YTL Land recognised for architecture excellence at 2011 PAM awards

By Sharen Kaur

YTL Land & Development Bhd, the property arm of YTL Corp Bhd recently won three awards for its innovative concepts and design for its projects in Kuala Lumpur, at the recent PAM (Malaysian Institute of Architects) Awards 2011.
 
The developer won two Gold awards for Centrio in Pantai Hillpark for high-rise residential, and YTL Communications Centre in Sentul Park. For d7 at Sentul East, YTL clinched a Silver award in the commercial building category.
 
At the time of launch, YTL Land's branded properties are constantly well-received by the market because of its innovative concepts, designs and layout.

An example includes the successful sell-out of d7 where all 100 units were snapped up in just one hour of its pre-launch sales. Launched at a starting price of RM380 per sq ft, d7 is currently valued at RM700 per sq ft.
d7 is a stunning piece of 7-storey architecture conceptualised to redefine traditional office spaces that are uniform and homogeneous in form and character.


Completed in December 2010, d7 features an iconic form - bold, simple and with a severe façade that is set to invigorate Sentul by infusing a new vibrancy into n area treasured for its rich historical background and business heritage.

"The more than 50-year experience that we have had especially in construction, has allowed us to emerge on strong footings and guided us towards our accomplishments as a property developer," said YTL Land executive director, Datuk Yeoh Seok Kian.

"Not only has it given us the luxury of being creative with our designs, but also the expertise to ensure they are safely built, at an affordable and manageable cost; in turn, passing on valuable returns to our buyers," he said.
 

Centrio is an exclusive hub of SOHO (Small Office, Home Office) suites, boutique offices and trendy retail stores that brings a new age of working and living to the Pantai Hillpark address.  Designed as modular sculptures that form rectilinear geometry, Centrio features unique spaces that include cosy office suites that open out to garden views, spacious and stylish SOHO suites that offer open sundecks, and tranquil private gardens.








Besides the PAM Award, Centrio has won four other awards at CNBC Asia Pacific Property Awards 2009 for ‘Best Mixed Development’ and ‘The Architecture Award’ under the Commercial category and ‘Best Architecture’ and ‘Best Property Marketing’ in the Residential category. 


YTL Communications Centre’s PAM Gold award for Adaptive Re-Use pays tribute to Sentul’s railway heritage where a former railway workshop that dates back to 1906 is today, the state-of-the-art nerve centre for WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) in Malaysia housing the Data Centre,
Laboratories & Support Offices for YTL's 4G services – YES.
 
The PAM Awards is the premier award for architecture in Malaysia, honouring contributions made by architects, clients/owners and builders/contractors for architectural design excellence and advancement of quality built environment.
