” he said.
The Tiew said the project aims to support the change of the region towards the aging population, especially in countries such as Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia, where similar demographic patterns are emerging.
KLWC’s Healthcare Vision has been further enhanced by the increasing success of Malaysia in medical tourism.
He said, “Malaysia is still a global leader in attracting foreign health care passengers. We pursue other regional players like Thailand and Singapore in volume, and our health services are distributed at a very low cost, which are between 30% and 70% without compromising on quality.”
The KLWC aims to capitalize on this growth through the launch of the KL International III Hospital (KLIH), which is scheduled to complete at the end of 2026.
“Tertiary facility will offer up to 1,000 beds and designed especially keeping international patients in mind. Our hospital is being built to attract patients around the world, especially from Indonesia, Singapore and China, our low-cut fruit markets.
He said, “From there, we will continue to expand our outreach in Bangladesh, Cambodia and Brunei and even countries like Europe and the Middle East.”
Beyond the cost competition, Tiew said, “Malaysia benefits from cultural familiarity with its multilingual health professionals, internationally recognized hospitals and patients from various fields, including people from Muslim-dominated countries.”
Looking forward, Tiew said that KLWC is already preparing for its next phase of development.
“In the next 12 months, the team will focus on finalizing the structural perfection of KLIH and applying for a full license, with the target of opening by the fourth quarter of 2026.
He said, “KLWC is also applying to install a roof helipad in its upcoming hospital, which aims to support emergency medical withdrawal and high-insurance matters from neighboring countries such as Indonesia and Singapore, which has further strengthened our status in the regional health care travel market market.”
Over the next five years, Tiew said, KLWC plans to expand its integrated wellness township model in Southeast Asia and regularly expand.
He said, “While another potential local location is being considered, the international markets are focusing huge. Once KLIH is operational, we intend to find out opportunities to set up a similar welfare township abroad, convert KLWC into a regional brand and hospital group,” he said.
