He added that financial institutions, health clinics, fire stations, police stations and mosques would also be built near the residential areas.
"The first phase involves the construction of around 3,000 residential units and a vertical school, expected to be completed and fully operational by the end of 2027.
"The design of the mosque and school will feature local cultural elements, in line with efforts to preserve architecture and heritage.
"I hope the plans proceed smoothly and can be implemented effectively for the benefit of the community," he said through an entry on X, today.
Meanwhile, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa, through a separate post on X said that the Kota Madani project, covering 41.28 hectares, would provide 10,000 residential units to accommodate over 30,000 residents.
The development will adopt a high-density vertical design.

"This is a long-term strategic investment to shape Putrajaya as a model city that reflects Madani values and aligns with the vision of Bandar Chase," she said.
The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled to take place on June 26.
