The hospital, to be called Gleneagles Medini Hospital, will be built on a 6ha site that Pantai is buying.
The land is in the mixed development area of Medini, Iskandar, the group said in a statement yesterday. It said Gleneagles Medini Hospital will be jointly developed with Global Capital & Development Sdn Bhd (GCD).
An agreement was signed between GCD, a consortium led by Mubadala Development, and Pantai's wholly-owned Pantai Hospital Johor Sdn Bhd.
"This development will set new benchmarks for quality healthcare to reinforce Malaysia's capacity in delivering world-class medical services to both Malaysians and foreign partners," Pantai chairman Khairil Anuar Abdullah said in the statement.
The healthcare complex will eventually comprise a 300-bed private tertiary hospital and a 150-suite medical office block with centres of excellence.
GCD chief executive Keith Martin said the group is proud to be working with Pantai. "The high standards set by Pantai are aligned with GCD's vision to ensure the best in planning, design and management within Medini."
