Gerbang Nusajaya is a township in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, Malaysia.[1] The site is the second phase of development of Iskandar Puteri and is being developed over a 25-year period by Malaysian firm UEM Sunrise Berhad.[2]

Major projects in Gerbang Nusajaya include a Science park, a motorsports hub, and mixed commercial and residential properties.

The development is expected to house a population of 220,000 and to create 76,000 direct and 137,000 indirect jobs.[1] The proposed Kuala Lumpur–Singapore high-speed rail Iskandar Puteri HSR Station will be built here.
