Sunrise unveils RM1.3 billion project in city centre

Designed by renowned architect Ole Scheeren, founding principal of
architecture firm Büro Ole Scheeren, the building comprises five distinct
elements — three floating elevated tower blocks and two multi-level zones
of open horizontal slabs.

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 9): Sunrise Bhd, a wholly-owned unit of UEM Land Holdings Bhd, has unveiled plans for its new landmark project, Angkasa Raya, which has an estimated gross development value of RM1.3 billion and is poised to be the group's new flagship development.

Situated at the intersection of Jalan Ampang and Jalan P Ramlee, directly across the Petronas Twin Towers, the building will be on the 1.59-acre site of the former Wisma Angkasa Raya, which was demolished in August 2011.

"There are obviously challenges in the world and the property market now but we believe that this building will not only be iconic in Malaysia but also the world over. Everywhere in the world, the primest of prime properties will always be sought after," said Datuk Tong Kooi Ong, chairman of Sunrise at the unveiling of the building's design on Tuesday.

Tong, who is also on the board of UEM Land, added that the development is scheduled to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2012. At a construction cost of more than half a billion ringgit, work will start early next year and the development is expected to complete in 2016.

Despite the global economic uncertainty, Tong is confident Angkasa Raya will perform well.

Standing at 268 metres with 65 floors, the development will integrate a Grade A premium office, a luxury hotel with over 200 five-star suites, over 280 high-end serviced residences, signature retail spaces and three sky levels.

"With the unobstructed view of the Petronas Twin Towers and the KL skyline, it offers a unique dinning experience," said Sunrise general manager of projects Ong Chou Wen.

The challenge, said Scheeren, was to design a building that is both respectful to and harmonious with the Petronas Twin Towers, and yet with a very different idea and qualities of architecture.

"The design of Angkasa Raya was inspired by Malaysia's multicultural and diverse society. It proposes a new model of urban and cultural inclusiveness," he said.

The offices, designed in alignment with sustainable architectural principles, are targeted at multinational companies, while the high-end serviced residences are sized from 500 to 2,000 sq ft.

The development is aiming for a Green Building Index certification. In line with its green practices, the tower facades are clad with modular aluminium sun-shading, geometrically optimised and carefully oriented to reduce solar heat gain.

The sky’s the limit in Kuala Lumpur
Written by: A Place in the Sun Thursday, November 17, 2011
http://www.aplaceinthesun.com/news/f...la-Lumpur.aspx

Kuala Lumpur’s skyline is set to get a new resident - a 65 storey, 268-metre-high mixed use block, which will house hotel rooms, offices and apartments.

The scheme shows the increasing level of investment in Malaysia as a whole, with property in Malaysia proving increasingly popular with overseas investors.

Designed by Ole Scheeren, the architect behind the CCTV headquarters in Beijing, the Angkasa Raya tower is due to be finished by 2016. Rather than being made of a single block, the striking tower will be constructed of three interconnected slabs which twist into spirals. It is hoped that the design will alter the perception of what a skyscraper can be.

The tower’s unique design is deliberately being set apart from other skyscrapers in the hope that it will stand out in the crowded city skyline: “With the Twin Towers [Petronas] in the vicinity, we need a design that can relate to something as strong and as powerful as that,” explained Scheeren, adding that the building would add to the dramatic skyline of the city.

Called ‘The Service Residences’, the scheme will feature a “family of high-end condominiums located in the upper tower block from floor 37 to 64 … and grouped around a naturally ventilated atrium,” according to the developers.

There will be 280 residential units including studios, one to three bedroom apartments and duplexes as well as penthouses. The design also features landscaped gardens.
