RM24mil facelift for Wisma Lee Rubber


By Johnni Wong


TOUTED as Kuala Lumpur’s first high-rise office tower when it was completed in 1980, Wisma Lee Rubber in Jalan Melaka, Kuala Lumpur is being upgraded and refurbished at a cost of RM24mil.

The 18-month project, to start in January next year, will provide 20,801 sq m of gross floor area with a net lettable area of 12,077 sq m. The upgraded 29-storey building, owned by the Lee Rubber group, will offer office and retail space.

The management had planned the exercise ahead of the relocation of its anchor tenant, OCBC Bank (M) Bhd. OCBC Bank recently moved to its own Menara OCBC, which is scheduled to be opened by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today.

Incidentally, the major shareholder of both Lee Rubber and OCBC Bank is the family of the late Singaporean tycoon and philanthropist Lee Kong Chian.

According to Lee Foundation financial controller and director Lee Seng Chuan, the Lee Rubber group continues to show confidence in Malaysia by investing in the refurbishment of Wisma Lee Rubber.

“We are also building two new rubber processing factories in Kedah and Kelantan, each costing around RM40mil. Furthermore, we are building a hypermarket or a supermarket in Segamat, Malacca and Batu Pahat, with each structure costing RM20mil,” Lee said.

“Lee Rubber Co (Pte) Ltd started business in Muar, Johor, in 1927. At the time, Malaya and Singapore were considered one country and our philosophy has always been to treat our operations as one, even though accounting procedures have to be separated,'' he said. “Therefore, in this period of doldrums in the economy, we are committing ourselves to invest more in Malaysia.”

Lee noted that the refurbishment exercise, together with the new OCBC Bank headquarters in the vicinity, would help accelerate urban rejuvenation in the area.

Wisma Lee Rubber eventually will be equipped with amenities such as 24-hour concierge service, enhanced security and even a “street-side” café.

The new architectural design by Veritas Architects Sdn Bhd will continue the “modern simplicity” of the original building.

According to architect Azril Azmi Jaafar, the office tower will be re-finished with a glass-and-stainless steel curtain wall. The design with vertical stainless steel sun-shading fins against a fully glazed façade will create a soaring visual effect to accentuate the height of the building.

At night, the top floors when lit are designed as a light box creating a distinctive light sculpture that will appear to glow from afar.

At the street level, the former car porch will be extended with a dramatic glass canopy to create a sheltered semi-outdoor verandah space with a sidewalk café to encourage more activities in the area beyond office hours.

Can't wait to see this one coming to life :D
Wonder how it will be, beside, the size of the car porch area is not that big.

[QUOTE=alsen;14387222]which one bangunan datuk zainal and who's datuk zainal? never heard before. :?

bangunan datuk zainal is an old building rite behind wisma lee rubber and next to that building with the roof which looks like minangkabau heh. if i can remember correctly, its about 20 storey tall, white color, tinted window, and wide. it is no longer known as bangunan datuk zainal, but now bangunan MNA??? btw, datuk zainal is the father of the late tan sri zain azrai, (details at http://myperwakilan.kln.gov.my/am/newyork/unPermanent.htm) zain azrai brother has a law firm known as zain and co.

nazrey. the question mark in the picture you put is actually the new bukit aman logistic department building which is under construction. i forgot how tall it is going to be but i think its more then 20 storey.

this is about corporate image....having a grand building also reflects their profile....

so,if 'giving' cannot be used...then?

^^ When u said, "we gave them", they gave us" it has such inuendo already... you are not just pointing to OCBC but Singaporean as a whole and KL/Malaysia as a whole.

Plus, if it is a corporate image and they pay money to build it rightfully, then so be it because that's their corporate identity and there's nothing we can do about it but to say it's ugly lor. Maybank Tower looks good in Singapore and that's their blessings and of course, bravo to Maybank. But then again, there will be people who thinks the building is ugly and imagine they say, "wah, such an ugly building from Malaysia. They gave us this piece of crap". :| :|

i must say this is looking more and more gorgeous. it's amazing how they've managed to transform it from the old and dirty building into this glassy and glowing tower. great job!

Well, one building in that cluster in nazrey's pix @ post #127 is already renovated (and a very nice job of modernizing an old-timer!)... The next one is the Hamzah KH Building (red block opposite HSBC)... Any1 has pix or started a thread on that building's re-cladding project?

A transformation of KL from 1970 to present viewed through the Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad:

1. Circa 1970 - no highrise in the background
2. Circa 1980 - some highrise in the background; Wisma Lee Rubber under construction
3. 2006 - Lotsa new highrise + KL Tower in the backgroud; Wisma Lee Rubber undergoing a facelift
4. 2008 - A new, modern outlook of Wisma Lee Rubber

^^ i think the river area is not that bad hey.. its just hard to renovate it because i've heard some guys here said bout floats and stuff.. we have discussed this before... the only thing can be done (in my oppinion) is that the streets round the river gets some sort of nice pave walkways and plants.. if they hav'nt done it yet that is..
