Between 2007 and 2010, Suezcap laid the critical groundwork for its entry into urban redevelopment, marking a shift from suburban projects to city-scale transformation. This period was dedicated to preparing the foundation for KL Gateway, a visionary mixed-use development in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

This pivotal chapter set the stage for KL Gateway—not only as a development project, but as a symbol of Suezcap’s evolution into a catalyst for urban renewal, turning vision into progress at the heart of the city.
What follows is the story of how Kampung Kerinchi was transformed into Residensi Kerinchi—one of our most meaningful milestones in urban redevelopment.
Residensi Kerinchi - Kampung Kerinchi’s Transformation
Urban Redevelopment | Kampung Kerinchi, Kuala Lumpur | 456 Families | Completed 2017
On 29 March 2010, with the trust and support of residents, Suez Domain Sdn Bhd—a subsidiary of Suez Capital Sdn Bhd—was given the mandate to lead the transformation of the 4-storey flats in Kampung Kerinchi. This initiative marked the beginning of a bold vision to uplift the community’s living conditions through a comprehensive urban redevelopment plan.
Why Kampung Kerinchi Redevelopment Was Essential
Despite its prime location near major highways such as the Federal Highway, Kerinchi Link, NPE, and the Universiti LRT Station, Kampung Kerinchi’s 4-storey flats, built in 1972, had fallen into serious decline.
For over two decades, the residents’ association made continuous efforts to address ongoing socio-economic and infrastructure issues. However, the severity and scale of these challenges made meaningful progress difficult without a holistic redevelopment strategy.
Key Problems
Overcrowded and deteriorating buildings
Unhygienic living conditions
Crime and drug-related concerns

Urban Redevelopment
The Only Solution
For Transformation
Urban redevelopment was the only viable path for uplifting the Kampung Kerinchi 4-storey flat community. It provided a sustainable solution to address social issues, modernise infrastructure, and improve living standards. Without redevelopment, the area’s challenges could not be effectively solved. The transformation unlocked new opportunities, with improved facilities and safer spaces, enabling long-term prosperity. For decades, property values remained stagnant at RM56,000, hindering financial growth. Redevelopment was the key to breaking this cycle and realising the area’s full potential.
The K-Baru Transformation Model
To address the pressing challenges in the Kampung Kerinchi 4-storey flats, Suez Domain Sdn Bhd introduced the K-Baru Transformation Formula—a people-first redevelopment strategy focused on enhancing quality of life, delivering modern infrastructure, and fostering sustainable community growth. The approach was designed to ensure minimal disruption to residents while paving the way for long-term, inclusive progress.
