Fueling local business growth
Gamuda Land’s Business Get Set, Go Programme is a transformative initiative aimed at fueling the growth of local businesses in its townships.
With a total grant pool of RM1.8mil dedicated to capital expenditure (capex) and rental subsidies, the programme aims to provide vital financial assistance to businesses looking to establish or expand their operations in one of Gamuda Land's diverse townships.
By reducing barriers to entry, the programme makes it easier for businesses to set up stores or operations in prime locations such as Gamuda Cove in Kuala Langat, Gamuda Gardens north of Sungai Buloh, twentyfive.7 south of Kota Kemuning, The Robertson in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, HighPark Suites in Petaling Jaya, GM Klang, GMBB in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur and many more.
This initiative goes beyond simple business support. By helping businesses reduce their initial setup costs, Gamuda Land fosters an environment where local entrepreneurs can thrive.
The programme encourages new ventures while supporting established businesses to grow, creating an ecosystem where businesses, residents and visitors benefit from a thriving, diverse commercial environment.
Local businesses play a significant role in stimulating economic activity within the township, offering products, services and job opportunities that benefit the entire community.
Gamuda Land understands that the success of a business is inextricably linked to the prosperity of the community it serves.
By supporting businesses, the programme helps create a positive feedback loop: thriving businesses lead to more jobs, increased local spending and improved infrastructure, which, in turn, makes the community more attractive to future residents and investors.
Transforming townships
At the core of Gamuda Land’s mission is its commitment to turning its townships into vibrant, experience-driven destinations that go beyond residential spaces.
The programme plays an essential role in this transformation. By investing in local businesses, Gamuda Land is enhancing the overall experience for residents and visitors alike, creating lively, engaging environments where commerce, culture and community come together. This focus on placemaking—a strategy to design and develop public spaces that encourage social interaction—helps build townships that are not just places to live, but places to engage, relax and enjoy life.
Local businesses contribute directly to the atmosphere of each township. From boutique retail stores and artisanal food outlets to service providers and leisure activities, these businesses help shape the overall identity of the township.
Instead of generic shopping malls or chain establishments, Gamuda Land aims to support locally-run ventures that offer unique products, services and experiences, making each township feel authentic and tailored to the needs of its residents.
Whether it's a family-run restaurant, a specialised fitness centre, or a creative studio, the businesses in each township contribute to a diverse, dynamic community where people can connect and engage with their surroundings in meaningful ways.
By prioritising local businesses, the programme ensures that each township is a hub of cultural and economic activity.
The presence of vibrant businesses creates spaces where residents can gather, connect and interact with one another.
Whether enjoying a local meal, attending an event, or simply browsing a unique shop, the businesses supported by this programme help transform everyday life into a rich, immersive experience.
Gardens Square, the first commercial development in Gamuda Gardens, brings the vibrant KL city lifestyle to Klang Valley with its premium two-and three-storey shop lots and offices.
Building sustainable, connected communities
Gamuda Land’s commitment to sustainability is at the heart of the Business Get Set, Go Programme. The initiative is designed not only to support business growth but also to build self-sustaining, connected communities that can thrive in the long term.
By empowering local businesses, Gamuda Land is creating a dynamic ecosystem within each township.
This interconnected network of businesses, residents and public spaces fosters a sense of ownership and pride among the community, ensuring that the townships are resilient and future-ready.
Supporting businesses aligns with Gamuda Land’s broader sustainability goals, ensuring that each township is not only economically viable but also socially and environmentally balanced. Local businesses contribute to sustainability by sourcing products and services locally, reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transport and fostering community pride.
In turn, businesses benefit from being part of a sustainable, interconnected ecosystem that creates opportunities for collaboration, networking and shared growth.
This holistic approach to development ensures that each township is not just a place to live but a thriving, integrated community.
By enabling businesses to grow, Gamuda Land is contributing to the creation of self-sustaining townships where residents, businesses and the environment work together to create a better, more prosperous future.
