LaLaport BBCC brings to life design that combines modern simplicity and Japanese flavour, making it conducive and pleasant for shoppers to spend the entire day.

UDA Holdings, EcoWorld and EPF join forces to create a new catalyst development

The bustling and thriving Bukit Bintang district has got a fresh development that will excite its visitors and catch the attention of property owners and investors. 

Set to complement the district’s cosmopolitan grandeur, Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC) is an on-going and sustainably designed masterpiece where work, play, shopping, dining, entertainment and more seamlessly fuse to convey a truly self-sufficient lifestyle. A winner of the Malaysia Developer Awards (MDA) 2023, it is jointly developed by UDA Holdings Bhd (UDA), Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld) and Employee Provident Fund (EPF) with an estimated gross development value of RM8.7bil.

Located at the intersection of three train stations, namely Hang Tuah monorail, Hang Tuah LRT and the Merdeka MRT, BBCC now sports the completed developments of Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport BBCC (Lalaport), Entertainment Hub, the 46-storey The Stride Strata Offices, both towers of Lucentia Residences totalling 666 units of serviced apartments and the BBCC Transit Hub that houses the Hang Tuah Monorail and LRT stations. In the meantime, on-going constructions are the Mitsui Serviced Suites and SWNK Houze, a 30-storey tower with 441 units of serviced apartments directly connected to the BBCC Transit Hub through a covered pedestrian bridge. Other developments in the pipeline are the integrated skyscraper Signature Tower and an office block. 

BBCC comprises six blocks of serviced apartments, a retail and entertainment block, serviced residences, strata and corporate offices.

“The strategic development of BBCC ensures economic success and eventual commercial vibrancy of this redevelopment and something for all Malaysians can be rightfully proud of,” said UDA chief executive officer Mohd Salem Kailany. “We are truly excited about the BBCC development as it has all the hallmarks of an iconic integrated development that Kuala Lumpur can be proud of,” he added. 

BBCC's concept of mixed-use development comprising residential, commercial, retail and entertainment makes it a very attractive proposition for investors and businesses. Being located in one of the most prime and sought-after areas in the city adds prestige to the development. But more than just prestige, it is also highly connected and walkable with three train stations nearby and linked up by the Transit Hub. BBCC is surrounded by many high-quality amenities within Bukit Bintang, as well as having the Petronas Twin Towers and the Kuala Lumpur Tower within a short distance. 

Designed with a distinctive theme combining modern simplicity and Japanese flavour, LaLaport BBCC brings style to life with a warm interior design conducive for shoppers to spend the entire day in comfort. The mall is replete with natural light, plenty of pedestrian linkages, wooden elements and earthy tones. There are also unique features that distinguish the mall from others in the vicinity such as The Grand Steps, Curvilinear Facades, Pudu Prison Entrance, WOW Plaza and the Rooftop Garden. 

The Entertainment Hub lives up to its name by housing a concert venue, Zepp KL by Sony Entertainment, a roofed street-style retail centre, Malaysia Grand Bazaar (MGB), a 12-screen cineplex by Golden Screen Cinemas and a banquet hall for up to 1,200 people. 

The Stride Strata Office is a contemporary office space, featuring top-of-the-line facilities and is Green Building Index (GBI) certified. 

Not forgetting sustainability, BBCC is equipped with features such as green roofs, rainwater harvesting and energy-efficient lighting making it an environmentally friendly development.

Leveraging the know-how of UDA, a government-linked company with a long history of developing successful projects, and EcoWorld, a leading private developer with a proven track record of delivering quality developments, BBCC is a collaboration that brings together the strengths of both parties to create a project that is both ambitious and achievable. 

“We are honoured to have been recognised by StarProperty with an MDA Special Award (Joint Venture Development) for our Bukit Bintang City Centre project. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and we are grateful for the support of our partners, EcoWorld and the Employees Provident Fund,” Salem said. 

The roof-top garden at BBCC offers a panoramic city view and a green space within the city.
