Another High Rise Project

Right beside the east bank of Kinta River, along Anderson Road, signboard of a proposed high rise building is put up. This is supposing a Sovo & hotel project by local developer Keris Properties. The illustration is indeed quite impressive, which there are floating cafes & floating restaurants available. It is about 1km upstream of Kinta Riverfront Hotel. If the project turn up to be successful, the stretch of Kinta River between Anderson Road and Lim Bo Seng bridge could be river-themed tourism spot.
