JYSigma Business Consultancy and Asia Vision Capital Announce Strategic Partnership for Landmark Shariah-Compliant Property Investment in Johor Bahru

Johor Bahru, Malaysia – June 6, 2025 – In a major move that signals rising interest in ethical real estate investing, JYSigma Business Consultancy (JBC) has officially announced a landmark partnership with Asia Vision Capital Sdn. Bhd. (AVC), a licensed venture capital management corporation regulated by the Securities Commission Malaysia. The collaboration marks JBC’s entry into Shariah-compliant private equity, with its debut fund anchored by the prestigious Quayside JBCC development in Johor Bahru.

The strategic announcement has been featured in top-tier financial media, including Business Insider and Yahoo Finance, solidifying the partnership’s significance in both local and regional investment circles.

JYSigma Business Consultancy, a strategic advisory firm operating in both Singapore and Malaysia, leads the initiative alongside Asia Vision Capital, a Shariah-compliant investment manager. The collaboration is further backed by Bangsar Heights Pavilion (BHP), an award-winning Malaysian property developer with over RM5 billion in gross development value (GDV) and a 30-year legacy.

At the core of this partnership is the Quayside JBCC development, a RM600 million integrated project located in Johor Bahru City Centre. Positioned next to the Johor-Singapore Causeway, the project features branded hotels including Hyatt Place and Oakwood, serviced residences, retail outlets, and a rooftop dining experience.

The investment vehicle is structured as a Shariah-compliant, closed-end private equity fund lodged with the Securities Commission Malaysia. The fund complies with Islamic investment principles and is advised by Tawafuq Consultancy, ensuring ethical deployment of capital and alignment with market demand for halal investment products.

The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) took place at the BHP office in Johor Bahru, with senior representatives from all three organizations in attendance. Another signing was also held at AVC’s headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

The partnership comes at a pivotal time for Johor Bahru, a city expected to benefit significantly from upcoming catalysts such as the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and the Rapid Transit System (RTS) link, projected to open in 2026. These infrastructure developments are poised to elevate Quayside JBCC’s value and enhance its appeal to both domestic and international investors.

The development has already earned recognition at major industry awards, including:

‍

• Best Branded Residential Development (Asia)
• Best Mixed-Use Development (Malaysia)
• Best Designed Development (Malaysia)
  – all presented at the PropertyGuru Asia Awards Malaysia 2024, in partnership with iProperty.

It also received honors at the ASEAN Property Developer Awards and the StarProperty Awards 2024, reinforcing its standing as a premium investment-grade asset.
