Mutiara
Rini is located within the Iskandar Development Region (IDR),
the country's latest growth corridor measuring 2,217 sq.km.
which stretches from Johor Bahru to Senai in the north, the
Port of Tanjung Pelepas in the west and Pasir Gudang in the
east. Mutiara Rini is expected to benefit from the IDR due to
the creation of new jobs and correspondingly, a need for houses
and upgrading by existing homeowners.
The creation of Mutiara Rini's Urban Forest with the assistance
of expertise from the Forest Reserve Institute of Malaysia (FRIM)
features the thematic planting of local species of slow-growing
and long-living trees to create a quality environment with an
ecosystem that will attract wild birds, insects and small animals.
Areas for picnicking and overnight camping are also provided.
Mutiara Rini's house designs feature some of Malaysia's traditional
architecture such as the double pitched roof complete with neat
lattice works and the 'kampong style' long low windows with
horizontal railings fixed across the window. Complementing the
traditional features in the design are the more contemporary
French and Mediterranean features.
