PKNS group chief executive officer Datuk Mahmud Abbas and Shah Alam mayor Datuk Mohd Fauzi Mohd Yatim signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to solidify the five-year partnership. With the agreement, Mahmud said both parties aimed to transform Shah Alam into a high-tech, low-carbon, and revitalised city. 'This strategic collaboration between PKNS and MBSA marks the beginning of the transformation of Sections 13 and 14 in Shah Alam. 'These historical areas will be given a new lease of life to remain relevant and dynamic in today's development landscape. 'As a rapidly growing city, this highlights the need for modern infrastructure, efficient public amenities, and sustainable as well as inclusive housing development,' he said after the signing ceremony at Galeria SA Sentral in Shah Alam, Bernama reported. Mahmud said the SA Sentral development spanned over 52ha and would be implemented based on the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) concept, encompassing modern residential areas, recreation, food and beverage shops and senior living facilities. The project is expected to be completed by 2031. He added that the PKNS Complex in Shah Alam would also undergo upgrades. As for the Aneka Walk development project adjacent to the iconic shopping mall, Mahmud said it was expected to be completed and operational by the fourth quarter of this year. 'Aneka Walk is designed as a modern lifestyle destination that integrates retail, recreation, and entrepreneurship elements within an inclusive and community-friendly environment. 'In addition, Plaza Perangsang will also be redeveloped into a hotel centre, and PKNS will soon sign an agreement with Grand Mercure as the operator,' he said. Launched last September, the SA Sentral project has a gross development value (GDV) of RM3bil. This high-impact project involves the development of Plaza Alam Sentral, Plaza Perangsang, SACC Mall, SACC Walk, PKNS Shah Alam Complex, Shah Alam Convention Centre (SACC) and several areas in Section 14.

New train station is a first for NWI, state, seen as gateway to Michigan City's future
The new train station at 11th Street in downtown Michigan City is 'a gateway to our city's future that will serve generations to come,' Mayor Angie Nelson Deuitch said at Wednesday's grand opening. The station and parking garage are the final piece of the Double Track NWI project. 'When someone asks what is TOD, just bring them here, and they'll recognize it right away,' said Michal Noland, general manager and president of the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District, which operates the South Shore Line. With the Double Track NWI project completed, the South Shore now operates an express train that can get riders from Michigan City to Millennium Station in downtown Chicago in just 67 minutes, Noland said. 'The whole skyline in Michigan City is going to be changed because of this,' Nelson Deuitch said. Attached to the new station is a mixed-use development still under construction. 'We pride ourselves on doing very complex mixed-use' developments, said David Flaherty, CEO and principal at Flaherty & Collins. The Michigan City project is the large developer's first transit-oriented development project in Indiana and its eighth overall. The $101 million investment is expected to result in $700,000 in real estate taxes and have an overall economic impact of $150 million over five years for Michigan City and the surrounding area, Flaherty said. The mixed-use project will have 220 residential units along with residential and retail spaces. The 547-space parking garage will be shared between South Shore passengers, residents and shoppers. Flaherty anticipates 300 people 'with good disposable' income moving to Michigan City, literally sharing the wealth as they patronize local businesses after returning home from high-paying jobs in Chicago. 'We will be attracting young professionals and baby boomers to this location,' he said. 'We want you to live in Indiana, spend all your money here.' 'It's walkable, it's bikeable, it's connected,' Flaherty said. He expects the Michigan City project to have a ripple effect on other stops with transit development districts along the South Shore's traditional route. For Flaherty & Collins, having the 11th Street train station incorporated into the parking garage is a first, Flaherty said. The station gives a strong nod to the railroad's history, starting with the historic terra cotta façade that was saved from the station that formerly stood on that spot. The façade was saved when the old building was razed and repurposed for the new structure. Inside are two large pictures that were black and white when they were created a century ago, but colorized to be displayed inside the station. Another display gives the history of the railroad, from 1901, when the Chicago and Indiana Air Line Railway, which would later become part of the South Shore Line, was incorporated, to today. A model South Shore train runs along a track overhead inside the station. Another one will be added later, Noland said. 'We really want this train station to be welcoming to the entire community,' he said. 'At core, this is an economic development project,' Noland said. 'It's the vision. It's what so many people envisioned when we sought funding.' Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority President and CEO Sherri Ziller is pleased with the development. 'This marks the end of a long, very long project for the RDA,' she said. 'Today, we can literally see that vision becoming a reality.' 'The point was really to unlock Michigan City's potential,' Ziller said. 'Michigan City, they've really been leading the charge. They've embraced the doubletrack project since Day 1,' she said. U.S. Rep. Frank Mrvan applauded the collaboration that led to the station's construction and the completion of the Double Track NWI project. 'This is an example of where the struggle is behind us. This is an example of where, in a bipartisan way, we all came together,' he said. 'We can achieve anything' when partisan disputes are set aside, Mrvan said. 'Let this be an example, a ripple effect for Northwest Indiana,' he said. The Double Track NWI project was completed on time and under budget, Noland said. Mrvan thanked organized labor for their efforts to make that happen. Former U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky and State Rep. Hal Slager used decades of political capital on this, Mrvan said. 'This train is not only something we can celebrate, but it's a catalyst,' he said. 'It's going to create jobs. It's going to create safer neighborhoods here in Michigan City.' 'I couldn't be more proud of the region than I am today,' Ziller said.

Prasarana Champions Sustainable City Living Through TOD
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 (Bernama) -- As urban mobility becomes increasingly unsustainable amid growing populations and emissions, Prasarana Malaysia Bhd is rising to the challenge by focusing on transit-oriented development (TOD) — a model that clusters residential, commercial, and civic spaces within walking distance of public transport hubs. Prasarana, the country's largest public transport operator, said TOD promotes high-density, walkable neighbourhoods with reduced car dependency, a vision it is driving through its subsidiary Prasarana Integrated Development Sdn Bhd (PRIDE), which focuses on delivering TOD projects. 'These are live developments reshaping the Klang Valley. Among them is Perla Ara Damansara, a mixed-use development adjacent to the light rail transit (LRT) station, blending affordable and mid-range residential units with retail, office suites, and a hotel. 'Another flagship is The Riveria City in Brickfields, near the Kuala Lumpur city centre, a mixed-use development built within the Monorail Depot and fully integrated with pedestrian flows and surrounding businesses,' it said in a statement. Prasarana said each TOD site is shaped by principles of inclusivity, mobility, and environmental resilience, including walkability and access to essential services, with the aim of transforming transit stations into vibrant anchors of urban life that support homes, jobs, and retail activity within a unified ecosystem. Through TOD, the company is also unlocking new value by leveraging station land, air rights, and commercial assets. 'Over the next five years, PRIDE aims to grow its commercial revenue through leasing, advertising, and joint development, diversifying income streams while contributing to broader goals of urban regeneration. 'Malaysia is not starting from scratch. It draws on global best practices, especially from Japan, where railway operators like JR East and JR West have long integrated transport with property, commerce, and services,' it added. According to Prasarana, Malaysia is adapting this approach to its own urban context, aligning TOD with national priorities such as the National Transport Policy, the 12th Malaysia Plan, and broader sustainability frameworks.
