From its pristine location to its exciting offerings, there are several reasons why this state-of-the-art precinct has earned special recognition in our nation’s journey.

Located just a stone’s throw away from the historic site of Stadium Merdeka which witnessed the birth of Malaysia as an independent country in 1957, the precinct beautifully blends traditional and modern elements through its architecture and masterplan design, serving as an ode to our rich culture.

Part of the mixed-use development comprises a seven-storey 118 Mall, three residential towers, and a 4-acre linear park.
