Finding a home in the heart of KL city centre is a dream cherished by many but can be elusive if you don’t know what, where and when to choose. As the saying goes, location is everything — with how rapidly things are shifting today, timing is also vital in buying property.

Buying the right property at the right time could be a life-changing decision. When opportunity knocks, property investors have to be ready to take advantage.

One project that is taking the market by storm and poised to transform the landscape of Kuala Lumpur is Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC), an ambitious and visionary development within the city’s coveted Golden Triangle.
Let’s take a look at 5 reasons why you should grab the chance to own a unit in BBCC’s Lucentia Residences – the first residential offering in BBCC – and make your homeownership dreams come true.

1. Unique game changer for KL-ites

Once in a lifetime, a development comes along that changes the city’s entire complexion, in more ways than one. Step into the BBCC, a prestigious development jointly developed by Eco World Development Berhad, Uda Holdings Berhad and Employees Provident Fund.

It is a state-of-the-art integrated development covering 19.4 acres in the Golden Triangle, a prime zone much sought after by residents, businesses and investors. The project is hotly tipped to change city living for its residents in exciting and profound ways.

BBCC will complement the city’s vibes with various extraordinary residential, commercial, entertainment and lifestyle offerings. You will be spoilt for choice as a property owner with all of the conveniences of city living and much more.

Phase 1 of the BBCC project—which translates to 50% of the whole development—is slated for completion in Q1 2022. This augurs well for the prospects of the BBCC and will boost investor confidence in this high-profile project. It will also raise the visibility of Kuala Lumpur among international as well as domestic investors.

BBCC will be a unique game-changer – for both property investors and visitors to KL!

2. Tourism revival on the horizon

The gradual lifting of the pandemic lockdown and travel restrictions recently is expected to pave the way for the recovery of the Malaysian economy. A sector that may rebound soon is tourism with many borders – domestic and international – expected to reopen next year.

BBCC could be one of the key beneficiaries of the tourism revival next year. There are plenty of tourist attractions to spur growth in the huge BBCC integrated development.

For example, the long-awaited Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport – the first in Southeast Asia – is set to become a new landmark in Kuala Lumpur when it opens next year. It is a joint venture between Mitsui Fudosan Asia and Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC) Development Sdn. Bhd. with a total built-up area of 1.4 million square feet.

Music and concert aficionados can also rejoice. BBCC will be welcoming the first Zepp brand concert hall outside Japan, called Zepp Kuala Lumpur. The RM100 million concert hall that will be built by Japan’s Zepp Hall Network Inc – a subsidiary of Sony Entertainment (Japan) Inc in Southeast Asia–will be the main anchor for BBCC’s entertainment hub, which will also include a multi-hall cineplex, a grand bazaar (Malaysian Grand Bazaar) and a banquet hall.

Apart from the Zepp Hall, the Malaysia Grand Bazaar (MGB) is another highly-anticipated attraction actualised by BBCC. With the aim of creating a local art and cultural centre, the artisan mall will offer a dedicated platform for start-up entrepreneurs to promote their products. From artisanal handcraft items and tradition-inspired creations, to authentic local cuisine, MGB aspires to showcase all of Malaysia’s uniqueness under one roof. No doubt, with BBCC the vibrancy of KL’s tourism industry will be uplifted a notch further!

3. Skyscraping and financial landmarks

The arrival of the 118-storey PNB 118 building—set to smash the record as Malaysia’s tallest building when it is completed—and Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) —a 70-acre financial district that is destined to become the country’s primary financial hub—will be a game-changer for BBCC.

Not only will they add another tourism dimension for Kuala Lumpur’s residents and visitors, but they are also expected to boost the value of properties in the vicinity, especially BBCC as it sits right in the centre of the action. The various initiatives that have been undertaken by the government in attracting foreign investment will complement BBCC in terms of capital and rental appreciation.

Overall, the potential upside to potential buyers of Lucentia Residences is tremendous. All these will combine to spur investing prospects in KL to new heights, literally!

4. Easy access and connectivity

Any KL-ites worth their salt will attest to the importance of transportation in and out of the city. Ease of access and connectivity have become vital components of any major property development.
BBCC ticks this box in a big way. It is a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) connected by the Mass Rail Transit (MRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Monorail lines. This makes life easier for residents, commuters and visitors to the area.

If you prefer to drive your way around town to enjoy the roadside views, BBCC is easily accessible to other major areas in the Klang Valley through several highways; Or if you’re a frequent traveller, the airport is just a train ride away. Overall, you are spoilt for choice in travelling options if you live in Lucentia Residences.

Enjoy your zigzagging around town with ease, comfort and convenience!

5. First-class facilities and amenities

Lucentia Residences offer facilities that befit BBCC’s stature as a world-class integrated development. The two conjoined towers that soar to 47 and 35 floors respectively will have separate, private dedicated entrances. Both of the towers will share a facility deck—owners of Lucentia Residences can take advantage of over 40 types of modern facilities at 4 levels. All units are fully fitted and owners are offered 1-3 car parks per unit.

To embrace the dynamic outdoor life, you can go to the two-tier podium deck on level 3A. You can also immerse yourself in an array of lifestyle and entertainment offerings while enjoying grand views of the brilliant city skylines.

With such diverse facilities, owners of Lucentia Residences can look forward to an exciting community living in Kuala Lumpur.

The vibrant heart of the city will be much more alive and kicking!
