Lendlease makes significant progress on key projects in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur, 14 September 2017 – Key Lendlease projects in Malaysia have achieved significant milestones this month. This reinforces the international property group’s confidence in the growing market of Malaysia and commitment to develop large scale sustainable projects locally. The Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) Lifestyle Quarter has obtained approvals and moved into the construction phase of the development. With its international expertise, Lendlease is working with TRX City Sdn Bhd and our local partners to ensure that the TRX Lifestyle Quarter enhances Kuala Lumpur’s role as a major business and financial hub serving Malaysia and South East Asia. Similarly, Setia City Mall is now entering its next phase of expansion, expected to cover a wider catchment area when completed in 2019. Works at the Tun Razak Exchange Lifestyle Quarter in full swing Lendlease has received all approvals to progress the TRX Lifestyle Quarter to the next stage. This includes the Earthworks Plan Approval from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to proceed with construction at the site in June this year. Over the course of the last two years, over 100 leading architects, engineers and consultants from Malaysia and select international firms have been working closely together on the design for the development. This has resulted in over 5,000 project drawings, all modelled in a BIM (Building Information Modelling) system. With the approvals, works at the TRX Lifestyle Quarter, a 17-acre mixed use development comprising a new city centre retail mall, six residential towers, a luxury hotel and park are now in full swing. The excavation has been completed, with over 700,000 cubic meters of rock and earth removed. Piling for the retail component is progressing well with almost 500 structural piles completed. Lendlease’s progress is fully aligned to the government’s vision to develop the largest integrated development in Asia within Kuala Lumpur’s financial centre, the Tun Razak Exchange. The TRX Lifestyle Quarter project offers a large scale retail destination with over 1.3 million square feet of Nett Lettable Area. On the leasing front of the retail component, The Exchange TRX has to date leased 26% of its retail space to include Seibu, a new-to-market Lendlease Projects (M) Sdn Bhd, Company No. 305506-K Level 31, Menara Binjai, 2 Jalan Binjai, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia www.lendlease.com Japanese departmental store, an upscale supermarket brand by Dairy Farm Group of Hong Kong as well as a new concept in cinema and entertainment by Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC).

The Exchange TRX will host over 500 shops, restaurants, entertainment and leisure experiences, revolutionising retail destinations in Malaysia, and is expected to be open for customers by 2020. “The Exchange TRX will provide new retail offerings including exciting food and beverage concepts, an entertainment precinct and a significant leisure focus; a well-connected and active residential development at the heart of the next financial hub; and unrivalled green spaces. This includes a 10-acre rooftop park with interactive public spaces embedded throughout the development that will play a huge role in contributing to one of the city’s most highly anticipated destinations and create a new and exciting place for Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia,” said Stuart Mendel, Managing Director of the TRX Lifestyle Quarter. TRX Residences will provide residents a modern, luxurious and private sanctuary within the city with close to 900 homes in the first phase, which is forecast to be on sale after Chinese New Year. The TRX Lifestyle Quarter will be seamlessly connected to the largest underground Mass Rapid Train (MRT) station in Kuala Lumpur, housing MRT lines 1 and 2; immediate access to Maju Expressway (MEX) and the SMART tunnel (Stormwater Management And Road Tunnel), as well as direct access to the major protocol roads of Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Sultan Ismail.
