Tradewinds Centre Kuala Lumpur

Tradewinds Corporation Bhd will begin redevelopment of its 2.8ha site currently occupied by the Crowne Plaza Mutiara Kuala Lumpur and Kompleks Antarabangsa in 2013. The new development known as Tradewinds Centre, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), would comprise 'Grade A+' offices, a 24-storey corporate block, a large-scale 14-storey medical centre, retail offices, serviced apartments and hotel, where the centrepiece would be a central plaza and a 65-storey skyscraper complimented by a 54-storey residences. Tradewinds Centre explicitly seeks to establish itself with many exciting features that will enhance and expand the city's growing modern qualities, similar to Rockefeller Center for New York, Roppongi Hills for Tokyo or Pacific Place of Hong Kong.

The development will be vibrant and active at all times through its complex program mix. Its signature profile will greatly contribute to the overall composition of the city skyline. Its large scale and memorable public plaza unites neighborhoods in the urban fabric, creating a system of pedestrian friendly movement that is integrated with the public transportation system. The architecture of the buildings establishes connections with traditions of Kuala Lumpur's rich history by linking Islamic pattern making to its modern exterior design. Its sustainable strategy will make the building a leader in environmental design.
