ABOUT BRDB

OUR PHILOSOPHY

BRDB's journey of building iconic communities began in 1965 with the launch of its first communities in Bangsar. Over the years, the company has grown to be one of Malaysia's most trusted and respected property brands with businesses in property development, management and property investment.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN

At BRDB we promise that our properties will be distinctive places to live, laugh and lounge with friends and family. So with our ‘Intelligent Design’ pillar, we use our knowledge and expertise to re-conceive both internal and external spaces; fitting them seamlessly around our client’s needs and desires, making all our developments effortlessly simple and comfortable experiences.

UPLIFTING AESTHETICS

Because in architecture, seeing is experiencing, we constantly challenge ourselves to stay at the cutting edge of property design. We believe developments conceived and built with vision, verve and imagination can engage, inspire and uplift those who experience them. That is why our brand pillar ‘Uplifting Aesthetics’ is applied throughout the development process, and to all our designs. It is our intention to develop properties that make our clients feel good when they see them, and that other developers envy.

EMBRACING COSMOPOLITAN

We want BRDB’s developments to lead the industry in Malaysia, and to be amongst the best in the world. So we actively seek out the latest ideas from across the world, and integrate them into our developments. By embracing these new perspectives, our properties encourage the cosmopolitan spirit of curiosity, openness and sociability that is shared by so many of our clients. Our brand pillar ‘Embracing Cosmopolitan’ is the constant reminder to us that it is our mission to embed this spirit into the fabric of our developments.

“We believe in the spirit of differing cultures, uplifting aesthetics and intelligent design that embraces nature…they embody the beautiful life that we try to bring to our creations.”

DATO’ SRI AKBAR KHAN | EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

We invest in our people and we strongly believe that with our highly driven, passionate and talented team, we are committed to the lives that we led in our developments. We offer beautiful quality homes and eventually build communities that will inspire.
