KLIFD masterplan ready by early 2012, says 1MDB
August 04, 2011

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 — Kuala Lumpur International Financial District (KLIFD) masterplan is scheduled to be completed in early 2012.

Akitek Jururancang (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and its international partner, Machado Silvetti and Associates are the master planners for the project, said 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), according to Bernama Online.

It added in its released statement that the companies selected will realise 1MDB’s vision for the finance district through its fusion of local and international talents.

1MDB organised a design competition in late 2010, attracting some of the world’s best

Located in the Imbi area facing Jalan Tun Razak, the 30 hectare development is focused on attracting leading financial institutions and global companies within it.

It will leverage on Malaysia’s strategic location and strength in Islamic finance.

KLIFD takes shape

Kuala Lumpur: 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), the government-owned firm in charge of setting up the Kuala Lumpur International Financial District (KLIFD), has picked Akitek Ju-rurancang (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and its international partner, Machado Silvetti and Associates (MSA), as the project's master planners.

The US$8 billion (RM23.7 billion) KLIFD, one of Malaysia's biggest projects, aims to tightly cluster financial institutions and top global firms on 30.3ha of land in the Imbi area, fronting Jalan Tun Razak here.

A detailed masterplan of the project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year, 1MDB said in a press statement yesterday.

The project is a joint venture between 1MDB and Mubadala Development Corp, Abu Dhabi's investment arm.

1MDB had, in late 2010, organised a design competition for master planners, attracting some of the world's best.

"The two companies (Akitek Jururancang and MSA) represent the fusion of local and international talents that best translate 1MDB's vision for the future financial district, through their concept and rendering of the masterplan," said Datuk Azmar Talib, chief operating officer of 1MDB Real Estate Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of 1MDB.

He said the two companies share a vision for a "highly functioning, interesting, innnovative and aesthetically pleasing urban district" that would establish KLIFD as a financial centre of choice.

Construction work is expected to take off in June, according to news reports earlier this year.

The project is seen to be providing significant stimulus for the construction and related industries.

It will leverage on Malaysia's existing strength in Islamic finance and play on its strategic location to complement other financial centres within the region.

The RHB banking group is expected to be the first to set up presence there.

According to 1MDB, the Akitek Jururancang-MSA partnership is to deliver a sustainable, modern and progressive KLIFD.

This will be projected through buildings, a pedestrian-friendly green public realm and seamless links to public transportation.

"We have a real contribution to make to the urbanscape of Kuala Lumpur in line with the objective of the Greater KL initiative to make Kuala Lumpur a world-class city. The increasing emphasis on the greening of the city - as manifested in the recent River of Life and upgrading of the Lake Gardens - signals a welcome reception of KLIFD's unique 'Financial Centre in the Park'," Akitek Jururancang's managing director Datuk Seri Esa Mohamed said in the same statement.

The River of Life is a project name for the beautification of a 10.7km stretch of the Klang and Gombak river.

Akitek Jururancang's partner MSA, a US-firm based in Boston, has worked on projects like The Mint Museum (Charlotte, North Carolina) and the Boston Public Library.

It won an architecture prize last year for its work on the Suliman S. Olayan School of Business at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon.

hey guys
that is not the final detailed masterplan... just an artist impression...

I'm sure there'll be some very tall apartments along the way. But as I said before it will be nice if we could have BANK HQs there, perhaps starting with RHB and BURSA (but they decline to move?).

Many others could be in the form of OFFICE CAMPUS concept.

I think so! It look more like an abstract design...

Gambaran artis projek pembangunan KLIFD.

KUALA LUMPUR 4 Ogos – 1Malaysia Development Bhd. (IMDB) berkata pelan induk terperinci bagi Daerah Kewangan Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIFD) bernilai RM26 bilion dijangka siap pada suku pertama tahun depan.

Ketua Pegawai Operasi IMDB Real Estate Sdn. Bhd., Datuk Azmar Talib berkata, Arkitek Jururancang (M) Sdn. Bhd. (AJM) dan rakan antarabangsanya, Machado Silvetti & Associates (MSA) telah dipilih untuk menyediakan pelan induk tersebut.

Beliau berkata: ‘‘AJM dan MSA berkongsi satu wawasan inovatif dari segi nilai estetik untuk mewujudkan KLIFD sebagai pusat kewangan pilihan.’’

Katanya, AJM dan MSA berjaya mengenepikan beberapa persaingannya yang turut menyertai pertandingan pencarian bagi perancang induk KLIFD yang diadakan pada tahun lalu.

Antara peserta yang bersaing ialah Foster + Partners, Sasaki, BDP, Machado dan Silvetti, Broadway Malyan, Atkins, Cox Richardson, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, Nikken Sekkei Ltd. dan OMA.

Kedua-dua syarikat mewakili gabungan bakat-bakat tempatan dan antarabangsa terbaik yang mampu menterjemahkan wawasan 1MDB bagi daerah kewangan masa depan melalui konsep dan persembahan bagi pelan induk, menurut kenyataan 1MDB.

Pemilihan dua syarikat itu dibuat selepas 1MDB menganjurkan pertandingan rekaan bagi para perancang induk pada tahun lalu telah menarik penyertaan terbaik dalam perancang induk dunia.

Tambah beliau, AJM-MSA komited untuk menghasilkan KLIFD yang mampan dan model serta melaksanakan rekaan antarabangsa peringkat tertinggi.

Selain itu, ia turut memberi penekanan perancangan progresif termasuk ketahanan bangunan dan infrastruktur, satu jajahan awam hijau mesra pejalan kaki, rangkaian pengangkutan awam yang meluas dan garis panduan bagi seni bina dengan piawaian antarabangsa.

‘‘Kami akan memberi sumbangan sebenar untuk landskap perbandaran Kuala Lumpur, sejajar dengan objektif inisiatif Greater KL untuk menjadikan bandar raya ini bandar berkelas dunia,’’ katanya.

Peningkatan kesedaran bandar yang dimanifestasikan dalam Sungai Kehidupan dan pemulihan taman-taman tasik, merupakan tanda menyambut keunikan KLIFD sebagai Pusat Kewangan Dalam Taman, kata Pengarah Urusan AJM, Datuk Seri Esa Mohamed.

I like the kiss tower..even it looks so tacky but something different for KL skyline. The KLIFD project is a good combination of a local (AJM) and an international (MSA) architecture firms, so it complements each other and allowed transferring of expertise.
