In January 2011, KLCC Properties Holdings Berhad (KLCCP) awarded an RM665mil contract for the superstructure to Daewoo Engineering and Construction, which began building the top structure in March 2009.[3] The retail mall section is expected to be ready by 2010, followed by the office block component by October 2011.[4][5] The office tower will house 840,000 square feet (78,000 m2) net lettable office space, while the retail portion of the building will measure 140,000 square feet (13,000 m2). The development will also feature a tunnel link to the adjacent Lot D1, KLCC for future development.[6]
