Before 1800s, this area was a lush tropical jungle, home to wild beasts where tiger, elephant, rhinoceros, and sun bear roams freely. Then, in 1849, Kuala Lumpur was founded, and at that time it was just a small mining town centered on the confluence of Gombak and Klang rivers at the place where Masjid Jamek stands today. As the town expanded, the surrounding jungles were cleared and the wild animals were either killed or driven away. In around 1880s, horse racing was introduced by the British, and this area was converted into a Kuala Lumpur Turf Club.
Kuala Lumpur later achieved city status in 1972 and this lead in rapid increase to the city population. As a result, this area becomes congested with traffics especially during the weekends where horse racing takes place. The Turf Club was then shifted out to the suburbs in the 1980s. Suddenly the area, right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur became available for redevelopment and with this, MAI Holdings Sdn. Bhd. teamed up with Petronas www.petronas.com.my/ to form KLCC Property Holdings Berhad to jointly develop the area. The development is done in stages so as to avoid a glut in the property market. The whole development is expected to be completed fully by 2019.
