Ms. Leny Suparman tells a detailed and absorbing story of KOP Limited, and how it is developing into a fascinating constellation

That One Particular Star
Ms. Leny Suparman, group CEO and executive director of KOP Limited, still gets excited about the prospect of launching a new project. She has delivered gilded apartments and swanky resorts with her friend and business partner Ms. Ong Chih Ching since they got into property development around 2006, but she appears to have no difficulty reliving the magic of the first time.

On a sunny weekday morning at Montigo Resorts Nongsa, KOP’s family-oriented getaway on Batam Island in Indonesia, she talks excitedly about KOP’s latest venture, Wintastar Shanghai, an integrated resort built around what would be the world’s largest indoor ski and snow park, with retail and F&B outlets, water park, entertainment areas, spa, and hotels.

The components of the resort will be managed by different entities, Ms. Suparman explains; Majid Al Futtaim, the Emirati operator of Ski Dubai, will operate the 90,000 square-meter Ski & Snow Park, comprising slopes for both advanced and leisure skiers, as well as several snow play areas. Montigo Resorts, KOP’s hospitality brand, will manage the four themed hotels which will offer a combined accommodation of over 1,000 guest rooms. The multi million renminbi project is slated to open in 2022, and will occupy a gross floor area of 227,000 square meters.

Although the magnitude of the project cannot be disregarded, the seamless integration of various components, the development of themes, and their articulation in various facilities are highly valuable draws of the integrated resort. From ski schools to themed hotels, all the way to ski-in-ski-out hotels access and apreski, the integrated resort is aimed at providing an immersive experience as well as developing modern ski culture in China.
