Andaman Island is being reclaimed by local developer Eastern and Oriental Berhad as an integrated mixed-use precinct with a gross development value of RM17 billion.[4] Phase 1 of the reclamation project was completed in 2019, paving the way for the construction of The Meg and Arica, the first residential properties on the islet.[1] As of 2023, the islet is connected to Tanjong Pinang via a road bridge, while a second bridge between the islet and Gurney Drive is under construction.[5]

In 2024, Eastern and Oriental Berhad unveiled a RM60 billion masterplan that encompasses three segments of the island the Shoreline, Gurney Green and the Canalside. Development of these segments is projected to be completed by 2030.[6] Proposals have also been made to designate Andaman Island as a special economic zone.[7]
