The Ipoh Sentral project has announced plans to reshape the city’s infrastructure in Malaysia. The RM6.26 billion transit-oriented development (TOD) will be located behind the iconic Ipoh Railway Station. The project is divided into two phases, with the first phase expected to start within six months. The initial phase will focus on upgrading the city’s landscape, including pedestrian walkways, cycling routes, and preserving heritage elements such as places of worship.
The second phase of the project, spanning 24.7 hectares, will include mixed-use developments like serviced apartments, commercial spaces, and a hotel. This phase is expected to take 20 years to complete. The project is a collaboration between multiple stakeholders, including Railway Asset Holding Sdn Bhd and Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd.
