Madingkir was also told that the launching and opening of the businesses will be in the first quarter of 2014 after their internal renovations for their own business requirements and features.

Currently the Hotel Zone is 100 per cent completed up to 5th floor and 90pc for the sixth floor, while the Designer suites (Condo) - Pelagos is 100 per cent complete up to the sixth floor and nearing completion on the seventh floor and Oceanus - commercial retail lots zone - 100 per cent completion for all the five floors.

Accompanying the Mayor were City Hall Engineering Director Lee Tet Fon, City Planning Director Alijus Sipil, Property Management Director Noorliza Alip, Walter Kenson, Director City Landscape and other senior officers.

On hand to receive his entourage was Waterfront Urban Development Sdn Bhd Executive Director Johnson Koh and the company's architect, consultants and senior staff.

The Mayor's visit was a follow-up visit since April and he was shown and briefed on the current status of the development.

The biggest names for this mixed development properties are Hard Rock CafŽ and 5-star Hotel chain operators J. W Marriot.

As for the tenants who have confirmed their lots are: Nandos, Japanese outlets Shushi-tei & Yuzu and Jelly Bunny, Dorothy Perkins, Bonia, Selangor Pewter and many others.

The access road (service road) is being constructed together with the phase One B of the boardwalk.

This boardwalk when ready will be able to host water sports such as dragon boat races and other water sports activities. There is a special grandstand facing the sea for special events for VIPs and other specially invited guests to sit and watch the activities.

Madingkir showed concern and wants the project to be completed as soon as expected following the new schedule.

The contractor's Project Manager assured him that the company is concentrating fully to keep to the schedule of delivery to the developer.

With the recent progress and the efforts the company is taking, Madingkir is satisfied with the target and efforts being taken. However, he advised the contractor to work together with City Hall to ensure cleanliness of the construction areas and the main road.

Although certain sections of the road have to be used for loading and unloading purposes and also for heavy equipment to carry out their works, safety and public traffic access must be the foremost objective.

The developer and contractor also assured Madingkir that they will take all precautionary measures to ensure the cleanliness and smooth flow of traffic.Daily Express
