PTLM has received confirmation that a New World Class landmark is set to be developed by M101 Holdings Group in Kuala Lumpur. Tentatively called "M101° The SkyWheel", the new twin office suites towers are located adjacent to Setia Sky Residences.

They will soar 65- and 63-storeys overlooking the panoramic skyline consisting of the Petronas Twin Towers and the City's Golden Triangle.

The development will also introduce Malaysia's first sky-retail floors and Malaysia's highest Ferris Wheel (for observatory and tourism) at Level 49 of the tower structure.

Being nicknamed the "new kid on the block" by a business weekly, M101 Holdings Group is certainly ready to rock Kuala Lumpur's urban landscape with redefining concepts.

Thus far, the company has launched two products which are M101 Dang Wangi and M101 Bukit Bintang. Both will be managed by Best Western International hotel chains.

Project is confirmed.

But this project is NOT next to Yut Kee. (the next is this project's eldest sister)

The tallest ferris wheel in Southeast Asia. Hahahaha.

Share with me some details.

The wheel is mentioned in their Development Order.

However, I'm not sure if this can be approved. Safety is really one of the big issue. Sumore it's standing on a building.

This ferris wheel is standing above 40th floor yo. Not to be compared to that shopping mall.

Nope.

Thread title updated.

The developer is a well known lawyer in KL. But no comment from that.

Anyhow, there is a huge misunderstanding and over-sell.

Can anyone tell me whether Studio F. A. Porsche is the architect for the whole project, or just an Interior Designer for a certain no. of units within the development? These are 2 different things yo!

M101 on track to launch 10 projects worth RM4 bil by 2020

PETALING JAYA (Jan 22): M101 Holdings Sdn Bhd is forging ahead with its plans to launch 10 projects worth RM4 billion by 2020, according to Datuk Chua Eng Pu, founder and executive director of the company.

“We aim to launch a total of 10 projects by the end of 2020, with a gross development value (GDV) of RM4 billion. Our strength lies in developing metropolitan projects within Kuala Lumpur, including integrated and commercial developments. Our primary goal is to maximise our footprint and to make a statement with our projects,” said Chua at the launch of its latest project, M101 SkyWheel yesterday.

The group, however, remains tight-lipped on the details of upcoming projects. “We are still waiting on building approvals,” he explained.

Despite the slow market, the developer stays positive in launching new projects. “Investment in retail property remains strong, and M101 believes that it is not enough to just build. It is crucial that developers realise the full potential of our real estate sector, and their part in economic and social development in Malaysia,” said Datuk Seth Yap Ting Hau, who is also a founder and executive director of M101 Holdings.

“M101 Skywheel will not only attract foreign investments but also visitors from around the globe. We are confident that this iconic building will be on top of the list for those who would like to invest in Kuala Lumpur. We are targetting at least [a] 70% take up for this project this year,” added Chua.

M101 SkyWheel is the group’s third and largest instalment of the M101 development series so far, which encompasses mainly small offices/flexible offices (SoFo) targeted towards local and foreign investors.

M101 SkyWheel has a GDV of RM1.4 billion. The freehold, two 78-storey towers offer 200,000 sq ft of retail space. M101 SkyWheel is named after a proposed ferris-wheel on the 52nd floor (at its highest vantage point).

The development also has a SkyMall that extends from the 48th to 52nd floor and Asia’s first Planet Hollywood Hotel.

The group has partnered with Studio F. A. Porsche for its interior design and luxury suites.

According to M101 Holdings, prices of commercial units at M101 SkyWheel are likely to start from RM400,000 per unit, depending on market conditions within the next five years. However, the number of units have yet to be confirmed.

M101 SkyWheel is expected to be completed in 2020.

Previously, the group has launched M101 Dang Wangi and M101 Bukit Bintang in 2014. Estimated to be comple

One of Malaysia's top architectural firm - Veritas Architects is the lead architect here.

The project designer is local firm VERITAS Architects.

Studio F.A. Porsche is the ID consultant for one of the component only. I guess you know which component is this that they are hyping about.

The buildings are now 80- and 81-storey tall.

Studio F.A. is not an architecture firm, they are interior designer as mentioned and they provided concepts for the Planet Hollywood component and the general facade.

Concept architect and submission architect is by Veritas Architects Sdn Bhd. You can see the notice board at the site.



Just google "M101 Architecture by Veritas Architects".

Commercially or sales talk is 78. Last "inhabited" floor will be named Level 78.

But latest technical info as of end April is 80 and 81 due to certain M&E floors, mezzanine floors and ground floor.

Actually Dato bought the Planet Hollywood franchise.

Somehow I also think the mall will have a problem. Perhaps the mall will more cater to tourists and selling souvenirs and simple conveniences.

Got a big piling machine there now i think
