MALAYSIAN Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) will develop the last parcel of land (Lot F) at Kuala Lumpur Sentral in Brickfields, starting next year.
The integrated mixed development will take about four years to complete, said group managing director Datuk Mohamad Salim Fateh Din.
“We will develop the land to add value to KL Sentral. It will take shape from next year as soon as we get the concept right. It will feature green buildings worth more than RM4 billion. The buildings will have platinum rating and there will be 21 per cent energy savings for companies that operate there.” Currently there are eight green buildings at KL Sentral.
MRCB is talking to several multinational companies that have indicated their interest in relocating to KL Sentral.
Covering 29.16ha, KL Sentral consists of the RM1.1 billion world-class transit hub Stesen Sentral, several Grade-A office towers and suites, residences, hotels and a mall.
KL Sentral, which started in 1995, is targeted to be fully completed in 2017.
Developments under construction include St Regis Hotel and Residences, Nu Sentral mall, Q Sentral, Sentral Residences and 1 Sentrum.
MRCB is also investing more than RM35 million to upgrade Stesen Sentral and build three bridges within KL Sentral.
About 150,000 passengers use the station daily and the figure is expected to double with the opening of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 in Sepang next year.
“We need to upgrade the station and add new facilities, including additional parking areas,” said Salim.
