Muara North and Muara South:

Embracing Growthas the New Urban Centreof Kuala Terengganu

Muara North and Muara South represent two arms that embrace and nurture the growth that

distinguishes a new era of prosperity for Kuala Terengganu.

The area where Sungai Terengganu meets the sea has now been fully reclaimed and offers

investors vast opportunities to shape the extended cit y of Kuala Terengganu.

The development in Muara South will ow naturally as an extension to Kuala Terengganu itself and

will ourish as the city’s immediate active commercial waterfront address.

Muara North is positioned as the new gateway to the city, opening up new avenues to establish

a variety of development components covering tourism, commerce, business, education

and entertainment.

To connect Muara North across Sungai Terengganu to Muara South, an iconic drawbridge will be

constructed, creating a distinctive landmark that will establish a seamless connection between the

northern and southern parts of Kuala Terengganu.

There is ample room for future development as investors see the potential to i ntroduce supporting

services to cater to the needs of residents and visitors who will be drawn by the vibrant growth of
