Agile Bukit Bintang: A True Bukit Bintang Address
A restful sanctuary in the heart of the Golden Triangle in CBD Kuala Lumpur, the residential development Agile Bukit Bintang is surrounded by city vibes with urban convenience. Located just a step away from the epicentre of fashion and entertainment for retail therapy, this development takes the form of a 60-storey freehold residential skyscraper. According to the Agile International, the concept for Agile Bukit Bintang is akin to living in the mountains to take advantage of the site’s panoramic views. The three asymmetrical residential towers reflecting the mountainous ridges have been designed to optimise visual corridors towards Petronas Twin Towers and Kuala Lumpur Tower and to fetch the best vantage views of the city skyline for the residents.
