BRDB and Award-Winning Heatherwick Studio to Unveil Community-Focused Development in Damansara Heights

The project will blend retail, residential, and community spaces to encourage an interconnected, people-centered living experience

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 18 April 2025 - BRDB, one of Malaysia's most trusted property developers for 60 years, has officially acquired the land at Kuala Lumpur's Wisma Damansara, marking the beginning of an architecturally-led mix-use development in partnership with world-renowned British design firm Heatherwick studio.

Strategically located near MRT Semantan, the development will serve as a gateway between Damansara Heights and the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The project will introduce an interconnected residential and retail experience that enriches the lives of those within.

Envisioning Community-Focused Urban Spaces in Kuala Lumpur

Heatherwick studio's debut project in Malaysia brings its signature human-centric design approach to one of Kuala Lumpur's most sought-after neighbourhoods. The retail component will offer a hybrid indoor-outdoor experience, mindfully blending natural landscapes with convenient amenities.

Poised to be a vibrant community hub, it will encourage social engagement, wellness, and a closer relationship with nature.

"This partnership with Heatherwick studio marks a transformative moment for BRDB and Malaysian architecture," said Dato' Sri Akbar Khan, Executive Chairman of BRDB. "This development is not just about redefining the skyline of Damansara Heights; it's about rethinking how people engage with urban spaces. As BRDB celebrates its 60th anniversary, we are committed to creating a legacy project that will evolve alongside the community and stand the test of time."

Thomas Heatherwick, Founder and Design Director of Heatherwick studio shared his excitement about the partnership. "We are thrilled to partner with BRDB for our first project in Malaysia. This is an exciting time in the region, and we hope to bring a joyful and impactful community hub to Damansara."
