Platinum Park — KL’s trendiest hub

- Sharen Kaur

Park Skyviews, at Level 48 to 50 of the helical-shaped Naza Tower at Platinum Park, is set to be the newest and trendiest hub for dining and entertainm­ent in the city centre.

Located on 3.64ha of freehold land,

Platinum Park is an integrated mixed developmen­t by Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd.

The developmen­t started in 2009 with three Grade-A offices towers, namely Naza Tower, Menara Felda and Menara TH, having been developed.

Platinum Park Skyviews is anchored by Jakarta-based culinary and entertainm­ent giant, Ismaya Group.

Ismaya started its first culinary outlet Blowfish Kitchen and Bar in Jakarta in 2003. Today, it owns 27 brands and over 100 outlets in Indonesia, Shanghai and Dubai.

The set-up on Level 50 of Platinum Park Skyviews, where Ismaya has opened Dragonfly; which is one of its oldest brands, and Blackbyrd Dine & Lounge; its newest food and beverage concept, is a first investment for the group in Malaysia.

Naza TTDI deputy executive chairman and group managing director SM Faliq SM Nasimuddin said the latest additions to the Platinum Park tenant mix further amplifies its position as the next “big” address for Kuala Lumpur.

“We started Platinum Park in 2009. It was a challenge initially when the office spaces were developed. We built three office towers and now have a wide range of local and internatio­nal tenants. We have attracted premium brands such as Ferrari.

“Even Crazy Rich Asians shot one of their movie scenes here at Blvd House, which is operated by Naza and located at the ground floor. Now we have Ismaya Group. Their outlets at Platinum Park Skyviews will boost the dining and entertainm­ent scene of Platinum Park.

“We will be announcing a new tenant soon which has been named one of Asia’s Top 50 Restaurant­s for 2019,” said SM Faliq during a special preview recently at Blank.Space on Level 48.

He said the idea to convert the top three floors of Naza Tower into a dining and entertainm­ent area is to allow more people to enjoy the views from high up.

“From up here, there is a 360-degree view of the iconic city skyline from Petronas Twin Towers to the Royal Selangor Golf Club. Platinum Park Skyviews

will offer compelling experience­s in nightlife, gourmet dining and events amid a breathtaki­ng view of the city skyline,” said SM Faliq.

The other significan­t features at Platinum Park are its greenscape designs and sculptures by Nizam Abdullah.
