The elevated walkway will of course link to the entrances of BB underground station.
Need TR guys to confirm though, sound to good to be true...

GAMUDA Land's upcoming project, The Robertson, is set to transform the skyline of busy Jalan Pudu in Kuala Lumpur. The mixed-use development, with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM670 million, sits on three acres of freehold land and will comprise two blocks of serviced apartments — one of 41 storeys and the other, 45 storeys — as well as a 10-storey commercial complex and a row of 2½-storey shoplots.

A pull factor will be accessibility as the site is within walking distance to current and future mass rapid transit (MRT) and light rail transit (LRT) stations.

"The proposed MRT stations at the upcoming Warisan Merdeka Station and the Bukit Bintang Station will be 550m and 800m respectively from the project. It is about a 600m walk to the Hang Tuah Monorail Station and a 630m stroll to the Plaza Rakyat LRT Station. The area is also within walking distance to popular shopping attractions at Jalan Bukit Bintang and Petaling Street/Chinatown," says Gamuda Land managing director Chow Chee Wah.[SIZE=14]

"This is a good area for people such as expatriates who don't own a car or prefer to move around using public transport."

The developer is planning to launch the project, which is pending building plan approval, in 2Q2013.

The distance is neither short nor long to every other station. Can be pros and cons.

Good as in not directly beside the station which means the flow of people transiting would not be right within proximity. However, not desirable for the proposed mall as it would need traffic flow unless it has its special catchment that could attract visitors.

That's why it's important to have dedicated walkway, like the elevated walkway from bukit bintang to klcc. Imagine try to walk from Robertson to Hang Tuah mono rail going up and going down hill under Malaysian humidity, that's too difficult for the expats.

"The proposed MRT stations at the upcoming Warisan Merdeka Station and the Bukit Bintang Station will be 550m and 800m respectively from the project. "

i think this is measured from plan. hence conversion to walking distance would be a lot more.



"It is about a 600m walk to the Hang Tuah Monorail Station and a 630m stroll to the Plaza Rakyat LRT Station."

this is real distance from walking. 600m isn't that bad but if it's sheltered then it's much more tolerable.

That's y hoverboard is important, get one !

too risky and subject to weather.
i prefer a chauffeur.

I saw someone using it in his condo and neighbourhood recently, although I am not too certain about the practicality.

passed by today. the neighbour is a real eyesore.

Plaza Rakyat?
Noticed that the water has been pump out...
Structure integrity check is underway...
Hope it will be revived soonest possible...

Looks good. Dunno the progress is fast or slow? Another 2 years to go.

there go again 15% progress.

Saw this on their website. Progress of the covered walkway.

Is this by Gamuda? I tot this is by DBKL...

This part of pathway dont really need cover, this side is well shaded by the big trees...

at least something than nothing

I found this from GL's website. So it must be from them right? This is a public walkway, so I guess must be a jv with DBKL.
