Lot C is a mixed use development of a 54-storey tower comprising of offices, service apartments and retail outlets totalling up to 33,900 sq. ft. gross feet area. Located next to Kuala Lumpur City Centre in Kuala Lumpur, the building plan is derived from a triangulated footprint resulting from 3 overlapping circles, inspired by the geometric purity of traditional Islamic patterns.

PTT have a new mate!...

WOW!! very nice !! :eek:

Wow, beautiful design! Perfectly complements the existing four towers at the KLCC development... This one is long overdue!

Btw, when is construction commencing?

Construction started? EDC?

:eek: I've always wondered how tall or how the Lot C building would looks like :eek:

I am a happy person now :D

Lovely addition to KLCC vicinity. Now you guys just have to tear down Wisma Central and replace it with something like this.

hahha....that area needs a 'budget' mall with nice and cheap food. If not the working population there would 'starve' :D

Did ya know that nearly all of the office workers around the KLCC area depends on the food joints and misc shopping at Wisma Central. ;)

ANyway if anyone we're to replace Wisma Central....it should be a replacement instead of something upmarket. Or at least built a budget-class mall nearby. I used to think that Wisma Central is an eye-sore and kinda like a lsoer within that vicinity but I was wrong. The years I spent working around the area made me realised that aesthetics isn't all that important to Wisma Central (although it is of a cutting-edge concept in the 70s) but of its very crucial social role within the KLCC vicinity :)

:eek: I've always wondered how tall or how the Lot C building would looks like :eek:

I am a happy person now :D

Wah Sze Hoong sounds like that tower belongs to him liao :D:D

Wah Sze Hoong sounds like that tower belongs to him liao :D:D


Wah! Not a bad idea! :D

Imagine....Menara SzeHoong. The 54th storey would be my penthouse....the 53rd storey would be an exclusive lounge for SSC members called the Sky Lounge ;)

hahaha.....me still dreaming! :D

Hi all,

Can someone please tell me the website or a link to "The Curve" shopping centre? I can't find it anywhere on google.

Thanks!

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:eek: :eek:

Menara szehoong will be one of my favourite buildings if it is built :happy:

Hmmm... The Curve eh?

Yeah, what actually is their website? Don't seem to hear much about it...

wah!Finally!Great news indeed.thanks for the update.I'll estimate this building around 200-220m high

Somehow this building resembles HK's 7Union Square

Exactly! ust like the Union Square. I bet "Menara Ramlee" is around Empire Tower's height. The rendering is pretty new too as Parkview's construction is there :)
Awesome project! Thanks Nazrey!

Hehe...hopefully will b around there:) Maybe they can name the tower '7 Ramlee Square':P

Hehe...hopefully will b around there:) Maybe they can name the tower '7 Ramlee Square':P


Actually I am not too sure what they would be naming the tower but following KLCC's trend in naming office buildings, they often name their buildings after the anchor tenant like Menara Kembar Petronas, Menara Maxis and Menara ExxonMobil. The previous name for Menara Maxis is Ampang Tower and it is still called Ampang Tower even right after its completion! :eek: Only when Maxis fully moved into the tower they renamed it Menara Maxis ;)

So if SzeHoong Berhad is the anchor tenant of Ramlee Tower, it would be named SzeHoong Tower or any name I choosed :D

wua! another nice design! no official height yet?

sugizm!o r ya!long time no cKinda miss u:D

hi guys...
just came back from India...I was there for a long-long month. India is fast transforming... But tall buildings in KL shot up overnight! I remember during mid-90 Kl was one of fastest growing city in the world. Construction of highrise, highways, malls, cities, condominums, apartments were everywhere..until we almost went bankrupt when the crisis hit us :p..hehe..but we are very amazing people :)
we have near 24 millions malaysian...i predict in the coming next 10 years half of the population live in Klang Valley ...that's included seremban and malaka(if they ever extended the KLIA transit to malaka)..hehe..

wah!! :eek: this iz one gorgeous babe~ :naughty: but... i hav a feelin that... shes kinda... dont fit in well wit the others... well~ maybe she will fit in well when shes build~ yeh~ thats just ma opp~ soo yeh~ i like this baby~ :okay: :okay: 2 hands up from me~

I can see what you mean man, but i think after time she will fit in just fine. I'd like to see what this building will look like at night.

maybe the lighting will b similar to HK's 2IFC:D

sugizm!o r ya!long time no cKinda miss u:D
hehhe u in melaka now? when going back melbourne?

i think she looks abit like that (new one)tall building in Kowloon Hk~ :D

Doesn't look too bad. But I prefer a more angular building, perhaps like empire tower in HK or Bank of America in Charlotte North Carolina. This one too curvy - are they trying to balance out Maxis which is also very curvy?

I very much prefer this design as it's pretty rare! Actually those alike this like the one in Shanghai and HK aren't even built yet :)

Guys, any news on this?

any news on it?

KLCC Property Holdings Bhd (KLCCP) expects to tender out its “Lot C” project, estimated to cost between RM400 million and RM500 million, in the later part of the year, its chief executive officer Datuk Ishak Imam Abas says.

Lot C, which is close to its shopping mall, Suria KLCC, will be developed into a 950,000 sq ft mixed retail-cum-office-cum-serviced apartments, targeted for completion in 2008.

KLCCP owns the Petronas Twin Towers, Suria KLCC, Mandarin Oriental, Menara Maxis, Menara ExxonMobil, Dayabumi and two pieces of vacant land.

Ishak said it would seek negotiations with potential anchor tenants once the plans were finalised.
Meanwhile, Ishak said the company was currently looking at the prospects of acquiring a convention centre comprising Traders Hotel and a hospital, which are currently being built for Petroliam Nasional Bhd.

“It has always been our intention [to buy the assets],” he added. It has been reported that the cost of constructing and equipping the convention centre and hotel was estimated at around RM1.3 billion, while the hospital cost some RM600 million.

Lot C looks small from, say, the KL Tower... But when i walked past it towards Mandarin Oriental, the place is actually quite huge... I think it is equivalent to the land of nearly four bungalows in SS2 where i live!

As for progress, the site is still a sunken grassy piece of land with no signs of any hoarding yet...

Wow, that's a hell damn beautiful addition to the KL skyline, what a landmark!

Any latest update? ;)

Projek bercampur di KLCC


KLCC Property Holdings Bhd (KLCCP) menjangka projek pembangunan bercampur di tapak berhampiran Pusat Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (KLCC) dapat dimulakan Februari tahun depan.

Ketua Eksekutifnya, Datuk Ishak Imam Abbas, berkata projek itu dianggarkan membabitkan RM500 juta dengan 60 hingga 70 peratus kos pembiayaan akan diperoleh menerusi bank dan institusi tempatan.

“Kami boleh dikatakan sudah melepasi isu reka bentuk teknikal ... kami tidak menjangka sebarang masalah daripada pihak berkuasa untuk menimbangkan permohonan bagi arahan pembangunan itu,” katanya pada sidang akhbar selepas mesyuarat agung tahunan (AGM) syarikat itu di Kuala Lumpur, semalam.

Beliau berkata, tender projek pembangunan campur itu belum lagi dikeluarkan.

Menurut laporan tahunan KLCCP, keseluruhan projek itu akan disiapkan pada 2008 dan dimajukan sebagai satu blok menara pembangunan campuran 60 tingkat mengandungi sambungan pusat beli-belah Suria KLCC, ruang pejabat dan pangsapuri lengkap.

Ishak berkata, pembangunan itu sendiri adalah kira-kira 900,000 kaki persegi, mengandungi podium runcitan (130,000 kaki persegi), ruang pejabat (400,000 kaki persegi) dan pangsapuri lengkap.

Beliau berkata, KLCCP mempunyai satu lagi lot kosong di kawasan sama, dan ia masih melihat pilihan untuk pembangunannya.

“Ketika ini, tiada yang tegas lagi. Kami sedang melihat beberapa pilihan untuk mengoptimumkan kegunaannya kerana ia lot terakhir di bahagia hadapan KLCC yang ada bagi pembangunan,” katanya sambil menambah 1.3 juta kaki persegi adalah pembangunan maksimum bagi tanah itu.

Sebagai entiti disenaraikan dalam kumpulan Petronas, katanya, KLCCP tidak kekurangan aset hartanah berpotensi yang dimiliki syarikat dalam Petronas seperti KLCC (Holdings) Bhd dan Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd.

Beliau menegaskan aset yang mungkin boleh dimiliki KLCCP termasuk hartanah di kawasan KLCC seperti Pusat Konvensyen Kuala Lumpur dan dua hotel yang sedang dibina selain pusat beli-belah Alamanda di Putrajaya.

Katanya, KLCCP akan melihat hartanah berkenaan tetapi menegaskan bahawa sebarang janji niaga mestilah pada asas apa yang boleh dipersetujui antara kedua-dua pihak.

Mengenai prospek KLCCP dalam tahun semasa berakhir 31 Mac 2006, katanya KLCCP akan lebih baik daripada apa yang dicapai dalam tahun kewangan 2004/05.

Ditanya mengenai prestasi sahamnya, katanya, ia sejajar unjuran permulaan dan memiliki lebih RM2.00 sesaham, sungguhpun saham itu tidak berganjak pada RM2 untuk beberapa waktu. Saham KLCCP ditutup pada RM2.10 semalam. – Bernama

The retail podium is only 130,000 square feet. How come? I hope this is net lettable space and not the gross space including walkways. Aiyoh why such a small addition only? It will be less than 100 stores. They should build another mall on lot D.

KLCCP's Lot C construction in Feb '06

News (http://www.theedgedaily.com/cms/content.jsp?id=com.tms.cms.article.Article_c9b27cfe-cb73c03a-4fe91e00-45d6657a)



Construction of KLCC Property Holdings Bhd’s (KLCCP) Lot C, a RM500 million mixed-development project in the vicinity of Petronas Twin Tower, is expected to begin in February 2006.

“We have more or less cleared the technical design issues and now we are ready to submit the application for the development order from the authority,” its chief executive officer Datuk Ishak Imam Abas said.

The 900,000 sq ft Lot C development, located next to Mandarin Oriental Hotel, is a 60-storey building comprising a six-storey retail podium, an extension of the retail space in Suria KLCC.

The project, expected to be completed in 2008, will also include a 21-storey office block in the mid-section and a 26-storey serviced apartment in the top section.

Speaking to reporters after the company's AGM In Kuala Lumpur on Aug 18, Ishak said it was looking at financing the project at either a 60:40 or 70:30 debt and equity leverage ratio.

KLCCP reported a pre-tax profit of RM268.14 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. “If no adverse events were to take place from now, we would expect the prospects to be no worse off than what we achieved for (FY) 2004-2005,” Ishak said.

Asked to comment on KLCCP’s share price performance, Ishak said: “It’s very much in line with our initial projection in the sense that we had the expectation right from the very beginning for the share price to perform well above RM2, and it has done so even though initially it remained below RM2 for quite a while.”

Despite being the largest initial public offering in Bursa last year, the company made a subdued debut on Aug 18, 2004, closing at RM1.69, 11 sen lower than the RM1.80 paid by institutional investors under the listing exercise. The share price has picked up slowly since, and closed at RM2.10 on Aug 18.

He added: “From our own point of view, relative to other property companies of the similar nature as KLCCP, I think the company has performed very well.”

Going forward, the overriding factor affecting the company’s revenue prospects is the economic health of the country because the KLCCP's business was dependent on the services industry, Ishak said.

He said the company has not experienced any negative impact from the high crude oil prices or the recent bout of haze.

He said construction of the substructure of Lot C was expected to take six to seven months, while the podium should be completed in another 12 months.

“We are looking at essentially, on the conservative side, rental in the region of RM6 to RM10 per sq ft. The total retail area will be about 130,000 sq ft,” Ishak said.

He said the office space would be about 400,000 sq ft with rental projected to be comparable to that for Menara Maxis and Menara ExxonMobil.

He added that the company has begun talks with Oakwood Asia Pacific, which has been chosen to operate the serviced apartment.

On the progress of the two new hotels in the KLCC vicinity, Ishak said Traders Hotel was in an advanced stage while Impiana@KLCC Hotel was expected to be in business at the end of the year.

Wow, now that's what I call great news. :cheers: :carrot: :soon:

The retail podium is only 130,000 square feet. How come? I hope this is net lettable space and not the gross space including walkways. Aiyoh why such a small addition only? It will be less than 100 stores. They should build another mall on lot D.


The 130,000 would be of retail space ;)

^^ Baqs gonna lov it :lol:

The 900,000 sq ft Lot C development, located next to Mandarin Oriental Hotel, is a 60-storey building comprising a six-storey retail podium, an extension of the retail space in Suria KLCC.

KLCCP To Start Construction On A Mixed Development In February
August 18, 2005 17:56 PM
News (http://bernama.com.my/bernama/v3/news_business.php?id=150893)



KLCC Property Holdings Bhd (KLCCP) expects to start construction works on its mixed development at a site close to the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) in February next year.

The estimated cost at this point of time is around RM500 million, and 60-70 percent of the funding will be raised domestically from the banks or the public," said chief executive officer, Datuk Ishak Imam Abbas at a press conference after the company's annual general meeting.

"We have more or less cleared the technical design issues ... we don't anticipate any problem from the authorities to consider the application for development order," he said, adding that it had not been tendered out yet.

He expects the retail podium, which is intended to be expansion of the existing retailing activities at the Suria KLCC, to be completed within 18-20 months after construction begins.

According to KLCCP's annual report, the entire project would be completed in 2008 and it would be developed as a 60-storey mixed development tower block comprising extension of Suria KLCC shopping centre, office space and service apartments.

The development itself will be about 900,000 sq. ft, comprising retail podium (130,000 sq. ft), office space (400,000 sq. ft) and service apartments, said Ishak.

He said KLCCP has another vacant lot in the same vicinity, and it was still looking at options for development.

"At this moment, nothing is firm yet. We are looking at various options to optimise its use as it is the last lot on the front part of the KLCC available for development," he said, adding that 1.3 million sq ft would be the maximum development for the land.

As a listed entity of the Petronas group, he said KLCCP was not lacking in terms of potential property assets it could acquire from Petronas' companies such as KLCC (Holdings) Bhd and Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd.

He pointed out that possible assets that could be acquired by KLCCP included the properties in KLCC areas such as the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and two hotels under construction, and also the Alamanda shopping centre in Putrajaya.

He said KLCCP will be looking at those properties but stressed that any deal must be on the basis of what could be agreed between the parties. On the prospect for KLCCP in current year ending March 31, 2006, he said if no untoward event took place from now onwards, KLCCP "will be no worse off than what we have achieved in financial year 2004/05".

Asked about the share performance, he said it was in line with KLCCP's initial projection of well above RM2.00 per share, although the shares languished RM2 for a quite a while.

KLCCP shares closed at RM2.10, Thursday.

Better show by developers

By ANGIE NG

PROPERTY companies are announcing bigger earnings during the current financial reporting season, and analysts remain confident of a rosy outlook for some of the better-performing companies.

Based on the year-on-year and quarterly figures, developers of both residential and commercial properties are hauling in better earnings and sales figures.


Menara YNH at Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur, will be ready this year.
Reflecting the strong commercial property market in the Klang Valley, companies with ongoing developments and assets in Kuala Lumpur and the suburban areas are among the star performers this time around.

As for the residential property sector, savvy developers with exciting residential developments catering to niche buyers are among the big winners.

Among those which stand out are KLCC Property Holdings Bhd, SP Setia Bhd, YNH Property Bhd, Sunway City Bhd (SunCity), Sunrise Bhd, and Mah Sing Group Bhd.

Besides impressive portfolios of commercial assets, KLCC Property, YNH Property and SunCity also have residential projects in well sought-after locations, giving it another avenue to boost earnings.

One of the biggest owners of prime office space and other commercial assets in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) address is none other than KLCC Property, which has the much-touted world-class KLCC landmark under its belt.

Comprising the Suria KLCC retail mall, the Twin Towers office blocks, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and Mandarin Oriental Hotel, KLCC Property is set to benefit substantially from the recovering commercial property market.

It is also undertaking a luxury condominium development, The Binjai condominiums (featuring 2,300 to 3,700 sq ft residences), that are fetching premium prices averaging RM1,200 per sq ft.

The company is embarking on a new development on Lot C of KLCC. The one-acre project will comprise a 60-storey tower featuring a six-storey retail podium that will add 180,000 sq ft retail space to Suria KLCC, a 20-storey office block and 22-storey serviced apartments.

The development is earmarked for completion by the third quarter of 2008.

Underpinned by the status of the KLCC as a world-class development, demand for prime office space in the Twin Towers continues to remain robust from multinational corporations (MNCs).

Compared with the average office rental rate of RM4.50 to RM5 per sq ft in the city’s Golden Triangle, MNCs such as Petronas, Exxon-Mobil and Tanjong are willing to pay up to RM10 per sq ft for the KLCC space.

With rental rates for commercial property, especially in the city centre, on the uptrend and expected to remain bullish, KLCC Property’s earnings outlook holds good upside potential.

According to a research filing by ECM Libra Securities, the expiry of the long-term leases for the KLCC office space around 2012 bodes well for KLCC Property, which net up to 60% of its earnings from rental income. “By then, we expect rental rates to have gone twice higher than the locked-in rates before, and a re-rating of the stock would be appropriate,” it said.

Analysts have estimated KLCC Property to turn in a 25% increase in net earnings to RM171.3mil for the financial year ending March 31.

For the first half year ended Sept 30, 2005, KLCC Property’s annualised net profit of RM163.8mil has exceeded consensus and this was attributed largely to the stellar performance of its retail and hotel operations.

Meanwhile, Sitiawan-based YNH Property, through two ongoing developments - Lot 163 Suites in Jalan Perak and Menara YNH along Jalan Sultan Ismail - is another strong player in the buoyant Kuala Lumpur commercial property front.

Lot 163 Suites comprise 26 levels of furnished service suites, two levels of retail podium and a 14-storey office tower with 35,400 sq ft office space, which is for en-bloc sale.

The RM880mil Menara YNH comprises a Grade A office block, two serviced apartment blocks and a 50,000 sq ft retail arcade.

The company is also making inroads into the Klang Valley residential sector with the planned launch of the RM140mil condominium development Radiant Kiara in June.

YNH made a net profit of RM55mil for the year ended Dec 31, 2005, up 43.5% over 2004. Profit margin was slightly stronger at 45.6% compared with 44.9% in 2004, due mainly to a higher commercial component.

Another property company that has recorded quite a stellar performance and is also building up a bigger exposure in the commercial property sector is SunCity.

The company’s ongoing expansion programme to add 700,000 sq ft of net lettable retail space to the 900,000 sq ft Sunway Pyramid shopping mall is set to spruce up earnings from its commercial division going forward.

The RM400mil expansion work is targeted for completion by April next year.

That is water pumping machine..i saw them pump the water from the "pool" after raining..hehe

maybe stat this month.

^^ how i wish it'll start this month! but we never knows.. might start tom! :lol:

I have always wondered what i 'lhttp://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c224/dengilo/new105.jpg l catch if went fishing here!!!

i really thought they have already put in the foundation for this preposed project!

What's with that 'pond'? :eek:

^^ well.. that 'pond' aint look very promissin at all.. tot they've pump the water out..??

suerly there is a reason why the foundation was never put in place!i am sure the planners had some idea what was going to be at lot c!emm has it got to do with the rate of the twin towers settling on its own weight!i dont may be lah i no expert ha ha

KL's gonna get a mini Union Square!!! ^_^ :cool:

Wonder when I can actually see that :D

Dudes... Go to http://www.aqidea.com.my

Click on Projects and roll your mouse pointer on KLCC Lot C project thumbnail.

The design sucks. Totally different than before.

Not sure which one will be chosen. I love the Veritas' version.

It doesn't look too bad. Not sure about the part that's sticking out on the side. I prefer the sleeker design of the veritas version too.

I wonder why constuction has not started yet?

This one is like the glassy version of OUB building in Singapore

Oh my goodness!!! :eek: Aqidea's version looked so totally out of place!

I wouldn't mind the building elsewhere but definitely not at Lot C. Veritas' version is wayyyyyy much better ;)

I wouldn't mind if this building is next to ExxonMobil Tower. Lot C needs something sleek cylindrical shape building.

At least, they should have switched the taller section of the tower closer to the Twin Towers to make the skyline look more coherent.

any construction updates?

oh shit.. different version. i like the previous version.

KLCC Property Holdings expects to start first phase mixed development

Posted by: azida on Thursday, August 18, 2005 - 06:50 PM


Kuala Lumpur - KLCC Property Holdings Berhad expects to start the first phase of mixed development at Lot C, KLCC in February 2006, estimated to cost some RM500 million.

Chief Executive Officer of KLCC Property, Datuk Ishak Imam Abas said, the project plan covers some 900,000 square foot in land area.

The construction will include service apartments and shop lots.

He said this after the annual general meeting of the KLCC Property in Kuala Lumpur.

KLCC property is planning to finance the project through domestic borrowings.

To a question o*n the company's financial performance this year, Datuk Ishak said, that the company will be able to match last year’s financial performance.

The prospect of KLCC property he added will depend o*n the economic growth of Malaysia especially the service industry.

Recycling old news. Now it's already April.

That's y i prefer to put the remark "pic taken on XX/XX/XXXX" on all my pics bcos of:

1) We want to monitor the progress from time to time
2) Dun wan to confuss the visitor especially those not in KL
3) Is good to have proper documentation for all the pictures and article

i wish the Veritas version is built. this one doesn't fit in that area

OMG...it is ''out of shape''..pls i don't want that design to be Lot c..the design is not suiltable to built beside the Twins..

^^ it looks soo.. simple and cheap.. any better render of it? anyway.. i still prefer the Veritas one! :cool:

I don't understand human behaviour. It's obvious the previous design was so much nicer. Why this new ugly design?

THE BUILDING LOOKS LIKE SOME BUILIDING THAT WAS SHAPE BY A MONKEY
THE BUILDING DOESNT LOOK NICE BUT QUITE TALL :guns1: :puke: :dance:

Back to what tomkat said, it's only a proposed design and not sure if the design has been decided. Let's all keep in touch with the news and hope it's the extraordinary one that gets chosen! :cool:

Unfortunately, it is too late. :bash:

I emailed Veritas asking for clarification. And they confirmed that he had lost in the design contest. The client had chosen design by AQidea.

All of us have to learn to love it. :sleepy:

Wahh, really??? .. Why did they chose this ugly design scraper ahhhh :bash: :bash:

OMG!!!! :cry:

WHAT!!!

hope it looks better in real life than the rendering

I guess as a compensation, there is a really nice looking tower coming up in Putrajaya... check on www.aqidea.com.my Kementerian Perumahan dan Desa 4G10... Looks like a galaxy military base :lol:

^^ another 2IFC look alike. it still looks cool though

^^

hope it fix well.Btw, it look so tall from the rendering pic n seem like close 300m

^^ i donno bout u guys but i dont really worry bout tall or short.. if the design turn out crapi.... i just hope that it'll be a beautiful building that will fit in well wit Petronas and KLCC.. and it'll tell people that this is Malaysia when they look at it.. hope for a better render..

How can it actually fit the Lot C? The base looks big! Anyway, is it a triangular-prism one or just like a shoe-box?

Looks similar to Rialto in Melbourne in design

http://www.hotelzasia.com/photoset/webmaster%203/images/Hotelz%20Asia%20Melbourne%20007_JPG.jpg

^^ look at it from those renders.. the design is pretty disappointing.. anyway it'll be even worst if it looks like rialto.. :(

^^ i think even Rialto looks better

i think maybe Veritas put higher price than the alQaeda or something....if that so, it is obvious that malaysian love cheap stuffs

^^
So that round shape tower will not be built? I'm very disappointed. :bleep:

i think maybe Veritas put higher price than the alQaeda or something....if that so, it is obvious that malaysian love cheap stuffs
AQ + Idea does not come out as alQaeda..

^^ maybe the Veritas design cost more to build.. and this one is just simply box wit steel and glass.. simple and meaningless.. nothing sophisticated or special bout it.. cheap to build.. unlike the Veritas one.. but still.. hoping to see a better render of it.. might look better..

I guess the building is square at its base and split into two triangles as it rises up.

The shorter section has shape edges while the taller one has more rounded edges.

We are talking about KLCC, and obviously money should not be an issue to them.

I think the design suits client requirement better. The shorter section must be its service apartment while the taller section is the office tower. This separation would facilitate better traffic flow between office workers and apartment guests.

AQidea was Cesar Pelli's partner for the Twin Towers project. Hope the Lot C design turns out okay.

^^ oh.. dint know that AQidea was Cesar partner for the twin..

the new design actually not too bad la :) at least not white concrete looking.
i hope it can be tallest than previous version.

So which is the tallest condo/apartment now? Is that Queensland Q1 or Pattaya Ocean One or our Four Season??
I think it's Eureka Tower, which is 297.5m to the roof. But that's only until those Dubai residential towers are completed in a couple of years.

Wow....can't wait for that to happen :D

Hey ....last heard this design concept for lot C was rejected by Kuala Lumpur City Centre Berhad and was awarded to cesar pelly (or however you spell his damn name).

Rumour has it ... skyscrapers around klcc (proposal stage) are being re-designed or re-sized to accentuate KLCC's dominance and no other skyscraper, which in design or size if even comes close to challenging KLCC will not be approved by the authorities .... duh....!

Welcome to the forum extintpunk :)
Thanks for the additional information. Yeah I think that this is also the case with the Four Seasons project and the reason why approval is taking so long.

Oh I remember this one. This is the building that resembles The ICC in Kowloon except this one is trangulated.

Oops ...sorry ....didnt realize this forum was 8 pages long ...I only read the first page and posted a reply ...but anyway ... I just hope they dont waste lot C on some mandarin oriental kinda building ....short and useless ...they have other lots on other areas of KL for that kinda buildings ...leave the KLCC area for dominant skyscrapers ...atleast it would improve our skyline ...and somewhere in future it can be compared to New York or Chicago ...

gosh .. Menera TM?? they should have built that around here ..around KLCC... not in pantai ...!!!

Rumours will always be rumours ;)

Thanks fellas ... :-)

Does this rules applied to KLCC vicinity only or the whole of KL ?

The KLCC area only ... i mean, that's why projects at Jalan Binjai, Jln. Yap Kwan Seng (Bolton etc.), Jalan Kia Peng and all have been delayed for so long (all those empty lands currently used as car-parks!) initial proposals had those buildings measuring upto 40 - 50 floors mebbe more ... but they were all forced to scale down ... and in that course of time ...land owners realizing it's taking too long and it's running high on costs decides to sell the land...etc etc ...

Yeah but things change lor.. ParkView has taken away some of Petronas' best angle view and now K-residence is already starting to intimidate. More coming soon! :nuts:

Probably ..but i wonder what all the hype about "the KLCC view" is all about ...how long can you stare at the twin towers from your condo balcony?? well, mebbe for a while ...mebbe!
surprising thing is I get a great view of KLCC from my condo in Maluri and I dont pay my rent in thousands :carrot: hehehe ...well yeah man .. to be ironically honest ...the view never dies on you ...KLCC is a marvel to just look at ...from a distance in the evenings is the best ...

guys sorry for asking it here ....but how do i post a pic ..on the thread? (mebbe i could post a pic of my balcony view of the KLCC area)

KLCCP's Lot C construction in Feb '06
By Cindy Tham, 18 Aug 2005 9:36 PM
News (http://www.theedgedaily.com/cms/content.jsp?id=com.tms.cms.article.Article_c9b27cfe-cb73c03a-4fe91e00-45d6657a)



Construction of KLCC Property Holdings Bhd’s (KLCCP) Lot C, a RM500 million mixed-development project in the vicinity of Petronas Twin Tower, is expected to begin in February 2006.

“We have more or less cleared the technical design issues and now we are ready to submit the application for the development order from the authority,” its chief executive officer Datuk Ishak Imam Abas said.

The 900,000 sq ft Lot C development, located next to Mandarin Oriental Hotel, is a 60-storey building comprising a six-storey retail podium, an extension of the retail space in Suria KLCC.

The project, expected to be completed in 2008, will also include a 21-storey office block in the mid-section and a 26-storey serviced apartment in the top section.

Speaking to reporters after the company's AGM In Kuala Lumpur on Aug 18, Ishak said it was looking at financing the project at either a 60:40 or 70:30 debt and equity leverage ratio.

KLCCP reported a pre-tax profit of RM268.14 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. “If no adverse events were to take place from now, we would expect the prospects to be no worse off than what we achieved for (FY) 2004-2005,” Ishak said.

Asked to comment on KLCCP’s share price performance, Ishak said: “It’s very much in line with our initial projection in the sense that we had the expectation right from the very beginning for the share price to perform well above RM2, and it has done so even though initially it remained below RM2 for quite a while.”

Despite being the largest initial public offering in Bursa last year, the company made a subdued debut on Aug 18, 2004, closing at RM1.69, 11 sen lower than the RM1.80 paid by institutional investors under the listing exercise. The share price has picked up slowly since, and closed at RM2.10 on Aug 18.

He added: “From our own point of view, relative to other property companies of the similar nature as KLCCP, I think the company has performed very well.”

Going forward, the overriding factor affecting the company’s revenue prospects is the economic health of the country because the KLCCP's business was dependent on the services industry, Ishak said.

He said the company has not experienced any negative impact from the high crude oil prices or the recent bout of haze.

He said construction of the substructure of Lot C was expected to take six to seven months, while the podium should be completed in another 12 months.

“We are looking at essentially, on the conservative side, rental in the region of RM6 to RM10 per sq ft. The total retail area will be about 130,000 sq ft,” Ishak said.

He said the office space would be about 400,000 sq ft with rental projected to be comparable to that for Menara Maxis and Menara ExxonMobil.

He added that the company has begun talks with Oakwood Asia Pacific, which has been chosen to operate the serviced apartment.

On the progress of the two new hotels in the KLCC vicinity, Ishak said Traders Hotel was in an advanced stage while Impiana@KLCC Hotel was expected to be in business at the end of the year.

Wow...It's been half a year now. The site must be very busy perhaps above ground already?

It's good to have such a tally office coming up in the heart of downtown!! :okay:

Something is delaying it...not sure what. :?

But since KLCC had finished Traders Hotel and is completing The Binjai, I bet that they would concentrate on Lot C now. At a recent exposition at the KL Convention Ctr, I saw the Veritas model being displayed there ;)

^^ Ohh please please KLCC please please use the Veritas design!!!! :master:

KLCC Property in pursuit of higher revenue
Monday, September 04, 2006
By YVONNE TAN
TheStar


ASSET-RICH property player KLCC Property Holdings Bhd’s (KLCC Prop) focus this year is to increase revenue while simultaneously optimising costs.

Chief executive officer Datuk Ishak Imam Abas said potential revenue could be further realised from rental of office space in Kompleks Dayabumi, Suria KLCC Retail Mall and the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur.

''Initiatives on cost optimisation meanwhile, are ongoing,'' he told StarBiz in an email interview.

The company, which has a strong asset base, is the owner of eight properties.

They are the Petronas Twin Towers, Menara ExxonMobil, Menara Maxis, Suria KLCC, Mandarin Oriental, Kompleks Dayabumi, a vacant land known as Lot D1 and another vacant land currently being developed as Lot C.

The company recently announced its results for the first quarter ended June 30, reporting a net profit of RM42.2mil on revenue of RM190mil, compared with a net profit of RM37.1mil on revenue of RM187mil a year earlier.

Pre-tax profit for the first quarter was RM94.2mil as opposed to RM91.6mil in the same period a year ago, while earnings per share stood at 4.52 sen versus 3.97 sen.

Commenting on the company’s first-quarter performance, Ishak said: ''The increases in both revenue and profit before tax were mainly contributed by higher revenue from car parks, the retail mall and hotel.''

He said efforts were also being carried out to achieve the company’s cost-optimising objectives. ''This includes strategic management activities focusing on our core business, smart partnering with service providers and outsourcing.

''Additionally, we have gone through many years of facility maintenance (such as electricity) and with that experience we can plan our maintenance activities to make them more cost-efficient,'' he said.

On plans for new acquisitions or investments, Ishak said there would be no new asset purchases for the time being. The company’s newest investment is Lot C, a vacant land measuring 4,302 sq m located at Lot 171, Seksyen 58 in Kuala Lumpur.

''The lot is to be developed into a 60-storey building comprising a seven-storey retail podium, 21-storey office block and 32-storey serviced apartments,'' said Ishak.

He said the substructure work would commence next month with the whole project expected to be completed by 2010.

On the outlook for the property sector in general, Ishak said: ''There is still a growing demand for Class A office buildings. Serviced apartments, however, seem to be experiencing a slowdown.''

As for the retail sector, Ishak said competition was becoming increasingly intense as more malls were being constructed and many having similar types of outlets.

''Location is still the key factor for all properties. For retail malls – easy accessibility and security – are some plus points that can edge out competitors.

''As for hotels, the level of service provided is still the prime factor in ensuring success,'' Ishak said, adding that the company had no plans for any foreign investments for the time being.

Meanwhile, an analyst with a local bank-backed brokerage said KLCC Property offered good growth potential to investors.

''Visit Malaysia 2007 is the catalyst for the counter moving forward,'' he said

He noted that companies involved in retail and hotel sectors such as KLCC Property were expected to receive a boost in view of the anticipated increase in tourist arrivals next year.

The analyst has an ''outperform'' call on the stock.

Great news, finally work starts. :)

i was thinking the same thing too...if dua kali..:ohno:

i was thinking the same thing too...if dua kali..:ohno:

Nothing wrong with that. Foundation design depends on building design especially the weight.

I doubt that in 1992 or 93 when the Twin Towers were designed, the designer had known how Lot C building would be.

The last thing we want is a faulty foundation design.

^^ totally agree.

i like tis lot c..boxy highrise for KL skyline :horse: ..
it will balance with PTT and 4 season centres sharp edge design.

Lets pray they will give slight modification to the latest design.Hoping for it to be less boxy

hopefully aqieda will upgrade their website n show more details about lot c project.

waaaahhh u can see the scale model of "the exact" lot C building on Man Made Marvels Petronas Towers on Discovery channel (2006 production).... during the interview with Arlida Ariff, Director of KLCC Urusharta. :)

By far it was best PTT documentary ... featuring the original design of skybridge, some "never seen b4" construction footage, interview with pelli, some original bluebrint, what inspired pelli for the pinnacle design as it was not on the original plan, building maintanance and etc :)

^^ Yep, saw the documentary yesterday. It was really very good. So many issues relating to the design and construction of the buildings were highlighted. Makes me appreciate the towers even more.

Yeah looks like the lot C design is going to be the boxy design, but I'm not complaining though. I think KL could do with a few more tall boxes :)

yeah..saw that document too as well..accidentally after the Amazing Race Asia. Yes. thought unrelated..both Malaysian team came at number 2 n 3 :banana:

any rendering of the project at the site??
