Bukit Bintang City Centre

Kuala Lumpur


Located on the site of the old Pudu Jail, construction is underway on this ambitious complex featuring a shopping mall, a concert hall, a 1.2-hectare rooftop public park and an 80-floor signature tower. Only the original entrance gate to the jail remains and it's all due to be completed by 2025.
