Pentago were engaged by Lendlease to develop and detail the City Park from the concepts prepared by the international designers Oculus from Australia. The City Park will provide a key destination and landmark in Kuala Lumpur and is situated at the heart of the new TRX financial district. It is located on the rooftop of the Exchange Retail Mall and provides more than 10 acres of open space and will be the largest rooftop public park in South East Asia and in a handful of such places in the world. The City Park will be handed over to DBKL as a public park but will be directly managed by the developers as part of the overall TRX landscape.
It is designed as a multi leveled park on top of the roof and service buildings of the mall and provides a contemporary park space that integrates retail activation and a curated programme of activities. A key feature of the park is the central hub, a space that can host up to two and a half thousand people for events. The park landscape and planting design is inspired by different Malaysia habitats to provide a destination with a unique sense of place and a sustainable landscape.
