A PREVIEW OF WHAT’S INSIDE I-CITY
In addition to being situated closest to Central Plaza mall, a big shopping mall with a retail space of 1.5 mil square feet, Liberty Tower will also be connected via a pedestrian walkway to the mall itself. Part and parcel of this ultrapolis, in which Liberty Tower is very much a part of, are other high-rise residences, office towers, hotels, cyber offices, retail suites, convention and performing arts centre, and data-processing towers. Some names that are coming in include DoubleTree by Hilton and Best Western hotels.

Location
The “city” logo in the map above pretty much covers the 72 acres of i-City, which is under massive development with a lot of expansion on the land beyond the theme park and water world (Source: i-City Properties)
Seksyen 7 in Shah Alam is a relatively serene and peaceful township that remains accessible to and from the rest of Klang Valley via the Federal Highway. The conception and creation of i-City’s fun-filled theme and water park, has, in a way, thrusted this very land into the spotlight.
Bordered by Bandar Baru Klang, Bukit Raja Industrial area, Desa Alam, the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) campus, and Kampung Padang Jawa, i-City is easily-accessible to such notable places as Hospital Shah Alam, Darul Ehsan Medical Centre (DEMC) Seksyen 14,Columbia Asia Extended Care Hospital Seksyen 17, Giant Hypermarket, AEON Bukit Raja Shopping Centre, University of Selangor (unisel), Sekolah Kebangsaan Seksyen 7, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Seksyen 7,MAZ International School, and Sekolah Rendah Agama Integrasi Dato’ Mufti Yusuf Sahabuddin, and Seksyen 7’s very own Police Station.

Although this serviced apartment is located near Sungai Rasau toll plaza, the entry road leading in to Liberty Tower itself is Persiaran Kayangan. Once you get onto this road, look out for a standalone Mcdonald’s (the one with a drive-thru) and you will be on the right track.

Once you spot the M for Mcdonald’s sign, you can make a left turn, bypass the Mcdonald’s, which will lead you to shop houses. The second alternative is to pass the Shell station, then make left turn onto Persiaran Permai. Either way will take you to i-City’s i-gallery.

For those heading to Klang, there is New North Klang Straits Bypass (NNKSB), which links Northport in Port Klang and Bukit Raja in Klang. NNKSB is also connected to the Federal Highway and the North Klang Valley Expressway.
This accessibility to Seksyen 7 will soon be extended with the addition of LRT 3 in which one of the designated i-City station is less than 2 km away from the development.

- Federal Highway
- North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE)
- The New North Klang Straits Bypass Expressway (NNKSB)

Summary
Compared to the subsequent residential towers that follow its leading, Liberty Tower is quite the star of them all. The location of all these towers does not make much of a big difference because they will be perched next to one another. Hyde Tower and Liberty Tower are located closest to the Central Plaza shopping mall, which is said to house 450 retail outlets and foreign brands that are not yet made available in Malaysia. Therefore, the pros of owning a unit in either one of these towers does not make much of a difference. The boon is that they are located next to a up-an-coming township, soon to be serviced by a BRT/LRT3 line.
If you are fine with exchanging an American interior setting with a British one, then by all means consider Hyde Tower too. After all , both of these towers share the same unblocked views – one that overlooks the adjacent Central Plaza shopping mall.
