MRCB bags RM2.94bil contract to build Shah Alam sports complex
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) has secured a contract to develop the Shah Alam Sports Complex (KSSA) worth RM2.94 billion.
The letter of acceptance was issued by Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI) to Lembaran Prospek Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MRCB Land Sdn Bhd, which in turn is a subsidiary of MRCB.
The handover ceremony was witnessed by Raja Muda of Selangor Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari and Selangor state secretary Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin.
In a statement, MRCB said the project includes the demolition works, which are presently nearing completion and spans a 48-month construction period, with completion targeted for 2029.
"The KSSA development represents a bold transformation of Shah Alam into a vibrant, multi-functional urban precinct that reflects the shared vision of the state's leadership and MRCB's expertise in integrated urban developments," it said.
The KSSA will feature multi-purpose destination for sports, culture and commerce, including a modern stadium with a retractable pitch, two training fields and upgraded infrastructure.
Anchored by a 45,000-capacity stadium with a retractable pitch, the project will integrate community, commerce and infrastructure across a 310,000 square metres of green flora sanctuary.
The development will also include a green recreational zone, lifestyle mall, youth entrepreneurship platforms and cultural spaces.
There will also be a landscaped botanical garden, jogging and cycling paths and pedestrian-friendly walkways, along with flood mitigation features like retention ponds and wetlands and biodiversity zones.
Public amenities will include open community spaces and a Bazarena.
The site will benefit from seamless accessibility through its integration with the nearly completed Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3) line, enhancing connectivity between Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.
"With our proven track record in urban regeneration and sustainable infrastructure, we are committed to building more than a stadium, we are creating a living, breathing destination for the people of Selangor," MRCB chairman Datuk Mohamed Nasir Ab Latif said in the statement.
