PETALING JAYA: Kompleks Arena Seremban, a RM250mil integrated development, has officially opened its doors in Seremban.
Developed by Karisma Perwira Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of the Lee Tian Hock Yong Chou Lian (L) Foundation, the project occupies 4.45 acres with a total built-up area of 650,000 sq ft, featuring five integrated components: the Karisma Arena, Arena Premier Hotel, Menara Karisma, Arena Square and Arena Residences.
The centrepiece of the development is Karisma Arena, a seven-storey indoor stadium with a seating capacity of 3,000.
Bookings for the venue will be available from next month.
Another major component of the development is the Arena Premier Hotel, a 99-room facility with meeting halls, a coffee house and basement parking.
The commercial component is made up of Menara Karisma, a seven-storey office block with four floors of workspace and dedicated parking and Arena Square, offering 10 commercial units.
Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd
, which is managing the project, said Kompleks Arena Seremban is designed as a community and lifestyle hub capable of hosting concerts, cultural events, indoor sports, eSports, corporate seminars and family-oriented programmes.
The opening of the complex on June 28, which was attended by Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun, signified the realisation of Datuk Seri Lee Tian Hock’s vision to deliver a vibrant five-in-one destination that blends business, hospitality, lifestyle, and community under one address, Karisma Perwira said in a statement.
At the launch, Lee said Kompleks Arena Seremban represents a long-term commitment to contribute meaningfully to the growth of Negri Sembilan.
“This is more than a development; it is a community hub designed to bring people together, be it for business, leisure, culture, or recreation,” he said.
Meanwhile, Aminuddin said the opening of the integrated development marked an important milestone in Negri Sembilan’s urban development agenda.
“As the first purpose-built arena of its kind in Seremban, it enhances the township’s infrastructure and supports the state government’s vision to foster vibrant, liveable townships that offer economic opportunities, lifestyle enrichment, and social well-being for the people.
“We believe this development will not only serve the needs of our communities today, but also strengthen Seremban’s appeal as a destination for tourism, investment, sports and regional growth,” he said.
The complex had been master-planned to support a diverse range of activities, positioning Seremban as an emerging destination for concerts and cultural performances, international and local sporting events, eSports and fitness expos, corporate launches, seminars and business functions, as well as festivals, family-day events and educational programmes.
“By offering modern infrastructure, strategic accessibility, and purpose-built facilities, the Kompleks Arena Seremban is poised to attract local and international visitors, creating economic spillover and positioning Seremban as a dynamic hub for commerce, lifestyle, and tourism,” Karisma Perwira said.
As the Kompleks Arena Seremban opens its doors, it stands as a testament to forward-looking development that balances commercial ambition with community enrichment, supporting Negri Sembilan’s broader growth aspirations.
