KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 20): Gamuda Land’s GL Business Get Set Go initiative, which has attracted more than 100 business applications since the campaign launched on Nov 25 last year, is set to continue.

“Seeing the overwhelming response, the initiative will continue, with more recipients and opportunities to be announced in the coming months,” the property arm of Gamuda Bhd said in a statement released on Thursday.

The GL Business Get Set Go programme offers financial support, including capital expenditure grants and rental subsidies, with a total grant pool of RM1.8 million, to help small businesses establish and grow within the developer’s townships.

The first group of grant recipients will expand their businesses to multiple locations, including Quayside Mall at twentyfive7, and the upcoming Townsquare Lifestyle Retail at Gamuda Cove and Gardens Square at Gamuda Gardens.

Gamuda Land chief operating officer Wong Siew Lee said, “This initiative is a three-way win: for us as a developer, our townships thrive with the right mix of commercial businesses; for the community, it means enjoying retail conveniences within walking distance; and for local businesses, it’s an opportunity to grow and expand with the right support.”

According to the statement, Townsquare Lifestyle Retail at Gamuda Cove, and Gardens Square at Gamuda Gardens are scheduled to open in 2Q2025, with a tenant mix including food and beverage (F&B) outlets and essential services, and will comprise brands such as ASAI Hotel by the Dusit Group, Taylor’s Education Group, Jaya Grocer, Star Grocer, Global Art, Big Apple EduWorld, ZUS Coffee, llaollao, 7 Café, ChaTraMue, Gigi Coffee, Caring Pharmacy, Yilo Restaurant & Bar, and Old Town White Coffee.

It highlighted that accessibility at Gamuda Cove will improve with the two-kilometre toll-free Cyberjaya Link that is set to open in August this year, and that the township is projected to attract two million visitors annually.

Gardens Square at Gamuda Gardens is expected to draw one million annual visitors, while Quayside Mall at twentyfive7 continues to attract 600,000 visitors monthly, it added.

“By investing in local businesses, we’re not just building commercial spaces — we’re creating experiences and fostering economic growth,” Wong added.
