i really love the design..very iconic..

[sepul]

I like the previous design.. it was like nothing I've ever seen before.. the new design of the 100-storey can be like any other supertall proposal I've seen in Chinese cities forum.. it makes me wonder why so many new proposals of modern glassy supertalls are look-alikes..

Yea........not to be a party pooper here but they also need to solve the chronic parking problems next door which is the world's second largest courthouse. The carpark always overflows to Matrade.

It is good that they actually hired SOM to do the master-planning. It is not a matter of height for me (but that would be a good bonus hehe ), but how iconic is the iconic building. From the rendering of the massing model, it looked like just another cookie-cutter skyscraper that could be home in China or the UAE.

Although the PTT is no longer the world's tallest - it is still iconic and that is what I like bout it.

The park look alike like 9/11 memorial..Would be more super awesome if the park were more "garden by the bay like"

[kennyoct88]

just wan to know ... the phase 1 complete will inculde the LRT/MRT station not ??

[razpatrol99]

anyone have the details pics of the landmark tower?? full design still abit blurry for me. but i think it will look great. Just that its a bit sad they plan this one for the future phase.... they shld built it at the same time with the convention center. It suppose to be a landmark for that area, but then we still not very sure when it will be built. 15-20 yrs to complete a little bit too long for me.10-15years shld be fair enough.

KL Metropolis expected to woo RM3.5b foreign investments
Foreign companies may invest that amount to build properties, either on their own or in partnership with Naza TTDI

KUALA LUMPUR: The Naza Group's KL Metropolis project is expected to lure foreign investments of some RM3.5 billion over its 15-year development period.

Foreign companies may invest that amount to build properties, either on their own or in partnership with Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd, the property arm of Naza Group.

"While we can build the structures on our own, we want to give opportunities to others for transfer of technology and expertise," Naza TTDI group managing director SM Faliq SM Nasimuddin said af-ter the project's launch on Tuesday.

The RM15 billion project is located next to the existing Matrade building off Jalan Duta and is touted as a new business district.

It will feature 22 office and residential towers, which include a 100-storey building and three hotels, as well as the new one million sq ft Matrade centre and two retail centres with more than two million sq ft of space on 30 hectares.

Launched by Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed, the Minister of International Trade and Industry (Miti), the project will be developed in three phases.

Phase 1 will comprise the exhibition centre, two residential towers, two hotels, two office towers and a retail centre, worth a combined RM6 billion.

Faliq said tenders to cons-truct the buildings will be called next month. It has appointed a local contractor to do the piling work.

Naza TTDI will borrow from banks and use internal funds for the initial stages of development, after which it may raise more money from a bond sale. The company is expected to invest RM500 million on infrastructure alone.

"We aim to complete Phase 1 by 2014/2015," he said.

Naza TTDI is already in talks with several foreign investors to build the retail and com-mercial properties in a joint venture.

It is also in discussions with a few five-star international hotels and mall operators to manage some of its properties.

"We are seeking five-star hotel operators and good retail partners for the project. We want to make this a world-class business and tourist destination," Faliq said.

Naza TTDI will announce several deals before the end of this year or early next year.

Faliq said Phase 2, which will start in 2015, will have five residential towers, three office blocks, a boutique hotel, a healthcare centre and the 100-storey building, worth RM4 billion.

Phase 3, worth RM5 billion, will start in 2019, consisting of three residential towers, three office buildings and a retail centre, he added.

“We have attracted a lot of local and foreign interest for this project, repositioning Malaysia on the world map. We expect several en bloc deals coming in,” Faliq said.

KL Metropolis is designed to Malaysia’s Green Building Index requirement and is also the first registered LEED for Neighbourhood project in Malaysia.

The LEED certification is an internationally-recognised green rating system that incorporates the principles of smart growth, urbanism and green building.

[ashraf abdullah]

hope it would be amazing and awesome like the bund in shanghai (atleast).
and with the SOM designs,it's brilliant

[PlanetNova]

Why are they not going to build the tall tower first?

[Dean_14]

they should have build the landmark tower first to attract the investors from oversea..

[sty1978]

Hmm, i wonder what they will do with the surrounding road network? The existing road will not be able to handle all the extra traffic once the development is completed.

[Arkdriver]

traffic dispersal around the area need to be redesign
