Kuantan City Mall construction progress FEBRUARY 2017 (part 10)

I have been following the construction of Kuantan City Mall for quite some time now. This is the year that Kuantan City Mall is scheduled for completion so it has become a whole lot more exciting for Kuantan folk! It is taking shape now.

Here is my latest video of the construction progress of Kuantan City Mall:

I took this short video of Kuantan City Mall while driving up to the 3rd floor parking at East Coast Mall. Check out the video to see the construction progress of Kuantan City Mall:

The construction of Kuantan City Mall is picking up pace now. The building is visibly taller with around one year to go until completion. I went up to the roof of East Coast Mall to shoot the latest video and snap some photos.

Hey there folks, just popping in to give a video update of the Kuantan City Mall construction progress, as of June 2016. It is getting exciting now as the shape of the structure transforms into reality before our eyes. Take a look at my drive-by video of Kuantan City Mall:

Kuantan City Mall - August 2015 (part 5)

As if the improved East Coast Mall was not enough for us Kuantan folk, I am getting increasingly excited by the prospect of Kuantan City Mall to be built right beside EC Mall.

Construction is in progress and I was on hand to snap some photos through the gaps in the fences. Tons of earth has been removed and is currently piled high around the perimeter as the foundations are prepared.

Check out these pictures taken in August 2015:

The plot of land where Kuantan City Mall will be built

It looks like the construction of Kuantan City Mall can now begin properly. The mound of rubble to the right of the picture (above) is where the old mosque once stood. Now it is gone, work can start. The mosque has been replaced with a brand new one which is just out of picture.

Kuantan City Mall appears to be in slow progress, though this month I spotted large holes being dug for what should be foundations:

Here's how the plot of land looks as of December 2014:

Kuantan City Mall, November 2014 (part 1)

The notice of construction is up for a brand new shopping mall opposite East Coast Mall in Kuantan, which will be named Kuantan City Mall.

This is an area which has experienced unbelievable growth since I moved here. The whole area used to be an empty patch of land which I once walked across to get to Berjaya Megamall.

Now it has The Zenith Hotel, SAS Convention Centre, Menara Zenith, East Coast Mall, Putra Square and rows of shoplots. 

Kuantan City Mall will be the next addition in this area.

Here is the plot of land where Kuantan City Mall will be built opposite East Coast Mall in Kuantan

To the right of the picture is a brand new mosque (white with black dome) which I'm guessing will replace the old mosque in the centre (green and red roof) to make way for Kuantan City Mall

There will be a sub-basement and 6 floors to Kuantan City Mall, so it is looking to be a lot larger than the current East Coast Mall!

Check back to The Kuantan Blog often - I'll be keeping up-to-date with the construction progress as often as possible!

Our stay at The Zenith Hotel, Kuantan, October 2013

We go back a long way with The Zenith Hotel. I began photographing its construction from nothing but waste land to the 5-star hotel, tallest building in Kuantan which it is today. 

Click this link to see some of the construction progress I have captured in photographs.

From watching this hotel grow on our doorstep and possessing a collection of photographs of its progress, it always feels a little extra special for us when we go there.

The Zenith Hotel on a beautiful day in Kuantan

We stayed at The Zenith Hotel in the Deluxe Superior King room complete with living area, reclining chair and king-size bed, not to mention huge windows with panoramic views of Kuantan and beyond.

The Deluxe Superior King at The Zenith Hotel is a big room!

We paid RM400 for the room and were not disappointed. Clean, comfortable, soundproof.

As it was my birthday the following day, we had some friends around to celebrate in our room.

Following are just a few of the awesome views of Kuantan we observed from our hotel room:

East Coast Mall and Stadium Darul Makmur are prominent landmarks on the Kuantan skyline

We even managed some exercise during our stay at The Zenith Hotel. Fidelia worked out in the gym:

While I expended some energy by jumping on the bed:

Had a very nice buffet breakfast in the morning, and what made it complete was a surprise rendition of "Happy Birthday" sung by the staff in The Dining Room. One lady staff had a very alert ear when we casually told her we were staying here in conjunction with my birthday. Ten minutes later, and a whole group of staff are singing to me and presenting me with a small birthday cake! Amazing! (Gosh, I should have brought my camera down to breakfast!!!)

I highly recommend a stay at The Zenith Hotel in Kuantan. The hotel oozes quality and you can be assured of a great experience!
