Veritas is ok - their PWC building in Sentral not bad but I think the Binjai Tower could be more world class looking given its location.

Where is Cesar Pelli? And why no Japanese firms? No Kenzo Tange?Their skyscrapers can be quite awesome.

And that goes with Renzo Piano.

Menara Telekom looks good from certain angles and misshapen from others.
Also the interior is a mess. I know as I have to go there quite a number of time.

CEO believes 1MDB projects should be self-sustaining
Saturday March 10, 2012

StarBizWeek spoke with 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) CEO Shahrol Halmi regarding the agency's latest purchase of Tanjong Energy Sdn Bhd and its ongoing property projects KL International Financial District and Bandar Malaysia.



...

The costs for the property project will be quite massive. How does that filter into the expansion at the power side?

As I said, this is like instant oatmeal. The nice thing about power plants that the banks will finance you for project-level financing because it's utility, its not something new. We thus won't need to raise new funds.

When you do infrastructure like KLIFD you have to put money upfront. We have an ongoing plan on that. This will not however slow down KLIFD or Bandar Malaysia because we're not taking money from there.

...

Can you give a ballpark figure of how much you need going forward with all the real estate and power projects?

It is on a project by project basis. The Tanjong board will decide on the strategy they want to take. For KLIFD, we know the figure of RM25bil to RM26bil GDV has been bandied about. For phase one, which we expect to complete in 2016, it will take RM1bil to RM1.5bil for infrastructure over the next few years. The point I'd like to make is that each project has to stand on its own. In KLIFD, the location is good and we will seek financing based on the quality of the project. It is pushed down to the project level.

Is it a replica of KL Sentral?

Yes and no. We look at the overall infrastructure basis. But because it's an integrated structure, you can't do it block by block. Ideally you have a phase and they all come up concurrently. If your mall is ready but the office isn't, then koyak. As much as possible we want the district to come up as a whole. We have broken everything into phases. Ideally all sama-sama then poof. That's how you maximise the value creation.

Does it make sense to have a financial district?

That's the point we debated internally. It's not just about banks but also financial services. It's an ecosystem approach. It may very well evolve into a central business district type development. Bankers and fund managers need to invest in something. The centre of gravity for oil and gas right now is the KLCC Twin Towers. Why can't we have one for the finance industry too? We want to have a good place to shop and eat and we can price this at a premium. Twenty years from now people can take this as a benchmark.

Yeah what are they waiting for then?
