The project is located within the award winning master planned Puteri Harbour City at the southern end of peninsula Malaysia.
Almas is the premier integrated mix-use development which will provide the 3 aspects of Live, Work and Play. It is designed to create the much needed first Town Centre for Puteri Harbour with a shop-lined high street.
The concept was developed by dissecting the rectangular plot of land via a set of axis to create distinct districts. By dissecting the plot down the middle vertically and horizontally, districts were created. Pathways, linkages and elevated walkways rise and connect the nodes, districts and landmarks to create the image of the new city centre
The form and shape of the towers are designed and orientated at angles to maximize surrounding views. Whilst Almas is not at the water’s edge, it wants to claim some of the valuable sea views. The Residence Tower is intentionally tilted in its orientation to maximize the view of the Straits and accentuated with cupola balconies that sit out from the tower façade.
Central Boulevard is the Retail Street which is enveloped by 2 rows of high street retail stores. This is the spine of the development and the core for commercial activity. In the central portion of the Retail Street there is the horizontally placed pedestrian links to both sides of the Retail Street . To the east, one can go directly towards the Linear Park which runs parallel along the east side of Almas. Pedestrian linkages encircle the whole perimeter of this development for easy access to any section and to cross over to neighbouring buildings, parks and linkages to the waterfront.
