Amber Court

Amber Court Villa D'Genting Resort is an apartment complex in Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia.

[3][4] In 1990 Giant Bay acquired the bankrupt company Techlines Corp Sdn Bhd that owned the land surrounding SamaWorld.

Giant Bay (Malaysia) under president Richard J. Leibel[8] was responsible for the residential and commercial development around SamaWorld.

Planned were 688 individually owned apartments of various sizes (number later increased) with hotel-service to generate income for investors.

Villa Genting Development got into a legal dispute with the construction company Teknik Cekap Sdn Bhd.

A variety of recreation and conferencing facilities such as a sauna, gymnasium, indoor games room, conference halls (Cassa, Victoria, Jasmin and Camilla rooms), banquet halls, and a restaurant (Paloma Garden Cafe) were offered, and a free shuttle service to Genting Bus Terminal was provided.

Due to the financial crisis, some owners could not pay for service and maintenance which made the place difficult to manage.

The wet and foggy climate in Genting Highlands promoted the growth of red-colored algae or mold on the facade.

Because of new development projects in Genting Highlands, owners rented out their units to companies which accommodated foreign workers in Amber Court.

[28] The remote location, illegal activities, security issues, rooftop/pipe leaks, and difficulties in water supply contributed to the decline of Amber Court.

[33] Billion Court could not be finished because of the Asian Financial Crisis, and Villa Genting Properties was included in the Malaysian blacklist for developers involved in abandoned projects.

[34] In 2012, the NCT Group took over the project that was inactive since 2002, and developed the site with the Ion Delemen high-rise complex.

Road leading to Amber Court and Ion Delemen in 2016. The number on the mechanical penthouse is the old resort phone number.
