Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB), via its unit Semasa Sentral Sdn Bhd, has spent some RM4 million out of its RM13.8 million budget for the renovation of Stesen Sentral Kuala Lumpur (KL Sentral).
To date, completed upgrades include flooring tiles, restrooms, overall station lighting safety surveillance and the VIP lounge at the transportation hub, according to Imran Salim, Chief Operating Officer of MRCB.
“We intend to speed up (the remaining) upgrading works at KL Sentral and complete the construction of the Nu Sentral retail mall, which will enhance the level of convenience for commuters in line with other ongoing development works in the overall KL Sentral CBD,” Imran said.
MRCB also plans to finish the construction of Nu Sentral two to three months earlier than the previously targeted date of end-2013.
The seven-level retail mall, which is a 49:51 venture between Pelaburan Hartanah Bhd and MRCB, is being developed simultaneously with the refurbishment at KL Sentral, which commenced in September 2011,
“The upgrading proposals have been presented to the relevant authorities to cater for the long-term use of the station as an increased number of commuters and patrons is expected (to commute from KL Sentral) when the mass rapid transit (MRT) line is in operation.”
The upgrading works will include internal and external signage at KL Sentral to reduce confusion once Nu Sentral opens.
“We are targeting to finish this in one or two months,” said Imran.
Furthermore, MRCB will also put up six pedestrian bridges connecting KL Sentral and Nu Sentral, Sooka Sentral, Q Sentral, Platinum Sentral, and the monorail and MRT stations for the convenience of its visitors and customers.
