KLCC (GPS: 3.15622, 101.7143) is a huge urban redevelopment in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The name stands for Kuala Lumpur City Centre. It is one of the world's largest urban redevelopment projects. It was built to create a self-contained city within a city. KLCC covers an area of over 1.67 million sq metres (18 million sq feet). It includes commercial, retail, hotel, convention, residential, and entertainment facilities. The masterplan delineated the site into 22 freehold lots on the 20-hectare site.
The KLCC neighbourhood has mostly sleek, small luxury condominiums and serviced apartments, with some older houses and bungalows. The luxury condos and serviced apartments here are some of the most expensive in the country, in terms of price per square foot. Development is dense towards Jalan Ampang in the north. Over the past decade, places such as Jalan Kia Peng and Jalan Stonor are experiencing rapid development of luxury condos. The residents here are upper-middle-class executives and expatriates.
MRT/LRT
People who live in the KLCC neighbourhood are unlikely to depend on mass transit to get around. The nearest station are the KLCC LRT Station and Ampang Park LRT Station. Both are quite a distance to walk, if you are in the far end of the neighbourhood.

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.
