KL Metropolis

KL Metropolis is a 75.5 acres (30.6 ha) mixed development situated nearby the Kuala Lumpur Courts Complex in the suburb of Segambut, Kuala Lumpur. The word "KL" from its name is short for Kuala Lumpur.[1] The development is a RM20 billion project that is envisioned to become the leading centre and district for international trade and exhibition of Kuala Lumpur, similar to the Tun Razak Exchange which on the other hand will become the city's financial district.[2] It will consist a total gross floor of 22,800,000 sq ft (2,120,000 m2). KL Metropolis will integrate trade, commerce, living, and transport in one bustling hub located within the big city which will be built in stages over a duration of 20 years.[3]
