KUALA LUMPUR | Warisan Merdeka | 600m+ | 1969ft+ | 118 fl | Prep

[patrykus]

It is always so iritating when they start construction of another 500+ without even showing the design

[Eric Offereins]

I've seen that before (one57 for example). Looks like they are preparing the site.

This Morning

Malaysia has begun earthworks for its first proposed and rumoured 118-storey tower in KL that will easily surpass the Twin Towers.

All other details are top secret as of now, but we know the developer-owner is Permodalan Nasional Bhd, a state asset management company with 200 billion ringgit (US$62.5b) in total assets. PNB is a major shareholder of many big companies here such as Maybank Group and its overseas real estate portfolio includes Santos Place in Brisbane and Milton & Shire Building in London. When first announced in Oct 2010, the project was hammered by the general public and most Malaysians want it to stop, but too bad...



Project Name: Warisan Merdeka/The Heritage of Independence (tentative name)
Winning Lead Architect: Fender Katsilidis (Melbourne)
Stage: Evaluation of Piling Work Tenders
Development: The mixed commercial tower, redevelopment of two stadiums into open park and cultural precinct, serviced apartments blocks, hotels and a large high-end shopping mall.

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

..

[Thanial]

Anyone know when the renders will be released? It's great to see that it's getting closer to construction but I want renders! This is more frustrating then the lack of renders for 432 Park Avenue

[sepul]

I think they're trying to delay the street protests against this project until it's already too late .. locals don't want this tower to get built..

[patrykus]

Agree. Over 500m tower almost U/C and no information available about it. Even Kingdom tower and mentioned 432 are less secretive

[KillerZavatar]

so what's the final design now?

the final design still not released yet. i think we need to wait until the end of the year to see the design. below is some renders from the malaysian forum.

[KillerZavatar]

oh wow these renderings are a very good teaser. i like the style of shape. it's very rough if now the cladding and design is right it may even be as good as the hand

[Thanial]

That looks great so far The architects are really good as well so hopefully this will be something special enough to persuade the people against it!

[patrykus]

Ok now I have two questions:

1. Is this drawing serious? Isn't it just some forumer vision idea?
2. So who is the architect of this thing? The person above me says they're good so I just wonder who they are.

I must say this teaser looks really good, but I would like to know if this is anyhow serious.

[KillerZavatar]

im on the other forum searching for some information. i bump some stuff i find, but they don't seem to sources much at all
