DISCIPLINES

Star Residences rises along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng as a landmark mixed-use development, bridging the dynamic energy of Kuala Lumpur’s urban core with the emerging adjacent residential precinct. Combining residential, hospitality and retail programs, the project establishes a contemporary urban gateway defined by lifestyle, spectacle, and a meticulously crafted public realm.

ARCHITECTURE

The development comprises two residential towers—Tower 1 at 57 storeys and Tower 2 at 58 storeys—Ascott Star KLCC serviced residences, and Star Boulevard, a retail spine with five six-storey blocks dedicated to food, beverage and entertainment. Strategically positioned within walking distance of LRT and future MRT stations, as well as prominent retail destinations such as Suria KLCC, Pavilion KL, and Avenue K, Star Residences enhances connectivity and encourages sustainable urban mobility.

Star Residences draws inspiration from regional artisanal traditions, including textiles, pattern work, and architectural ornamentation, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Its signature star-shaped kinetic feature—comprising 88,000 stainless-steel plates—animates the development with a shimmering kinetic façade that has garnered international acclaim. Vertical Mondrian-inspired curtain walls add depth and rhythm, while rooftop mosaic murals depicting motifs such as polar bears, butterflies, and pandas serve as iconic markers on the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

Star Boulevard revitalizes the surrounding streetscape, forming a walkable, mixed-use district anchored by approximately 12,000 m² of retail space and 9,300 m² of lifestyle facilities. At street level, widened pedestrian walkways and active retail frontages foster vibrancy, while landscaped courtyards, water features, sculptural elements, and green pockets provide spaces of respite. Each tower drop-off is carefully designed as a crafted arrival sequence, reinforcing a sense of luxury and place. By integrating retail, public spaces and permeable pedestrian routes, Star Residences cultivates a more animated, connected, and economically burgeoning urban environment.
