KUALA LUMPUR: The beloved eCurve mall in Mutiara Damansara is preparing to bid farewell as it gets ready for demolition to make way for a new residential project named The Lines.
The iconic mall, which opened its doors in 2006, ceased operations in March 2021 in anticipation of redevelopment.
According to reports, the demolition is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2024 (2Q24).
Khairul Azizi Ismail, the chief executive officer of Boustead Properties Bhd, reportedly stated that the decision to redevelop eCurve is part of a larger plan to rejuvenate Mutiara Damansara.
He emphasized that this aligns with global urban regeneration trends, aiming to create a more dynamic and sustainable environment for the community.
Khairul suggested that transforming eCurve into a serviced-apartment development would be most advantageous, given its strategic location next to the Mutiara Damansara MRT station.
The area is also surrounded by various commercial properties such as The Curve, IPC Shopping Centre, Kidzania, Ikea, Lotus hypermarket, as well as hotels like Royale Chulan Damansara and Royale Chulan The Curve.
The Lines, a serviced apartment complex, is expected to be launched in 3Q24.
The project will comprise four towers – three with 749 units targeting the open market, and one with 250 units designated under the Servis Apartment Mampu Milik (SAMM) affordable housing scheme.
Additionally, there will be 50 units of retail lots covering approximately 100,000 sq ft, to be occupied by a wellness centre and various retail stores, all owned and managed by Boustead Properties.
Standing at 67 storeys, the tower is designed with seniors in mind, featuring wider doors, accessible bathrooms, and gentle slopes.
Furthermore, the development integrates environmental sustainability with electric vehicle chargers, rainwater harvesting, and waste management systems.
It has been reported that The Lines sales gallery is currently open for private preview and is scheduled to open to the public in June 2024.
