ARA DAMANSARA, 18 September 2025 – Sime Darby Property Berhad (“Sime Darby Property” or the “Group”) today introduced its refreshed brand identity, marking a pivotal milestone in the Group’s transformation from a pure-play property developer to a real estate company. The launch was held at the Sime Darby Convention Centre (“SDCC”) and brought together employees, key stakeholders, as well as past leaders and colleagues whose contributions have played a hand in shaping the Sime Darby Property story and legacy.
Sime Darby Property's refreshed brand identity was officially launched today by Dato' Rizal Rickman Ramli, Chairman of Sime Darby Property, (Left) and Dato' Seri Azmir Merican, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sime Darby Property, (Right) marking a pivotal milestone in the Group's transformation from a pure-play property developer to a real estate company. The new logo incorporates an outward-moving form, rooted in purpose and designed to multiply value.
The refresh retains Sime Darby Property’s three strongest brand assets – its name, shield, and heritage red – which carry decades of equity and recognition. What changes is how the brand is presented: a modernised look that underscores the Group’s future-focused strategy while preserving familiarity and trust.
The new logo incorporates an outward-moving form, rooted in purpose and designed to multiply value. Its design draws inspiration from Sime Darby Property’s four TEAM values and their multiplying effect, represented through shades of red and yellow inspired by the Group’s heritage colours. Each colour embodies one of the four pillars of the Group’s Purpose as a Value Multiplier for people, businesses, economies and the planet. This evolution ensures continuity with the past while enhancing resonance with today’s audiences and tomorrow’s generations.
With a legacy that stretches back more than 50 years in property development – and over 200 years through the heritage of Guthrie, Golden Hope, and Sime Darby – the Group has long played a defining role in shaping Malaysia’s townships and communities. From pioneering projects such as Taman Melawati and Subang Jaya, to award-winning townships like Bukit Jelutong and the City of Elmina, Sime Darby Property has delivered more than 100,000 homes across 26 active townships, today serving more than 300,000 Malaysians.
Dato' Rizal Rickman Ramli, Chairman of Sime Darby Property, stated, “This brand refresh reaffirms our identity as a trusted leader and nation-builder. It respects our rich heritage, which
combines the legacies of Guthrie, Golden Hope, and Sime Darby, while positioning us for a future defined by resilience and purpose-driven growth. It is a strategic evolution to ensure we continue delivering sustainable value for all stakeholders.”
The brand refresh also reflects the Group’s strategic priorities under its SHIFT25 strategy which has entered its final phase. This includes strengthening recurring income streams and establishing itself as an Urban Solutions Provider. This direction is already visible in its industrial and logistics portfolio, as well as its entry into the data centre segment at Elmina Business Park.
Dato’ Seri Azmir Merican, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sime Darby Property said, “Our story is rooted in legacy and nation-building, stretching back more than 50 years in property development. From Sime UEP to today’s Sime Darby Property, our DNA has always been about creating townships that endure and communities that thrive.”
“This brand refresh is not about wiping the slate clean – it is about ensuring our brand remains relevant, trusted, and future-ready. By retaining the core elements that hold the strongest equity – our name, our shield, and our colours – we are reaffirming our Purpose: to be a Value Multiplier for people, businesses, economies, and the planet”, he concluded.
The launch event highlighted three chapters – honouring Sime Darby Property’s heritage, reflecting on its transformation, and unveiling a clear vision for the future. Guests revisited the Group’s journey from its early days in Taman Melawati and Subang Jaya, to landmark projects such as Bukit Jelutong, Bandar Bukit Raja, the City of Elmina, and the regeneration of London’s iconic Battersea Power Station.
This brand refresh is a reaffirmation of Sime Darby Property’s role as a trusted leader and nation-builder. By evolving thoughtfully while respecting its heritage, the Group signals its continued drive to deliver sustainable value and shape thriving communities for generations to come.
