Kuala Lumpur, June, 2020 – Star
Residences, the city’s newest
benchmark for luxury living, continues
its award-winning, record-setting ways
with an artful entry into the Malaysia
Book of Records for the nation’s biggest
mosaic tiles wall mural art, that is visible
from up to two kilometers away.
The four-acre (1.62ha) Star Development
located on Jalan Yap Kwan Seng in the
KLCC Central Business District of Kuala
Lumpur with a gross development
value of RM3billion has bagged
several international awards namely
International Property Awards, London
for Best Apartment Design, Best Mixed-
Use Architecture Design and Mixed-Use
Development Concept; and Malaysia’s
BrandLaureate Best Brand Award,
in Signature Brand Property Luxury
Condominium category.
The monumental mural arts impart an
even stronger sense of place to the
development.
The three imposing 3-storey mural walls
with a combined length of 58.77meters
are installed on the highest floor of
the three towers comprising Star
Residences, a 57-storey tower and two
58-storey towers, including the Ascott
Star KLCC Kuala Lumpur. Residents
and guests can view the murals from
any of the three towers, while taking
in stunning views of the city from the
tallest residential property in the KLCC
enclave.
The developer of Star Development,
Alpine Return Sdn Bhd is a 50:50 joint
venture company between established
Malaysian property developers,
Symphony Life Bhd and United Malayan
Land Bhd (UM Land).
The stunning glass tile works in a bold
palette of platinum, gold, white and
black hark back to opulent Roman murals
but with a contemporary twist. Inspired
by nature, myth and environmental
conservations the abstract installation
was envisioned and conceptualized by
the Chief Executive Officer of Alpine
Return Sdn Bhd, Mr Alan Koh.
“Place making sets Star Residences
apart making it aspirational icon
of the KLCC area. We challenged
ourselves to create a visual narrative
that could capture the opulence,
elevation and brightness of Star
Residences hence the use of gold
and platinum. We believe that these
majestic glass tile mosaic mural walls
art, the longest and the tallest at an
elevation of over 250 meters are a
first in Malaysia, and possibly in the
region. This is a gift to our residents
and guests, and to visitors to Kuala
Lumpur as it is visible from afar.
While the Covid-19 pandemic has
significantly reduced tourists to the
city, the Star Development is certain
that better days are ahead,” Mr Alan
Koh says.
