Colmar Tropicale

<h2 id="berjaya-corporation-berhad">Berjaya Corporation Berhad</h2>
<p>Colmar Tropicale is developed by one of Malaysia's largest conglomerates Berjaya Corporations. The idea of this village came from when Malaysia's then-Prime Minister <a href="/facts/Mahathir_Mohamad/9tCfj47B">Mahathir Mohamad</a> was visiting a town called Colmar in Alsace, France and was captivated by the environment and aesthetics of the town. He later returned and convinced <a href="/facts/Vincent_Tan/BsQrbtMU">Vincent Tan</a>, the founder of <a href="/facts/Berjaya_Corporation/2X0X9I1e">Berjaya Corporations</a> to develop this town as part of Mahathir's wishlist.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a>
</p><p>Hence, the Bukit Tinggi Resort Project was started. Now known as Berjaya Hills since its opening in 2000. Till today it is still in development as per a recent interview between Vincent Tan and the <a href="/facts/New_Straits_Times/1fFDwXnP">New Straits Times</a>, an estimated development value of RM 900 million is to be reached with the development of a further 3000 landed homes under Berjaya Hills. Stretching across 16,000 acres (6,500 ha) of highlands. He also said that this effort is made to spark development of a commercial centre at Berjaya Hills for more convivence for residents with the added help of the attraction of the Colmar Tropicale.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a>
