BuildWhat OthersWrote Off
A real estate leader with a record of transforming written-off developments into thriving communities — now at the helm of one of Malaysia's most ambitious private townships.
As Chief Operating Officer of KHK Land, Lorenz Tong leads Anyara Hills — a 584-acre private freehold township set against the Banjaran Titiwangsa, 25 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, where more than 70% of the land is preserved as green space. The development has been recognised by ASIA Records as a landmark master-planned luxury township.
Previously, as Director of Business Development at 168 Park Selayang, he was instrumental in the court-appointed “white knight” revival of the abandoned Selayang Star City — restoring homes to hundreds of stranded purchasers and returning a stalled landmark to its community, with blocks delivered fully sold and ahead of schedule.

Chief Operating Officer, KHK Land
Project — Anyara Hills
Anyara Hills is KHK Land's flagship master-planned township — 584 acres of private freehold land against the world's third-oldest rainforest, with bespoke one-acre bungalow lots and over 70% preserved green space. It is the first residential development in Southeast Asia to integrate helicopter access, alongside a natural hot-spring onsen, clubhouse, and multiple independent security systems.

The white-knight revival of Selayang Star City
Selayang Star City was abandoned in 2016, leaving hundreds of buyers stranded. Appointed white knight by the High Court, the team relaunched it as 168 Park Selayang — a RM945 million development of three residential towers and a community mall. Blocks were delivered fully sold and ahead of schedule, restoring homes to the buyers left behind.
