KLCC Master Plan
The 1995 KLCC Master Plan conceptualized by Tun. Dr. Mahathir and reviewed by Cesar Pelli Architect had
transformed the “old” Kuala Lumpur into a world renowned precinct.

(1997), PETRONAS Twin Towers (1997), Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur (1998), KL Convention Centre,
Traders Hotel and Impiana (2005) and Menara 3 PETRONAS (2010) had transformed the KL Skyline
permanently
Revised Development Strategy for Future Development
Urban Catalyst
The revised 1995 KLCC master plan and the revised Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan (KLSP) 2020 had transformed the urban land use strategies to allow for higher density new
development.
The KLCC Development had induced the growth of other skyscrapers in close proximity and will continue to be the
catalyst of growth in the city.

The “Old Kuala Lumpur”
There are no spectacular buildings in the “old” Kuala Lumpur in the early 70s, except for the redevelopment of old shop houses into low rise commercial buildings.
Malaysians can only be proud of the Parliament Building and the then 35-storey Menara Dayabumi which was completed in 1984.
The famous Selangor Turf Club which spans over 100 acres of land along Jalan Ampang was the only landmark in the central business district of the “Old Kuala Lumpur”.

Design to revise the

• 3 new lots are included as part of the revised Master Plan • Transfer of development rights to undeveloped lots are
still recognized by the local authorities • The revised KLCC Master Plan indirectly allows the KLCC
master developer to have higher buildings • The possibility of redevelopment of previous development
overall gross floor area was increased from 18.3 million square feet to 25.7 million square feet
