QUILL CITY MALL, KUALA LUMPUR
Quill City
The project was originally developed by RHB-Daewoo Sdn Bhd, [3] a former direct subsidiary of Rashid Hussain Berhad. [4] Its partially completed phase one components, composed of three high rise blocks, was one of numerous abandoned and partially completed projects in the city. The Duta Grand Hyatt and Plaza Rakyat were other notable ones. Financial difficulties faced by the original developer resulted in the abandonment of the Vision City development project. [2]
The partially completed and abandoned components of Vision City included a retail mall block, a high rise office block, and an apartment block. These uncompleted portions were acquired by developer Quill Retail Malls in 2007, and the entire project was renamed Quill City. [2] [5] The retail building was completed as the Quill City Mall, which opened on 16 October 2014. [6] Quill planned to launch the residential building project sometime in 2014, and the 40-storey office tower later. [2]
Design [ edit ]
The pre-approved development order for the original Vision City project includes the construction of a seven-level retail centre with a net lettable area of 752,000 sq ft (69,900 m 2 ), and a 35-story office tower with 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m 2 ) of net lettable area, a 45-storey 450-unit serviced apartment block and 2,280 car park lots. [7] [8] In August 2009, Sparch Architects revealed their proposed design for the retail mall redevelopment, which features a garden in a naturally-ventilated sheltered cut-through at the central portion of the mall.
