KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia,&nbsp;April 17, 2023 - Eastern &amp; Oriental Berhad (E&amp;O), the premier lifestyle property developer, has released "Human Living",&nbsp;a digital documentary series that offers valuable insights and perspectives from some of the country's brilliant thinkers, entrepreneurs and artists in rethinking where and how we live.

The 3-episode series, which will be released monthly on YouTube starting&nbsp;5 April 2023, imagines the future of our cities through veritable topics such as 'Social &amp; Cultural Capital', '15-Minute City', and 'Secondary City Boom'.&nbsp;It will feature E&amp;O's diverse developments from Conlay and The Peak in&nbsp;Kuala Lumpur, to Avira in&nbsp;Medini Iskandar,&nbsp;Johor, and The Meg and Arica on the much-anticipated prime reclaimed island, Andaman in&nbsp;Penang.

"With over 20 years of experience in creating notable addresses in&nbsp;Penang,&nbsp;Kuala Lumpur&nbsp;and&nbsp;Johor, we are proud to see the evolution of our sophisticated clientele," says&nbsp;Emily Teh, Director, Project and Property Investments, E&amp;O Group. "Today's homebuyer is urbane, they are thinking beyond themselves and their families, considering their role in a community–from cradle to care, to how their neighbourhood can enhance their quality of life from a safety, convenience, health and mental wellbeing standpoints. Most importantly, they are looking to navigate in and out of work and play seamlessly … to fully enjoy every second of life."

In&nbsp;Episode 1, delve into what makes cities rich in culture, such as&nbsp;Penang,&nbsp;Kuala Lumpur, and&nbsp;Johor, desirable destinations for 'Social &amp; Cultural Capital'&nbsp;and what draws the creative class to live in these cities. "When we think about the emergence of a dynamic, new art scene, we see that it often follows on from a period of great change," says&nbsp;Zena Khan, curator of The AFK Collection. "In Malaysia today, we are undergoing a period of great growth and change. We've gone from being a newly post-colonial society, mainly agrarian and a little bit quiet, to being this really dynamic independent nation."&nbsp; The episode also features&nbsp;George Town-based artist,&nbsp;Thomas Powell, and his wife,&nbsp;Pei Shern,&nbsp;founder of batik wearables brand, betterthanblouses, and&nbsp;Koh Chin Hong,&nbsp;chef and owner of Initial 初 in Johor Bahru.

The pandemic has also inevitably shifted our priorities.&nbsp;Episode 2&nbsp;explores the innovative and sustainable urban model&nbsp;'15-Minute City'&nbsp;that re-imagines the future of cities. This episode beckons us to rethink a world where we are able to avoid long commutes to make time to reconnect with one another and nature.

"Rewilding the city is a growing trend; it's about biophilia … it's about trying to get urban folks like us to live a bit more harmoniously with nature," says&nbsp;Ng Seksan, the veritable landscape architect and head gardener at Kebun-Kebun Bangsar. "A slow city is what we are really aiming for in the future in a lot of progressive cities." The episode also features&nbsp;Jenn Low,&nbsp;founder and managing director of Wanderlust+Co and GDP Architect's&nbsp;Naqib Shariff.

Episode 3&nbsp;on&nbsp;'Secondary City Boom'&nbsp;explores how the shift to work-from-home modalities has opened up new possibilities for homebuyers looking to live outside of the big city and into properties that are larger and closer to nature, yet still affordable for a better quality of life.

"Penang&nbsp;is really conducive for art because there's really a 'Malaysia Boleh' attitude here. Not to mention that&nbsp;Penang&nbsp;is a port city, you can get anything in&nbsp;Penang&nbsp;… it's really within arm's reach," says&nbsp;George Town-based artist,&nbsp;Sheena Liam. "Cost of living also comes into play; I don't think I'll be able to maintain my studio practice at the level that I'm operating at, anywhere else in the world, except&nbsp;Penang."

Episode 3&nbsp;features Editor-in-chief, Tatler Homes Malaysia,&nbsp;Jennifer Choo, and her husband&nbsp;Marc Naidu,&nbsp;an entrepreneur–both based in&nbsp;Johor, as well as&nbsp;Loo Yi&nbsp;and&nbsp;Loo Ping,&nbsp;owner and operators of Fuku Eatery &amp; Desserts in&nbsp;Penang.

In Kuala Lumpur, E&O's landmark properties include The Mews, St Mary Residences, Dua Residency, Idamansara and Seventy Damansara, all located in the most prime and prestigious neighbourhoods of the capital city. Currently in development are The Peak in Damansara Heights and Conlay in Kuala Lumpur city centre.

In Penang, the award-winning Seri Tanjung Pinang (STP) development is the island's first masterplanned seafront development that has now become a thriving community to locals as well as expatriates from over 30 nationalities. Following the successful delivery of STP, E&O has gone on to introduce Andaman where its maiden launch in 2022, The Meg, was very well-received, and fully taken up by the first quarter of 2023. Andaman's on-going reclamation project, which will eventually comprise 760 acres, promises to be an urban island just off the coast of Gurney Wharf and STP.

In Johor's southern development corridor of Iskandar Malaysia, also in development is Avira, a 34-acre intimately sized township development amidst green spaces with clubhouse facilities within Bandar Medini Iskandar that boasts easy accessibility to the Second Link connection to Singapore. 

Across the seas, E&O's international foray into real estate investment and development is focused within prime locations in London, including Princes House along Kingsway, ESCA House in Bayswater, and a commercial property in Hammersmith.

E&O's leading position as a lifestyle developer is anchored by its niche in luxury hospitality derived from its namesake, the iconic Eastern & Oriental Hotel, a cherished heritage landmark in George Town established in 1885.
