KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 5): Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Bhd (EXIM Bank) has extended a US$70 million Islamic Overseas Investment Financing facility to Berjaya Okinawa Investment (S) Pte Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Berjaya Land Bhd, to support the development of the prestigious Four Seasons Resort & Private Residences Okinawa, Japan (Four Seasons Okinawa).
According to a media release by Berjaya Land, the project is led by Berjaya Okinawa Invest TMK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Berjaya Okinawa Investment (S) Pte Ltd, serving as the project developer responsible for the overall planning and execution of Four Seasons Okinawa.
Berjaya Land previously delivered the Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, one of Japan’s most prestigious hospitality developments. The Kyoto property has received multiple international accolades.
“The same core construction team behind the Kyoto success is now being mobilised for the Okinawa project,” stated Berjaya Land.
Spanning 32 acres of beachfront, the Four Seasons Okinawa will offer 279 accommodations, including 127 resort rooms, 124 high-end condominiums, and 28 exclusive private villas.
Main construction is in progress and completion is expected in July 2027 followed by a three-month hotel pre-opening phase with a projected gross development value of US$1.12 billion.
The partnership between EXIM Bank and Berjaya Group spans over a decade, beginning in 2010. Over the years, EXIM Bank has supported two major overseas projects.
“This initiative underscores EXIM Bank’s strategic commitment to supporting Malaysian investments abroad, particularly in established and high-potential markets.
“The Four Seasons Okinawa project exemplifies the Bank’s mission to promote Malaysia’s global footprint and elevate the presence of Malaysian enterprises on the international stage,” stated Berjaya Land.
“Looking ahead, EXIM Bank will continue to leverage its strategic financing programs to support the growth of Malaysian businesses abroad. This includes initiatives such as the RM500 million Skim Eksport Lonjakan (EXL), aimed at scaling up Malaysian exporters, and the Malaysia Global Connect (MGC) Go Export Cover Program, which provides protection for businesses expanding into strategic international markets.
“Both schemes were announced under the Budget 2026. These efforts aim to accelerate private sector investment and enhance Malaysia’s presence in non-traditional markets,” it added.
