KUALA LUMPUR (July 7): In our cover story this week, we look at the SS16 neighbourhood in Subang Jaya. Zoned as a commercial area, it houses commercial and office developments such as Subang Parade mall, Nu Empire Shopping Gallery, Menara Mesiniaga, AEON BiG Subang Jaya, Wisma Consplant 1 and Wisma Consplant 2. Over the years, its landscape has changed as more serviced apartments come up in the area. 

Real estate consultants Nawawi Tie Leung Sdn Bhd managing director Eddy Wong and PA International Property Consultants (KL) Sdn Bhd managing director Subramaniam Amurugam dives deep into the prospects of SS16, as new and upcoming developments such as Sime Darby Property Bhd’s (KL:SIMEPROP) Subang Jaya City Centre is expected to boost the area.

In the same issue, we have a Designworks story on Malaysia’s tallest building — Merdeka 118. Designed by Melbourne-based Fender Katsalidis Architects, Merdeka 118 was designed as a major monument, marking the celebrated moment and place where Tunku Abdul Rahman declared an independent Malaya on Aug 31, 1957.
