Development at KL Sentral

KL Sentral Railway Station was built on the site of the former Keretapi Tanah Melayu marshalling yard in Brickfields. The area around the new central station is being developed into Kuala Lumpur's new central business district with the eponymous name of Kuala Lumpur Sentral. The development is undertaken by a consortium led by Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB). The masterplan for KL Sentral was designed by the architectural firm of renowned Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa (who also designed KLIA). The whole project, began in 1994, is expected to be fully completed only in 2015. They comprise 14 lots from Lot A to Lot N. In addition to the main train terminal, KL Sentral will also include the development of hotels, office blocks, condominiums and shopping malls. As of time of writing (June 2010), the following are some of the buildings that are being planned or have been completed within the KL Sentral development:

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
