Duta Grand Hyatt (GPS: 3.15712, 101.70363) is a stalled development project in Kuala Lumpur. It is located at the junction of Jalan Ampang with Jalan Sultan Ismail. The project began in 1994, but has stalled since the 1998 Asian economic crises, and even today, seems a forlorn shadow on the otherwise vibrant downtown area of the city.
According to Business Times1, The Grand Duta Hyatt is supposed to be a 52-storey skyscraper. The contact was given to Kuala Lumpur Landmark Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Olympia Industries Bhd, and the development was supposed to cost RM570 million. Construction came to a stop in July 1998. There was an attempt to revive it in 2003, but it never reached a stage when construction resume. When construction stopped, the building had reached a height of the 29th floor. Since then, the Hyatt Hotel was no longer associated with the project.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
