That's supposed to be Impiana extension. So it looks as if there will be 2 towers.

the glassy face looks great, but i wanna see the other side

^^ glassy.. :cool: hope the back will look somethin like TA tower!

I try to figured out where is the hotel extension block. Could it be on top of the current carpark podium, extend outward from the existing tower?

Great, thanks for your info. :okay:
Welcome to the forum. :)

wow..i c alot of empty space in KL have converted to temporary car park in the pic that Baq have posted;)

Thank u :D

i think the land next to the building might soon become car park center. Because the office owner is also the land owner which next to the building. Inside the building only have 100++ car park.

I think this is how the entrance will look like :cool:

Property development to drive future E&O earnings

KUALA LUMPUR: Property development is expected to be the main earnings growth driver for Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O) going forward, said executive director Chan Kok Leong.

“For the financial year ended March 31, E&O's property development contributed about 60% of earnings, while the construction arm contributed 30%. The remainder was largely from hotel operations,” Chan said after the AGMs of E&O and E&O Property Development Bhd yesterday.

Group pre-tax profit was RM44.9mil compared with RM16.8mil the year before, on revenue of RM500mil versus RM21.1mil previously.

For the first quarter ended June 30, E&O posted a net profit of RM16.1mil on revenue of RM192.8mil.

E&O's current land-bank stands at 1,800 acres –1,300 in Penang and the balance in Selangor, Putrajaya, Malacca and the Klang Valley.

The company had no immediate plan to increase its land bank, Chan said, as “they are prime land bank that can last us 10 to 15 years or maybe longer.”

Chan highlighted the 980-acre Seri Tanjung Pinang development in Penang as one of the main projects with good earnings potential for the group.

The company has also lined up two projects for launch in the next 12 months.

One is a mixed integrated project with the Lion Group, consisting of offices, serviced apartments, hotel and retail space on 5.5-acre site at the former St Mary’s Girls School in Kuala Lumpur at jalan tengah off jalan p ramlee.

The other is a condominium and serviced apartment development on 6.5 acres in Jalan Semantan. It is a joint venture with Selangor Properties Bhd.

E&O also plans to set up a namesake hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

The group is set to list its construction arm Putrajaya Perdana Bhd (PPB) on the main board next month. The company will offer for sale 29.4 million shares at RM1.80 each, raising proceeds of about RM53mil.

After the listing, E&O is expected to have an aggregate direct and indirect interest of about 50% in PPB.

oh...i didnt know..in fact i dont even know the name of the road. well..i mean jalan tengah :)

good to know that....

can u imagine.. how big the site :nuts:

can u imagine.. how big the site :nuts:

:uh: isn't that a legal requirement?
Any pictures of the construction please?

^^ OMG :eek2:

Just take a note. Could the act is purposely throwed out for fun or aiming somebody below? There is no assurance with 100% safety adhered everywhere. Take my advice..whenever you r on site, wear safety helmet and LOOK FORWARD, no head up or down.

omg omg i can't imagine thier situation there :ohno:

I think the site work is well managed compared to others. If you notice properly, the top few floors are barricaded by climbing platform (blue cages). This ll prevent worker from accidentally fell off and blocks any falling objects. Somemore, this is kwailoh run..Bovis Lease, one of the world top project management.

Greg, the extension hotel is right beside the hotel itself. If you look carefully at the hotel below, you can spot some column stumps from the carpark above. Thats are the extension column for the attached new tower.

Property:
Impiana group to expand portfolio
By Sharen Kaur Published: 2008/03/09
BusinessTimes

http://www.btimes.com.my/Monday/OurPick/IMPIA22.xml/Article/Current_News/BTIMES/Images/btgraph7/impiana.jpg

HOTEL and resort operator Impiana Hotels & Resorts Management Sdn Bhd (IHRM) plans to acquire shares in existing and new properties to expand its portfolio, its top official said.

The company, founded by Datuk Seri Ismail Farouk Abdullah of KAB Group, is looking at new management contracts in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, to spearhead the plan, group general manager Mohamad Halim Merican said.

"Besides managing for other owners, there is always an option to look at equity in those properties," Halim told Business Times in an interview.

"We feel that by being part owners, it shows how serious we are in resort and hotel operations," he added.


HOTEL and resort operator Impiana Hotels & Resorts Management Sdn Bhd (IHRM) plans to acquire shares in existing and new properties to expand its portfolio, its top official said.

The company, founded by Datuk Seri Ismail Farouk Abdullah of KAB Group, is looking at new management contracts in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, to spearhead the plan, group general manager Mohamad Halim Merican said.

"Besides managing for other owners, there is always an option to look at equity in those properties," Halim told Business Times in an interview.

"We feel that by being part owners, it shows how serious we are in resort and hotel operations," he added.

Halim said IHRM is in discussions with the operators and hopes to sign equity deals over the next three years.

The company hopes to own and manage up to 12 properties by 2010.

"We believe it is a sizeable number. Of course, we can take in as many management contracts as we want, but we will look at destination and if the properties can complement our existing ones," he said.

On management contracts, Halim said the company has been approached by several hoteliers and resort owners.

IHRM currently owns and operates the Impiana Cherating Resort in Kuantan, Pahang, and the Impiana Phuket Cabana Resort and the Impiana Samui Resort in Thailand.

It manages the Impiana KLCC Hotel & Spa in Jalan Pinang, Kuala Lumpur, for KLCC Property Holdings Bhd, and the Impiana Casuarina Ipoh for the Perak state government.

IHRM is currently upgrading four of its properties at a cost of RM25 million, in line with its brand-building exercise.

"We are doing retrofitting in all the properties, except Impiana KLCC which will be extended under a RM100 million plan," said Halim.

At both the Casuarina Ipoh and Samui Resort, the company is upgrading all the rooms, lobby, public and lift landing areas, and restaurants.

In Cherating, IHRM plans to reduce the number of rooms to 98 from 120 to offer more space. It will also improve the lobby and public areas, lounge and meeting rooms.

"Impiana Cherating sits on 8ha and we still have about 3ha of undeveloped land. We plan to build luxury villas soon to complement the whole resort," Halim said.

"We did very well in 2006 and 2007, and hope to perform better from this year. All these expansion plans are happening as the Impiana group has experienced a positive revenue flow," he added.

I don't like building that has "side A" and "side B" like this. The curvy frontal facade is all beautiful and elegant, but the backside, the one facing KLCC is just plain boring. Building should be beautiful all around, just like Tabung Haji or PTT.

what name this building? :lol:

too short for kl CBD area though..

Bangunan di Jalan Perak adalah bangunan medium rise ..not super high rise yet skyscraper!
Tengok almost bangunan semua tu belum surpass setinggi The Ascott atau Marc lagi :lol:
kalau mereka bina bangunan tertinggi kat situ ..kan jadi tak balance...

General Allowable Heights for Kuala Lumpur

http://klcityplan2020.dbkl.gov.my/eis/wp-content/gallery/chapter-6/figure62.jpg

In general, the allowable heights for all areas in Kuala Lumpur are guided by a General Allowable Height Plan (GAHP) (Figure 6.2). The GAHP serves as guide for developments within Kuala Lumpur with the intentions of:

(a) Developing a city skyline and profi les that accentuate the city centre as central area for Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding areas as edges to the city with major landmark buildings in the city centre being the focus of vistas and views.
(b) Promoting innovative building designs in terms of massing and heights within the allowable plot ratio and height where strategically located landmark buildings can be created as local vistas or landmark to their locality.

6.4.1 Application of GAHP
• The GAHP shall be used as reference and guide in determining indication of maximum heights of buildings subject to compliance to allowable plot ratio or density as defi ned in the DCP 2 – Density Map and DCP 3 - Plot Ratio Map.
• Variation in heights between several towers and podium within a development can be allowed as long as they do not exceed the allowable plot ratio and the maximum allowable heights indicated in the GAHP.
• For buildings located within the designated height control zones indicated in Height Control Plan, guidelines regarding the respective height control zones must be observed and followed.

• For buildings or development where higher plot ratios are allowed (CDA area, urban regenerations areas and inner city centre area) which results in local peaking situations (higher building heights than GAHP) then such situation shall prevail against the GAHP.

However, such development must develop and submit to KLCH the detail Urban Design Guidelines (DUD) that should indicate how it relates to the overall city’s skyline and physical profile.

Guideline for Landmark View Corridor Height Control Zone

The two landmarks of Kuala Lumpur are the Petronas Twin Tower in Kuala Lumpur City Centre and the KL Tower in Bukit Nanas. These two landmark buildings have become a symbol that is synonymous to the city of Kuala
Lumpur.

Views towards the two landmark buildings are categorized into two categories as follows:

Landmark View Corridor
View looking directly towards either one of the landmark buildings from designated locations.

(a) LV1 – view from Tugu Negara
(b) LV2 – view from Dataran Merdeka
(c) LV3 – view from Sungai Besi Airport
(d) LV4 – view from MRR2 Kg Pandan
(e) LV5 – view from Tasik Ampang Hilir
(f ) LV6 – view from Wangsa Maju Park
(g) LV7 –view from Taman Tasik Titiwangsa
(h) LV8 – view from Taman Metropolitan Batu
(i) LV9 – view from MRR2/Taman Metropolitan Kepong

6.5.1 Maximum Allowable Heights
• Any part of a structure that is within the cone of the two landmark building is subject to the limitation of the building height.
• No part of a structure within the view corridor shall exceed the allowable height elevation in MSL. Whenever a structure lies partially outside and partially inside of the view corridor, the provisions of this guideline shall apply only to that part of the structure that lies within the zone.
• The highest point of the building shall be either the top of the parapet or coping of a fl at-roofed building, or the ridge of a sloping roof. No occupied part of any building shall be constructed above the permitted height and this includes unoccupied building features projecting above the highest point of the building.
• Actual building heights would vary depending on the fi nal grade of the site on which the buildings are located, and no part can project up into the defined view cone. This applies even in cases where a building straddles an elevation.
• For buildings located 1000m to the said landmarks, the position of the tower is critical and a tower location analysis needs to be prepared by the developer/land owner (see Section 6.5.3)

6.5.2 Heights Circulation
• The building height limitations depend on the vertical measurement to the top of the landmark as a reference point, usually with increased height allowed as the building is located farther and below the elevation of the landmarks. The vertical measurement is measured as elevation above mean sea level and in measurement of feet.
• The vertical measurement to the top of the landmark building i.e. Petronas Twin Tower and KL Tower. Height elevation of any buildings must not exceed the maximum height elevation of these two (2) landmarks (Table 6.2).

Petronas Twin Tower shall mean the two towers located on top of the podium block of Suria KLCC i.e. from the bottom of Link Bridge to the top most of the Tower Antenna.

KL Tower shall mean view to at least 75% of the total vertical height.


Example of Calculation:

Height Relative to Petronas Twin Tower Landmark View Corridor
i. The maximum height elevation of Petronas Twin Tower is 688.97 MSL or210 m height elevation.

ii. If the finished ground level of the proposed building is 98.4 MSL and islocated 4000 meter away from the tower , then the height is:
688.97 MSL – 98.4 MSL = 590.57 feet or 45 stories. (at 4.0 meter per level).

iii. The submitting person then needs to refer to the ‘General Allowable Height Plan’ (GAHP) to verify the final allowable height for the building.

iv. If the calculated height elevation as above is higher than GAHP, then the lower allowable height in this case the GAHP prevails. Thus in this case if the allowable height as GAHP is 38 stories, therefore the final allowable height is 38 stories and not 45.

v. If in any case, the calculated height elevation is lower than GAHP, than the lower allowable height in this case the View Corridor HCZ calculation shall take precedent.

6.5.3 Height Calculation for Building within Short Distance of
Landmark Buildings Description
In general there are many short views from major parksand major development within Kuala Lumpur city centre. There are two (2) means of control:
• Heights as AMSL; and
• Control over building above podium level. (Positioning of towers must not block visual corridor to the landmark buildings).

Buildings within short distance of the landmark buildings refers to buildings located within 1000 meter of either Petronas Twin Towers or KL Tower.

Example of Calculation for Building within Short Distance of Landmark Buildings
i. Part of the site falls onto the view corridor towards KLCC (control at 688.97ft).

ii. If the finished ground level is 196ft AMSL or 60m, then the allowable height is:
= 6.88.77ft – 196ft
= 492.97 feet (150m AMSL).
iii. Therefore, allowable heights for building located within the view corridor is 130m (MSL) whilst for part of building located outside the corridor must not exceed 240m (MSL) as determined through the GAHP.

iv. However, the position of the tower at 240m needs to be in position with narrower width facing towards KLCC.
