Nu Sentral Retail Mall promises to combine lifestyle shopping
with convenience that appeals to discerning modern and
urban consumers. It combines connectivity, convenience and
convergence to cater to the ever-changing needs of retailers and
consumers, with a captive market of over 800,000 households
and a total population of over 3.6 million.
The iconic Perdana Sentral offi ce tower with GFA of over
540,000 sq. ft. will be an outstanding landmark along Jalan
Tun Sambanthan, one of Kuala Lumpur’s major public
arterial transportation routes. Pre-certifi ed as a LEED Silver
offi ce building, awarded by the United States Green Building
Council, it will reinforce MRCB leadership in sustainable
development geared towards attracting international investors
and businesses.
Positioned as the fi rst integrated ‘green’ lifestyle retail mall in
Malaysia, Nu Sentral is designed in compliance with Singapore’s
BCA Green Mark and Malaysia’s GBI certifi cations. Nu Sentral
will be adopting sustainable and green building practices.
A joint-venture development between MRCB and Pelaburan
Hartanah Berhad (PHB), the retail mall will be owned by Nu
Sentral Sdn Bhd, a 51:49 joint-venture between MRCB and PHB
respectively and operated by MRCB Land. The offi ce tower is

Construction of all the components of Lot G started
concurrently in early 2009 and is scheduled for completion
by the endof 2012. More importantly, Nu Sentral will also see
an addition of another 2,500 car parks to the existing car parks
in Kuala Lumpur Sentral.
Lot 348: Offi ce (Menara Shell) And Service Apartment (Ascott
Sentral)
Menara Shell was initially a project jointly undertaken by MRCB
and Gapurna Sdn Bhd. However, in 2010, MRCB secured 100%
ownership of the equity. With a GDV of over RM900 million, 348
Sentral consists of a commercial offi ce tower and a 157-unit
service residences block above a fi ve-storey retail podium.
Shell People Services has signed an agreement in 2009 to be the
anchor tenant of the offi ce. This commitment by Shell People
Services is consistent with its plan to consolidate its businesses
and corporate functions in the Klang Valley to operate from a single
offi ce by 2012. Shell People Services is the regional company
providing various services within the Shell group, including real
estate, fi nance and management consultancies and recruitment,
learning and human resources information technology support.
With sustainability being the main criterion for the development,
several green features have been integrated early in the design
process. These features will enable the project to achieve a Building
Energy Index (BEl) of less than 150 kWh/m2/yr, as well as targeting
LEED Gold status.
The serviced residences will be managed by Ascott International,
a global serviced residence operator with a presence in more
than 20 countries. Visitors to Kuala Lumpur Sentral will be spoilt
for choice with this world-class addition to Hilton Kuala Lumpur
and Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur hotels currently in operation, and a
likely Aloft in 2012, followed by St Regis Hotel and Residences.
Construction commenced in April 2009 and is set for completion
by end 2012.
