At that time, the concept of high-rise living was completely alien to Malaysians. Yet, thanks to Tan & Tan’s delivery of quality workmanship with top- notch amenities, Desa Kudalari was a rousing success and helped change perceptions in the country. Another milestone was achieved 02 in 1988, when MiCasa All Suite Hotel was opened to the public.
