Historically, Old Klang Road was the first major link from Kuala Lumpur to Port Klang. Today, it is a mature and self-sustaining area with a host of amenities and accessibility. It is easy to get in and out of Old Klang Road to almost anywhere in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor, because the area is linked to major roads and highways.

A new addition to this vibrant township is Platinum Arena. Platinum Arena is a sports-themed mixed development project in Old Klang Road, with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM421mil. This 2.9-acre leasehold project was launched in April 2019 by Marques Land Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of the Platinum Victory Group.

Platinum Arena features serviced apartment units in 2 towers, with a commercial hub at its base. Retail shops offer a range of indulgences, which provide residents with lifestyle conveniences right at their doorstep.

Interested purchasers can choose from 5 layout types. The two-bedroom units are good options for young families, couples or singles, while the 3- and 4-bedroom units are designed for multi-generational living. The developer wishes to balance privacy and sociability, and therefore, all layout types are envisioned to be family-friendly spaces for residents to feel at home. Other thought-out spaces include an urban lounge, a workout studio, and a library.

Platinum Arena’s sports-themed residence was inspired by its location being adjacent to the Sports Arena Sentosa. To encourage healthy living amongst residents, the project comes with an attractive list of recreational facilities including gym, swimming pool, viewing deck, sports hall for basketball and badminton, yoga deck and more.

Platinum Arena is registered under the Home Ownership Campaign (HOC) 2019.

Platinum Arena is the company’s third venture outside of the Setapak area. Platinum Victory’s ongoing projects include PV18 Residences and Residensi Platinum Teratai in Setapak; Platinum Splendour Residensi Semarak and Vista Semarak at Jalan Semarak, Kuala Lumpur; and Platinum OUG in Bukit OUG, Kuala Lumpur. Platinum Victory’s 7.4-acre lakefront commercial development, The Palette in Setapak, is being completed in phases.
