The new business hub of KL

With its distinctive business address on Jalan Bangsar, unrivalled connectivity, and adaptable work spaces in various configurations, a move to Aspire Tower could very well be a step in the right direction for businesses.

As more and more businessmen growing interest in KL Fringe area over KL City Centre, Bangsar has also been growing more popular and trendy as a business location. It has become a stamp of social and entrepreneurial approval for an upstart to thrive in Bangsar, or for companies expanding to do so while embracing fresh, new ideas.

“Location, strong visibility of the company, clustering of related businesses, accessibility by roads or public transport and having sufficient carpark are among the key decision factors involved in purchasing an office,” shares Veena Loh, Director of Research & Consultancy of JLL Property Services.

KL Eco City offers an outstanding opportunity to tap the potential of the emerging new commercial hub, dubbed the New Golden Triangle, which extends from KL Sentral on Jalan Bangsar to Damansara City in Damansara Heights, encompassing also Bangsar, Pantai and Mid Valley City. At the heart of this New Golden Triangle sits KL Eco City which not only leverages on its highly strategic location but also adds value to this increasingly significant CBD by creating new standards in accessibility, design and architecture, functionality as well as rental rates.

Strategically situated at the heart of the integrated mixed-use development KL Eco City, Aspire Tower enjoys the perks of having direct access to the LRT-KTM integrated rail hub which comprises of the existing Abdullah Hukum LRT Station linked to the new KTM Komuter Station. One can hop on the KLIA Express easily from KL Sentral which is only two stations away from KL Eco City.

KL Eco City is also interconnected by major roads, and easily accessed with six new ramps and bridges towards Federal Highway, New Pantai Expressway (NPE), Jalan Maarof and Jalan Bangsar. An internal two-tier road system is also provided to ensure smoother incoming and outgoing traffic flow within the development.

Linked to Mid Valley City and an integrated KTM & LRT Rail Hub, KL Eco City’s superior connectivity is a key attraction.

“The presence of supporting services like hotel, a wide range of F&B in nearby retail malls and other related services provides convenience to the office tenants at KL Eco City,” says YY Lau, Country Head of JLL Property Services.

Connected to Mid Valley City via a pedestrian link bridge, KL Eco City has also attracted high-profile tenants from professional services, consumer electronics and new tech including Samsung Malaysia Electronics, Zurich Malaysia, F-Secure, Gibraltar BSN Life Berhad , Phillip Wain Malaysia, WeWork, Shopee, Klook, J&T Express, and Veolia Water.

“A well-developed transit-oriented development (TOD) is likely to see price appreciation as the development matures and more companies and individuals move to the TOD. Ownership enables the company to save substantial cost in the long term. In terms of business, a company owning the office in a TOD in the longer term will attract customers from those utilising the remaining mixed development due to the ease of transport,” YY Lau adds.

How much space would you like? You decide

“To weather through the after-effects of COVID-19, most businesses will be looking at cost- cutting measures to preserve cash and ensure business continuity,” shares Teh Young Khean, Executive Director of Corporate Services of Knight Frank Malaysia. “More office occupiers are seeking flexibility to allow them to stay nimble and avoid getting locked in long-term leases.”

Offering further insight, James Buckley, Knight Frank Malaysia’s Executive Director of Capital Markets, adds: “We find multi-national companies prefer the flexibility that comes with renting office premises whilst many local, established, companies see the advantages of long term ownership and the ability to build up equity over time, rather than paying out monthly rental.”
