Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) and Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) have teamed up to drive the Shah Alam Sentral (SA Sentral) development project.
PKNS group chief executive officer Datuk Mahmud Abbas and Shah Alam mayor Datuk Mohd Fauzi Mohd Yatim signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to solidify the five-year partnership.
With the agreement, Mahmud said both parties aimed to transform Shah Alam into a high-tech, low-carbon, and revitalised city.
“This strategic collaboration between PKNS and MBSA marks the beginning of the transformation of Sections 13 and 14 in Shah Alam.
“These historical areas will be given a new lease of life to remain relevant and dynamic in today’s development landscape.
“As a rapidly growing city, this highlights the need for modern infrastructure, efficient public amenities, and sustainable as well as inclusive housing development,” he said after the signing ceremony at Galeria SA Sentral in Shah Alam, Bernama reported.
Mahmud said the SA Sentral development spanned over 52ha and would be implemented based on the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept, encompassing modern residential areas, recreation, food and beverage shops and senior living facilities.
The project is expected to be completed by 2031.
He added that the PKNS Complex in Shah Alam would also undergo upgrades.
As for the Aneka Walk development project adjacent to the iconic shopping mall, Mahmud said it was expected to be completed and operational by the fourth quarter of this year.
“Aneka Walk is designed as a modern lifestyle destination that integrates retail, recreation, and entrepreneurship elements within an inclusive and community-friendly environment.
“In addition, Plaza Perangsang will also be redeveloped into a hotel centre, and PKNS will soon sign an agreement with Grand Mercure as the operator,” he said.
Launched last September, the SA Sentral project has a gross development value (GDV) of RM3bil.
This high-impact project involves the development of Plaza Alam Sentral, Plaza Perangsang, SACC Mall, SACC Walk, PKNS Shah Alam Complex, Shah Alam Convention Centre (SACC) and several areas in Section 14.
