Limited freehold units, strong rental yields and a ready tourist market offer compelling prospects
In the heart of Gohtong Jaya, a new landmark that blends lifestyle, retail and investment is poised to transform the enclave. Dubbed Breeze Hill Shoppes, the commercial component of Tropicana Corporation Bhd’s RM1.4bil integrated development is designed to elevate Gohtong Jaya into a next-generation commercial and leisure hub.
Just 0.5 km from the existing Gohtong Jaya retail belt, Breeze Hill Shoppes complements the area’s well-known dining and neighbourhood scene by introducing a curated selection of modern retail offerings. The development is designed to attract artisanal cafés, boutique stores, specialty bakeries, bubble tea outlets, beauty salons, and healthcare and wellness operators—creating a contemporary retail environment that enhances the overall lifestyle appeal of Breeze Hill and its surroundings.
Occupying 6.76 acres with a gross development value of RM250mil, Breeze Hill Shoppes’ exclusivity and potential for capital appreciation are strengthened by each unit’s design features, a modern twist from the conventional shop lots.
Breeze Hill Shoppes presents a rare chance to own freehold strata retail in a highland destination. Units are priced from RM1.18mil and Tropicana offers end-to-end leasing support to optimise rental returns and ensure occupancy. With the current inventory limited to only 90 units, the window of opportunity is rapidly narrowing.
Choice of practical layouts range from 959 sq ft to 3,470 sq ft to cater to different types of businesses. Units are versatile, suited for various contemporary businesses with wide frontages, double‑frontage options to maximise visibility, practical layouts and impressive ground floor ceiling heights of up to 8m, allowing businesses to create inviting double‑volume interiors and unique brand experiences. Furthermore, dedicated parking facilities and al-fresco atmosphere add to the overall experience, encouraging repeat visits and longer customer dwell times.
Design and sustainability
Beyond form and function, Breeze Hill Shoppes incorporates sustainable building practices. The scheme uses green‑labelled materials, low‑VOC paints, LED lighting and features naturally ventilated and daylighted car parks. Together, these measures lower energy costs and deliver a healthier, more eco-conscious environment for shoppers and tenants.
The facade itself takes inspiration from the undulating contours of the surrounding highlands, reflecting the flow of mountain breezes in its wave-like design. This architectural approach harmonises the development with its misty natural setting while reinforcing the project’s tagline: Breezy Outside, Cosy Inside.
Connectivity and catchment
Breeze Hill Shoppes enjoys excellent connectivity. It is readily reachable from Kuala Lumpur via established road networks and links, making day‑trips from the Klang Valley a genuine possibility.
The development is just 45 km from Kuala Lumpur and is easily reached via major road networks, making it a convenient day-trip destination. Its location near the main Gohtong Jaya roundabout ensures natural visibility and high vehicular traffic.
The project is also just a 20‑minute drive from Resorts World Genting and within easy reach of key attractions such as Genting Highlands Premium Outlets, Awana Skyway, Awana Golf Course and the Chin Swee Temple.
Residences above retail
In blending retail vibrancy with residential convenience, Breeze Hill Shoppes is more than a shopping precinct—it is a catalyst for Gohtong Jaya’s transformation into a modern, commercial hub. For entrepreneurs, investors and residents alike, this development offers the promise of business opportunities, lifestyle convenience and long-term value.
The residential component, Breeze Hill Service Apartments, sits above the shoppes. The two 27‑storey service apartment towers will bring 1,722 fully furnished units with configurations ranging from studios to three-bedroom homes, catering to a mix of homeowners, short-stay guests and investors.
Residents are also offered the option of in-house property management services by T-Journey—the hospitality arm of Tropicana. These residences offer resort-style services and structured property management, ensuring smooth upkeep and an elevated living experience.
This built-in residential catchment forms a natural customer base for the retail component. The result is a vibrant live‑work‑play ecosystem where shops, cafés and services are sustained by the very community that lives just above them.
Breeze Hill Shoppes is targeted for completion by the end of 2028, aligning with a growing trend of domestic tourism and the continued evolution of Genting Highlands as a lifestyle destination. As Malaysia’s highlands transition from a weekend getaway spot into a more robust residential and commercial hub, early investors stand to benefit from both rental income and property appreciation.
This dual appeal—to local residents and to the tourist spillover market—is central to its investment proposition. Genting Bhd’s reports cite that more than 25 million visitors annually enter Genting Highlands and Breeze Hill Shoppes is expected to absorb a slice of that traffic as a highland lifestyle hub.
