WARISAN MERDEKA DEVELOPMENTS | Kuala Lumpur ( Stadium ) | 100F | Proposed

[poltak]

I do not agree with this project not because of the height but it is behind the plaza rakyat project. Imagine if plaza rakyat completed, it will block the PNB building and the view is not nice.

[dengilo]

If pnb got so much money and dont know what to do with it why not pumped it into the pasar rakyat area!That project has been KIV for a while now just leave the 2 stadiums alone.

i think this project will enhanced the whole area including central market.let PNB build this tower,plaza rakyat case should be settled between raja nong chik n the ever unreliable DBKL n Tan Sri Ting Pek Khiing.

KULA LUMPUR: Three sites in the city have been identified for the development of iconic structures to spur growth in the economy.

Sources say they are Dataran Perdana in Jalan Davis, the area surrounding Stadium Merdeka and the vicinity of the Matrade Centre in Jalan Duta.

All the plots of land are privately owned.Two belong to governmentlinked companies — Pelaburan Hartanah Bumiputera Bhd and Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) — while the Naza group owns 25ha in the vicinity of the Matrade Centre.

Economists were recently briefed by the Economic Planning Unit in the Prime Minister’s Department on the implementation of the iconic projects, as part of efforts to boost the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).

Even though the actual designs of the three structures have not been finalised, two appeared to have a 100-storey building each.

This could rival the highest structure in the country — the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers, completed in 1997 at a cost of US$1.2 billion (RM4.05 billion).

While it is understood that the design for such a skyscraper is included in the original development master plan for the 25ha site around the Matrade centre, another source claimed that a 100-storey building is to be built near Stadium Merdeka, owned by PNB.

Bank Islam Malaysia chief economist Azrul Azwa said: “The key thing is the huge cost of the development and what the government’s role will be in this.

“There needs to be a costbenefit analysis of the projects to ensure they not only give short-term benefits to GDP but also help the economy in the long run.” RSP Architect’s Hud Bakar said a 100-storey building, on average, would cost 50 per cent more per square foot than a normal high-rise building, depending on the actual design.

Real estate agent Previndran Singhe of Zerin Properties said: “It is good to have iconic developments. But we should do away with the perception that iconic developments mean tall buildings.”

No applications yet on iconic buildings, says Ahmad Fuad
News 2009-12-07 17:56
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 7 (Bernama) -- There have been no applications from developers to build iconic buildings in the city, said Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Datuk Ahmad Fuad Ismail.

He said he had heard about plans to build such buildings but was still waiting to receive proposals on them.

"In any case, any proposal (to build such buildings) will have to go through the due process," he told reporters after tabling the city's 2010 budget at City Hall here today.

He was commenting on a news report today that three sites had been identified in the city to construct iconic buildings, each about 100-storeys high.

The tallest buildings in the city currently are the Petronas twin towers which are 88 storeys high.

too good to be true but i'll take it

[patchay]

I'm very excited.

But wait...

There are still talking only. I want to see the proposals before rejoicing. Hope not another khabar angin.

- Merdeka Park --> PNB

- Matrade Centre --> NAZA

- Dataran Perdana, Pudu --> PHHB

Bear in mind these ideas weren't new. There have been talks since decades ago, even up to Parliament.

oh haah...pak arab punya auta.mmg sakit ati

[daeng_jal]

diorg dlm bharian, kata project ni iconic development meant to stimulate the economy..

tapi mcm maner tall building nak stimulate the economy, lainlah mcm bablo dgn Guggenheim museum tuu..satu bandar yg org tak kenal, buat iconic structure,so org kenal & increase tourist dgn capital flow..lagipon KL dah world famous dah pun with PTT..so what the point?baik buat somewhere else...

[aseania]

ketinggian tak penting....sebab yg penting 'iconic' which can generate multiplier effect on economy especially surrounding area. just like what KLCC did.

like this in BKK. for me, my fav iconic dev so far...



but to got the same 'impact' as what KLCC, those new towers need to be build outside city center area....or some 'abandoned' and decayed area like Pudu could help stimulate economy as what its main intention....

the PNB's Stadium Merdeka surround is good for this purpose....as that place is in 'mati segan hidup tak mau' condition...

another 'dead' area in KL is...Jalan Ipoh/Sentul/Jalan Kuching area....i dunno what we call that place....Mahameru?

[szehoong]

aseania > Do not think we dunno who you are and trying to act stupid.

[fairul]

i object... don't like the idea of another building to overshadow the iconic Twin Tower...

agree on the article above:

Real estate agent Previndran Singhe of Zerin Properties said: “It is good to have iconic developments. But we should do away with the perception that iconic developments mean tall buildings.”
