What kind of building would you like to see to be built in Lot D (in front of Mandarin Oriental)? Please tell the type of architectural that you would like to see...

I for one, would love to see a smaller version of Skyneedle - squarish version of the Twin Towers. After all, the Twin Towers are the direct descendant of the Skyneedle. 350 meter building would do. It would give a perfect balance to the skyline..

Please tell your architectural preference for this building....

Hey tomkat,I've similar opinion with you;) the PTTs need a similar designed sibling.And they must not be taller than them

Wow. The footing is quite big....

^^ Yes....the carpark area ;)

So..when is the construction going to start ;)

How about zoo complex???..hehehe just kidding :)

a small icon cultural institution..like modern arts (Tate gallery or Guggennheim museum), modern library etc
or huge landscape green bamboo gardens with water, rocks and no flowers.
Good feng shui :)

and an underpass shopping mall link to KL pavillion.

I think the underpass shopin complex will be a good idea.Similar to Singapore's city link

I prefer a building similar to Jean Nouvel's extension of Reina Sofia in Madrid :D

KLCCP to develop last strategic area

BY SUSAN TAM


Datuk Ishak Imam Abas
KLCC Property Holdings Bhd (KLCCP) intends to develop a maximum 1.3 million sq feet of its last strategic area – Lot D – after studying ways to optimise land use.

Without revealing Lot D’s gross development value (GDV), chief executive officer Datuk Ishak Imam Abas said the area was strategic as it was located in front of KLCCP’s five-star Mandarin Oriental hotel.

Its GDV is dependent on the quality and functionalities of the buildings to be built on it, he told reporters after the company AGM in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

Ishak said the Lot C development was on track with construction scheduled to start in February and completion of the first phase expected to be 18 months later. This expansion, estimated at about RM500mil, consists of three phases.

The first, known as the Podium, is a six-storey expansion of the existing shopping mall, Suria KLCC. The second is a 21-storey office block while the final phase consists of 26-storey service apartments.

The potential revenue from this expansion comes up to a maximum of RM1.3mil in rental from the mall and RM4mil from the office building, depending on the tenancy arrangements. These figures are derived from possible rental rates ranging from RM6 to RM10 per square foot.

Oakwood International Ltd has been selected to operate the service apartments.

Financing for this expansion will either be based on a 60:40 or 70:30 ratio, with the larger percentage of funding to be made up of debt and the remaining, equity or internally-generate funds.

:weirdo: can't see any progress at the site.

so now Lot C constc has began, i believe something tall n iconic must be come up in Lot D.

at this time the area is closed off but it seems that it is being used as project site office for the suria expansion...I am referring to the plot infront of Mandarin, also another small area beside the hotel valet carpark is closed off as another site office

19-07-2007: KLCC Property to focus on existing locations

Email us your feedback at fd@bizedge.com

KLCC Property Holdings Bhd will concentrate on extracting value from its existing properties in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) vicinity, as well as on developing new parcels of land around the area in a bid to sustain growth for the company.

The property developer intends to capitalise on the high demand for office space in Kuala Lumpur by increasing rentals. The company boasts a portfolio of premium developments, including the Petronas Twin Towers, Menara Maxis, Menara ExxonMobil, Dayabumi, Suria KLCC and Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

"The buoyant economic growth is also supporting demand for office space. Going ahead we see rates firming up if the economy continues to be buoyant," the company's chief executive officer Datuk Nasarudin Md Idris told reporters after the AGM here yesterday.

The Petronas Twin Towers, a prime address and national landmark, commands some of the highest rental rates in the city. The two towers are on a triple-net lease to Petronas and rentals are reviewed every three years. The last increase took place last year.

"We have room to also improve on our hotel business by increasing occupancy as well as average room rates," said Nasarudin, adding that room rates at the Mandarin Oriental averaged RM512.70 last year, with an occupancy rate of 79 %.

He said the company had no plans to sell any of its prime location properties or expand into other areas outside the KLCC vicinity, as there was still much to be done to develop the current site.

The company is currently developing a parcel of land known as Lot C into a 59-storey office block to complement the adjacent Petronas Twin Towers.

Nasarudin said structural work was currently being carried out on-site but declined to disclose the value or cost of the project. However, he said the company was approaching Petronas to be the anchor tenant. The project is expected to be completed by 2010.

"Besides that, we also have another parcel of land called Lot D. That's something we need to think about in terms of what kind of development we want to have there," he added. The company is also considering acquisitions but there are no immediate plans.

For the financial year ended March 31, 2007, KLCC Property Holdings posted a net profit of RM2 billion against RM117.34 million previously, due to the fair value adjustment of investment property following the adoption of Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) 140. Revenue for the period grew to RM780.75 million compared to RM748.25 million posted in 2006.

Maybe first finish Lot C and Binjai before they should muse on Lot D:bash:

Yalah. Binjai shouldve been completed and I couldve woke up with my klcc by now! :D

i want this tower on lot D :D

Em, as this is the last strategic area, they should do something unique, say, a skyscraper and clad it with LED screen, to make it stand out among KLCC buildings....

Agree with you. And make it 900 meter tall:lol: .

lol lets copy NYC times square!!

KLCC is not like bukit bintang....LED billboards doesn't suit PTT.

it can.. but not too extreme like time square in new york.. location like infront of suria will be great.. not too many lah.. just a few will do! i think..

any plan to remove some old building at BB and replace with tallers, to put up LED screen? Yeah, facing the Suria will be great, ppl hang out there, good for ad.

I think putting up some eye pleasers at KLCC park would be a great idea!

Yes..yes..I agree with you 100%
They should put some contemporary arts at the KLCC Park and the rest of KL
centre.

^^ yup! get the people into a art mode! good place to showcase arts round the world! and to understand more bout other cultures through arts in our already diverse society! :cool:

I agree, KLCC area should have more public buildings like library, art gallery and perhaps some small museum. Tourists actually go to these places...and very educational for Malaysians especially the throngs of small cute school and kindergarten kids visiting KLCC:) . The Petrosains,for example, is frequented by tourists too and from reading some travelblog of tourists who did so, they enjoy it very much.

^^ men.. u guys hav very good ideas! if only those ideas can become reality! wow! klcc could become one of asia major cultural and art center! :cool:

me...it sure would be nice if we have a art musuem there like Louvre Pyramid in paris.:)

http://www.longpassages.org/images/France%20Paris%20Louvre%20pyramid%20outside.jpg

^^ hah! if klcc were to hav a art museum like this.. i'll prefer a dome design or somethin fresh, modern and hip! :cool:

dome? got too many dome already la.

How bout some statues??? or is there too many statues already ?? But then again, statues are too boring in my opinion.

^^ err.. statue of wat.. we dont hav any heroes or sports heroes.. yeh i got one! the malaysian soccer team! :lol:

KLCC does have art gallery(Galeri Petronas) at 4th floor...and Kinokuniya is considered 'library' already:D (free reading, what?)

How bout some statues??? or is there too many statues already ?? But then again, statues are too boring in my opinion.

statue? not likely as malaysia is a muslim majority country. so, statue is 'prohibited'

that's why malaysia only has 'tugu negara' as the only one statue....

KLCC does have art gallery(Galeri Petronas) at 4th floor...and Kinokuniya is considered 'library' already:D (free reading, what?)

Haha..only Malaysians go for free reading...mat salleh ni conscious..download anime/movie pun tak nak....lagila baca buku free kat bookshop.I still think that a library should be there, coz the place is very strategi...they can transfer books from the National Library 'yang tak laku'.Sometimes I think that some floors of the PT should be converted into libraries..haha..godd what.

Anyway, good there's actually an art gallery,I didn't know that :bash: .

About the museum thingy, the museums in Malaysia could temporarily place their exhibit or import exhibit from overseas to be dispalyed at the KLCC convention centre :) ..this would be more feasible and interesting...at least can see different things from time to time. This has been done in Adelaide, where the art gallery 'yang tak laku' temporarily house some Egyptian artifacts...and people flocked to it.

i suggest KL to have contemporary art musem(open for international design competition)...but KLCC is pretty packed already...

So easy ah? You thought suggest to your own mother ah?

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1408/885525889_543a043f98_b.jpg

Or place contemporary arts like this^^ (example) in parks, walkways, squares etc around KL:banana:
imagine if arts like this around KLCC parks and around KL...:banana:
ps: Thx for the pic Nazrey:)

any news or updates regarding Lot D?

Wait until the lot c finish first.

Lot D is at the moment a storage location for Lot C..
But the new DBKL building would this be build on Lot D soon or do we have to wait until Lot C finishes?
Lot D has the perfect shape for this DBKL tower and it would look very nice not blocking any major tower behind it.

Hi, does anyone have any latest news about when Tiffani by I-Zen will be completed, any new photos of the project, cheers T

Long-term growth from Lot C and Lot D1

KLCCP’s development plans for Lot C with a net lettable area of 0.16 million sq ft of retail space and 0.74 million sq ft of office space, will raise its total net lettable area by 16%. The new retail space will first come on-stream by end-2008, followed by the offices by end-2009. Full impact on earnings from Lot C hence is expected by FYE Mar-10E estimated at M$24 million per annum (13% of FY07E profits).

Management indicates that there is a firm interest for 80% of the new office space from a single customer at premium rental rates of 50% to the market. KLCCP may look to sell the remaining 20% of the office space, and if this materializes it will raise an estimated M$144 million (M$0.11/share), which will help reduce FY09E net gearing from 56% to 51%. Total development cost for Lot C is M$500 million. Beyond FY10, growth will come from Lot D1, where there are still no details on development plans. However, in our RNAV, we have assumed the development potential and cost for Lot D1 is similar to Lot C, although the former sits on a larger piece of land at 1.41 acres versus the latter’s 1.01 acres.

Nice find, mate. Anythg todo with harrods london?

Harrods lot C? Is it C or D? I don't think harrods will open in KL. If Debenhams cannot survive, how can Harrods. In the meantime, Lot C remains a big hole. Almost 1 year of korek korek, still no progress at all. Crazy!

dont like both rendering. so ugly.

wat?
Harrods will be unbelievable. and why Lot C...

The pic says Lot C, but location of this rendering is more like Lot D to me. :ohno:

I think its D or E if any.

I think this is older. Marc is not even u/c in the pic. Probably located where One KL is now.

I think this is older. Marc is not even u/c in the pic. Probably located where One KL is now.

it's correct, it is in Lot D, not the the ONE KL site...

Harrods already has their store in KLIA, and i believe Al-Fayed has a big interest in Malaysia...

btw, a classic architecture suits Harrods granduer image...:okay:

Nazrey, its at lot D. Your circled mark is on the right onekl..those shaded trees in a very small plot of land.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/tyfong55/P1040381.jpg

Just hope it would be happen in any lot :lol:
Of coz KLCC still got many lots!

Let hope it ll never get build because its super ugly.

It's too short also tot...

never mind it short but the looks is the most important thing->>

Is it really ugly for you...at least it will fit it up klcc SKY-line!
what about the 1st rendering if it 'll get build!

^^ average... but yeh.. it is bit ugly or you can call it "binja-ish" :lol:
it will benefit the skyline but were hoping for something better..

the 2nd rendering just like Harrod of KL at sometime..

^^ i really hope thats not the only 2 renders the developer hav in mind.. hope they go for a better design->>

Nazrey, its at lot D. Your circled mark is on the right onekl..those shaded trees in a very small plot of land.

the circled mark is a DBKL tree reserve area. not going to have any development anytime soon unless they re-gazette the place, which i think will face opposition from rich apartment owners from onekl.

Kinda agree with u. I dont think developers r aiming at that small plot for the moment. But the next cycle, another 10 yrs perhaps may not going to see this land survive as it now.

so dey proposed a srv aptmt at Lot D huh??

Lot D1 plans not concrete yet. Initially, the site was earmarked for service residences. However, KLCCP stated plans still fluid and is dependent on
market demand. We think firmer plans likely made known closer to completion of Lot C as more cash-flow will be available for Lot D1 developments.
Tunnel link between Lot C and Lot D1 on the way. The tenders have been recently awarded (main contractors are Daewoo) with estimated March 2011 completion. Contract size is >RM30m.

that is prime land.

slim and tall building (5+ storey) is just ok.

Not to mention how poor traffic flow is already in the area - Jalan Pinang is simply not built to handle the density there, which is another example of bad urban planning.

the tunnel link is completed with a new fountain.

http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu302/f338/df4c9d2b.jpg

thx for the update James. And wau didnt know there's so much difference in that area in such short of a period.

James, do you like the new fountain? I find it too "fabricated" and doesnt tell a story.

the fountain not very beautiful fr my oppinion, anyhow what r they constructed beside the fountain?

water fountain is just temporary i think they are going to build residence & hotels office mix next year if i'm not mistaken , the water fountain is actually very easy to dismantle .

today updates

No. the fountain n the tunnel link are permanent.

Isn't that a waste of land space for such prime area??

xlah..ok jer...shanghai area pudong yg sesak pon ade space untuk dataran,new york pon ada times square tgk pencakar lagi,itu yg kl kurang,square dan ruang pejalan kaki yg sempit...tp fountain tu mmg xcantik..mcm old style..

Kinda a relieve to me that they are not going to construct any building there. I think the land is too small for any decent skyscraper.

the fountain is nt pretty but i like the idea of adapting water elements in the city...chic!!!

Another KLCC Prop mixed project in the works
By Presenna Nambiar Published: 2011/07/21
http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/pklcc-2/Article/index_html

Kuala Lumpur: With the completion of Lot C by the end of this year, KLCC Property Holdings Bhd will be looking at the development of Lot D1, another 0.6ha plot of land adjacent to Hotel Mandarin Oriental.

A development plan for the area is only expected to be finalised in about a year.

"As usual, this is a mixed development and the trend for us is to have a mixed component of retail and service apartment or retail and office, depending on the demand at that time," its chief executive officer Hashim Wahir said after KLCC Property's annual general meeting yesterday.

As part of its risk management measures, KLCC Property only begins building once tenancy and clients for a development have been firmed up.

KLCC Property expects to complete the development of the office tower in Lot C year-end.

Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), which will be the sole tenant of the office tower with a net lettable area of 840,000 square feet (sq ft), is likely to move in early 2012. The tower will be known as Petronas Tower 3.

The retail component of the development has already been handed over to Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd and some 22 tenants have already signed up.

Full occupancy of the 140,000sq ft net lettable area is likely by September this year.

The retail and office components of the development are set to contribute about RM100 million a year to the group once fully occupied.

KLCC Property is also undertaking a refurbishment exercise of Menara Dayabumi, a 26-year-old and 36-storey office building. Between RM30 million and RM40 million will be spent for the two-stage refurbishment work which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Another plan in the works is the redevelopment of City Point, a six-storey office-cum-retail-podium annexed to Menara Dayabumi.

"We hope to redevelop it to have additional office space and make the retail space more exciting," Hashim said.

Lot D1 land area is pretty small, dont think it will be a supertall..

Lot D1 land area is pretty small, dont think it will be a supertall..

lot C land area size is 1 acres. lot d land size (from parking lot next to MO until infront of one kl) is 1.5 acres.

building a 60-80 story towers is very much possible.

true. in dubai, a smaller plot land of 0.8 acres can fit a 120-storey residential tower (pentominium).

yes you'll be surprised how many floors or spaces you can add for tiny little land , when there's a will(money) there's a way for it .In HK some of the building is truly spectacular on very tiny plot of land.

they can make ultra luxury condo,1floor,one home.

why they dint make it supertall?

Next to PTT, how to be too tall? Unless it hits the 350m mark, so as not to overshadow its glamorous neighbor!

And only the runner-up design is shown, what about the one that won the contest?

This is the runner up for a competition. In the competition, winner is another project for another country.

So this might be the final design if KLCC prop decide to use it.

You mean the Lot K expansion?

If so, I still think each of Mid Valley Megamall and Sunway Pyramid (after Expansion 3) is bigger.

I would love to see a mall in Lot D joined up with Lot C/Ramlee Expansion (just opened) + Suria KLCC + Lot K Expansion.

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 22): KLCC PROPERTY HOLDINGS BHD [] and Qatari Investment Authority will undertake to build two towers to be built next to the Petronas Twin Towers.

"The two blocks -- an office tower and a hotel -- will sit on a four-storey podium retail block which will be integrated with the present four-storey retail mall," said Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd at the company's Media Day on Tuesday.

It said the development will be completed by 2015 and is expected to attract more local and international visitors to the mall.
It's integrated right..^^

I was thinking different mall. But they are all under KLCCP. So i believe it will be integrated like the LOT C's mall.

Although the new Lot K is designed to be integrated to Suria KLCC, I really hope this Qatari/KLCC venture will be a standalone mall with different name, different theme and different management. Just like the Four Seasons Place (if it gets build at all)...

It wont be an expansion but ll be connected.

they had secretly completed a tunnel from lot C to D in front of the M.O hotel.

Curious on how they link it? From the Convention Center tunnel?

Curious on how they link it? From the Convention Center tunnel?

the tunnel is multi-level, connected to Lot C concourse (besides RHB bank) and parking level.

Can someone post a master plan or mapping that point out which plot is Lot D? I still don't get it. I googled it and look into another KLCC thread but all are too low resolution to actually close up identification of each lot...

Brannix... Last year KLCC Holdings went into Joint Venture with Sapura Resources right?

That piece of land I believe is no.1 - Lot D??

ohh ya.. forgotten bout this.. lot k might be able to over take them on start date depending on the "highly efficient" team.. but surely.. by the time ppl move into Tree of Life, they can still see lot k under construction.

oh ya.. that was for i think 1/2 or 3/4.. forgotten..

one of the 3/4 belongs to ananda though

According to the picture shown (by Brannix), Lot D is the Mandarin Oriental.

Lot D1 is the upcoming one. :)

Really can't find the thread for this...

here's a news article in 2011 >>> http://www.theedgeproperty.com/news-a-views/7833-sapura-resources-in-klcc-development.html

I think it was formerly the DBKL hq land? It will compliment Lot D1?

7.6k sqm land?
hrmm.. need to realign my memory

Guys i have created invidual threads for different parcels...Since this thread is for Lot D1. :)

Just a quick update not sure if this is the right thread. Last friday the last tree was pulled down and the site next to the new Hyatt has all been prepared.

Re the fountain in front of the MO, what a crock of Shitte, I mean what wrong with a simple fountain, why have a tacky karoke bar disco effect. Its already broken, a number of the jets and led lamps are busted, no doubt a cheap China made system was installed so there was cash left for those brown paper envelopes.

KLCC Property Holdings aims to be No. 1 on REIT




It sees potential in redeveloping some of its assets

http://biz.thestar.com.my/archives/2013/4/9/business/KLCCP-Wahir-reit-b2.JPG
Growth plan: Hashim (left) and Manharlal speaking to reporters at the EGM. The group has a three-pronged approach for expansion. On the left is Chairman of KLCC Property Krishnan CK Menon.



PETALING JAYA: KLCC Property Holdings Bhd (KLCCP) is eyeing significant redevelopment opportunities for some of its assets as it transforms itself to become the country's largest real estate investment trust (REIT) - KLCCP Stapled Group.

“We have a three-pronged approach for growth and this includes the significant redevelopment potential arising from Kompleks Dayabumi, and that is why we have not injected it into the REIT yet.

“We also have a 1.5-acre vacant land named Lot D1, which is in front of Mandarin Oriental that has significant development opportunities,” KLCCP group chief executive officer Hashim Wahir told a press conference after the group's EGM yesterday.

Shareholders approved the formation of the country's first ever syariah-compliant stapled REIT which portfolio would include the Petronas Twin Towers, Menara ExxonMobil, and Menara 3 Petronas. The exercise is expected to be completed by early next month.

All these assets are wholly-owned by Petronas and have 100% occupancy rate. Menara 3 has a 100% occupancy rate for its office portion and a 93.9% for its retail portion.

The property assets are worth in excess of RM15bil which would make the KLCCP Stapled Group more than three times larger than the second largest REIT vehicle, Sunway REIT.

KLCCP will be the REIT manager and would retain Suria KLCC, Mandarin Oriental, Kompleks Dayabumi and Lot D1 in its portfolio.

“This structure would enable us to develop the potential under KLCCP, and once these assets mature, we can inject them into the REIT,” he said. He said KLCCP wanted multinationals to be the anchor tenant of Lot D1, and that the KLCCP Stapled Group was capable of developing projects similar to Menara 3 Petronas, which has a built-up space of approximately one million sq ft.

“Growth would also come from annual rental increments agreed with its tenants,” he said.

Director Datuk Manharlal Ratilal also said KLCCP was in a unique situation with the assets under the REIT on a 15-year triple net lease basis.

“These lease agreements allow for yearly increments, and there will be rental increments every three years. This provides us with a long-term stable income as the chief tenant is Petronas.

“The quantum of increment is about 3% per annum but this will be compounded as a rental revision every three years,” he said.

He said based on the company's price of RM7.09 on Friday, and assuming pro forma as things proceed as planned, the KLCCP Stapled Group would have a market capitalisation of about RM12bil upon listing.

On a year-to-date basis, KLCCP has appreciated 12% to RM7.05, and while on a six month basis it has increased by some 14.4%. It closed four sen lower with 1.08 million shares traded yesterday.

KLCC stapled REIT to be among Asia's largest

The new stapled security structure is also committed to paying more than 90 per cent of its distributable income as dividends.

Hashim said more assets would be injected into the REIT such as Kompleks Dayabumi, which is currently being upgraded to include a new high-rise office tower, and a new building structure nearby Mandarin Oriental.

"We have 0.6ha (site) nearby the hotel. We are talking to multinational companies to be the anchor tenant. Once that is established, building construction would commence. It may be a replica of Menara 3 Petronas, which has a retail component," he said.:banana::banana:

You know the whole Lot D/D1 can be redeveloped with a mall podium connecting to Chanel/Cartier/Giorgio Amarni of Menara 3 Petronas.

KLCCP seeks tenants for new projects

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Centre Property Holdings Bhd (KLCCP) is focusing on the ongoing development of its prime assets, Lot D1 and Kompleks Dayabumi, according to CEO Hashim Wahir.

The group is considering a mixed development on Lot D1 with 80% comprising offices and 20% retail elements. Hashim said the group is in the process of securing anchor tenants for Lot D1, which is located on a 1.4-acre plot opposite the Mandarin Oriental Hotel here.

“I can only give you the gross development value once we have completed the master plan and know the quantum of rental our tenants are willing to pay,” he said after the listing ceremony of KLCC stapled Real Estate Investment Trust (KLCC REIT) on Bursa Malaysia yesterday.

On redeveloping Kompleks Dayabumi, Hashim said there are several plans, including re-positioning retail space and adding more office space. A hotel was mooted as a possibility and the estimated time frame given for the redevelopment is four years.

The landmark 35-storey Kompleks Dayabumi is the former headquarters of Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas). The tower was completed in 1984 and features Islamic-inspired architecture on its facade.

The two properties are part of the newly structured KLCC stapled REIT, which is the largest of its kind in Malaysia. The group’s portfolio is collectively valued at RM15 billion, and is three times larger than its nearest REIT competitor. Hashim is bullish about KLCC REIT’s prospects.

“We have received many enquiries from institutional fund managers. With our asset class, we expect to gain the attention of high-quality investors. The investors will take notice of our commitment for a 90% distributable income payout to shareholders,” he said.

Under the listing, Petronas Twin Towers, Menara 3 Petronas and Menara ExxonMobil are housed under KLCC REIT. Other assets — Suria KLCC, Menara Dayabumi and Mandarin Oriental Hotel — remain under KLCCP.

The majority of KLCCP properties are in the KLCC precinct, which is well-known as the capital’s commercial, shopping and entertainment hub.

The stapled structure of the REIT consolidates the existing KLCCP shares with KLCC REIT units, resulting in the company being a single listed entity. The rationale behind the structure is to unlock value for existing shareholders while retaining the full ownership of current assets.

It also enables the company to maximise the distributable income to shareholders by combining its dividend and the REIT’s distribution per unit. KLCC REIT made strong gains on its first day of listing, rising nearly 7% in intraday trade. The stock closed at RM7.68 yesterday, a 43 sen premium over the initial reference price of RM7.25.
