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.

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.
