Menara Warisan: Belum siap tapi sudah laris

KUALA LUMPUR 19 Feb. - Menara Warisan yang bakal dibangunkan oleh Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) dijangka laris dan bakal diduduki sepenuhnya.

Menurut sumber industri, PNB telah mempunyai senarai pembeli yang menyatakan minatnya untuk menduduki bangunan tersebut.

Katanya: "Untuk memenuhi bangunan tersebut tidak menjadi masalah kerana ramai yang ingin menjadi warga Menara Warisan,

"Sehubungan itu, perancangan dibuat untuk memulakan kerja-kerja ditapak tersebut pada pertengahan tahun ini,'' kata sumber itu kepada Utusan Malaysia di sini.

Beliau menambah, selain syarikat-syarikat luar, Menara Warisan juga akan diduduki oleh syarikat-syarikat pelaburan milik PNB.

Menara Warisan yang dianggarkan bernilai RM5 bilion dan siap selewat-lewatnya 2015 selain mempunyai menara 100 tingkat, juga mempunyai konominium dan pusat komersial.

Para penganalisis sebelum ini berkata, projek bakal mampu memberi peluang yang adil kepada orang Melayu untuk memiliki pejabat, ruang komersial dan kediaman di tengah-tengah bandar raya Kuala Lumpur.

Sementara itu, sumber industri lain berkata, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) dipercayai telah memberikan 'lampu hijau' kepada projek berkenaan dan cuma meminta perubahan dilakukan dalam aspek laluan keluar masuk.

''Pelan susun atur lain tidak ada masalah,'' kata sumber yang menyatakan Menara Warisan yang berbentuk 'diamond' sememangnya cantik sekali tetapi soal sama ia bangunan ikonik atau sebalik, ia bergantung kepada orang ramai.

Sumber menambah, projek pembangunan Menara Warisan perlu dibuat secara teliti kerana lokasinya di tengah-tengah banyak laluan - Jalan Loke Yew, Jalan Hang Tuah, Jalan Hang Jebat, Jalan Sultan dan Jalan Petaling.

Tambahan pula, kata beliau, kedudukan dan fungsi Stadium Negara dan Stadium Merdeka yang masih digunakan juga perlu diambil kira.

"Laluan keluar masuk ke Menara Warisan tidak boleh bergantung kepada lampu trafik sahaja kerana akan menyusahkan orang ramai,'' kata sumber itu .

Berikutan itu, DBKL dikatakan telah mencadangkan PNB menimbangkan pembinaan lebuh raya bertingkat dari Jalan Galloway ke Jalan Pudu.

"Sebenarnya banyak rangkaian jalan yang DBKL minta perbaiki, kalau tidak 'pengsan' pengguna jalan raya di kawasan itu," kata beliau lagi.

PERMODALAN Nasional Bhd (PNB) expects to start ground works on the proposed 100-storey Menara Warisan Merdeka project by the middle of next year.

Its president and chief executive officer Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman said PNB has already submitted plans, including design and concept for approval to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall recently.

"We hope to receive the approval soon and will make an announcement accordingly," he told reporters after a media briefing to announce the income distribution for its Amanah Saham Bumiputera scheme for financial year ended December 31 2011 here yesterday.

He said this when was asked to provide update on the mega project.

"Usually, it takes several months for the approvals from the City Hall. We will give ample time to City Hall to evaluate thoroughly to avoid any problems in future.

"(But) by the middle of next year, we think we can carry out several groundworks and others on the project," he said.

Earlier reports said that PNB will be undertaking the RM5 billion Warisan Merdeka development over three phases in 10 years, starting with the 100-storey tower this year.

It was reported that the development will also have a shopping complex and condominium.

The tower - touted to be the country's tallest - will cost RM2.5 billion to RM3 billion and will have gross floor space of three million sq ft and 2.2 million sq ft of net floor space.

It is scheduled to be completed in 2015.

It was also reported that PNB had set up wholly-owned unit PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Bhd to undertake the project.

Tengku Abdul Aziz Tengku Mahmud, formerly from Guthrie Property Development Holding Bhd and Sime Darby Property Bhd, heads the company now.

Apart from the Warisan project site, PNB's other property portfolio includes Menara PNB, PNB Darby Park, Kenanga International Building, Bangunan MAS in Kuala Lumpur, Hotel Perdana in Kota Baru and PNB Ilham Resort in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan.

Commenting on the uncertainty of the global economy next year, Hamad Kama Piah said PNB has its own strategy to face the challenges in the global arena.

"We have been facing uncertainties almost now and then. The issue of US economy, the issue of Europe, we just cannot say it is a small thing. It is something big in the world.

"So far, we have done our best because in terms of strategy, we as a long-term player have to make sure that we are creating growth for the future.

"Our strategy is always creating value, while more or less every year we pay dividend. This is the basic principle of investing," he said.

that's why this project is needed as the stadium negara area is like 'dead'. it needs something like this to revive the area, economically.

those who oppose are really stupid. oppose for nothing.

[kl 2020 ideas]

If PNB built 2 towers with 55 floor each then they will shut off their mouth

[newbi3s]

Just go for it. Revitalize the area.

[D_Y2k.2^]

Just visited the site. Seems to hv more activites than usual. Couldnt take much photos as security was pretty tight:



Wont be surprised they will officially announce this project soon. Will try to go behind the site shortly

[dengilo]

If they have got to this stage surely they have a idea what type of piling or foundation the building needs!I agree the area needs to be revitalized,it doesn't have to be the tallest building in Malaysia thats for sure!

[D_Y2k.2^]

All land seems to be leveled and filled. Here taken from Chin Woo:




Never knew it is that close to Chin Woo.


For those who are as curious as I am, this is Chin Woo. Such architecture must be preserved and could be part of the revitalize project. I'm sure such an old association building comes with full of history

well, yes agree.

but they might think that iconic structure and taller would be attractive.

they want to build something that could be a catalyst for growth around that area.
i think it's acceptable as long as they could get return, end of the day, it's all about business.
it's just malaysians with all these politics in mind... too much, way too much.
