From construction expertise to award-winning property development, PMHB champions innovation, sustainability and family-centric living
Founded in 1996 as a humble subcontractor, Pesona Metro Holdings Bhd (PMHB) has evolved into an award-winning, Main Market Bursa Malaysia-listed powerhouse (since 2012). Operating across three core segments – Construction, Concessionaires and Property Development– PMHB leverages its CIDB Grade 7 (G7) license and multi-disciplinary ISO certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001) to set industry benchmarks in quality, safety and environmental, social and governance (ESG) integration.
By combining Industrialised Building System technology with Building Information Modelling, PMHB drives digital transformation across iconic developments such as Menara Technip, Menara TNB Gold and Menara FINAS. Building on decades of construction mastery, PMHB expanded into property development in 2023 under its core vision: Premium Homes for All.
Through flagship residential developments including Residensi Aman Bukit Jalil, REN Residence and Residensi Aman Madani, PMHB has earned top industry accolades. These include the FIABCI Malaysia Property Award, The Edge Property Excellence Award and the StarProperty Real Estate Developer Award, culminating in the prestigious Rising Star Award at the Malaysia Developer Awards 2026.
PMHB exemplifies the true spirit of a Rising Star in Malaysia’s property development landscape. By transitioning seamlessly from a premier G7 contractor into an award-winning property developer, the company brings a rare combination of construction mastery, digital efficiency and deep human-centric design.
Through benchmark QLASSIC quality execution, pioneering ESG practices and flagship human-first developments like REN Residence, PMHB proves that high-end living and accessible quality can coexist. PMHB managing director Wie Hock Beng notes that our transformation from a main contractor into an award-winning developer is built on a single commitment: delivering Premium Homes for All.
“Winning The Rising Star Award is not just a recognition of our past construction capabilities but a validation of our vision to build sustainable, human-centric communities where every Malaysian family can thrive,” he added. Beyond its portfolio of developments and industry accolades, PMHB’s continued growth is supported by three pillars of organisational strength: leadership and sustainable growth, talent development and workforce competency and organisational and digital excellence. Together, these priorities guide the Group’s business expansion, operational performance and long-term competitiveness.
