KUALA LUMPUR, 2nd Dec 2023 – Gamuda Land, the property division of Gamuda Bhd, is embarking on a significant venture, investing RM150 million in collaboration with Dusit International to develop Selangor’s first ASAI hotel project in Gamuda Cove.

Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2026, the 280-room ASAI Gamuda Cove hotel will be managed by Dusit Hotels and Resorts, a key player in Thailand’s hotel and property development sector.

With convenient access to Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, and Kuala Lumpur, the township is set to offer a vibrant living experience.
