A high-rise waterfront leisure area with self-proclaimed ambitions to rival Monaco. Alas, reality has not quite lived up to the dream, with many abandoned developments marring the landscape and most shopping malls and apartments rattlingly empty. The waterfront shopping areas are still pleasant enough, and it's conveniently located only about 3 km from Legoland.
The administrative center of the state is meant to be not just a collection of buildings, but rather, to showcase Johor's culture in terms of modern architecture and interior design. The centrepiece is the Johor parliament building, the Sultan Ismail Building, combining Moorish-Andalusian and Johor-Malay style. Visiting the interior of the building is possible by booking a tour via the website. Other attractions are the Chief Minister's office, the Dato’ Jaafar Muhammad Building, inspired by the Alhambra palace in Granada with added Johor-Malay elements, and the Kota Iskandar Mosque. It also features the Mahkota Square.
