The business of building restoration and adaptive reuse is often sidelined by developers in Kuala Lumpur unless coerced by local guidelines and regulations. The arduous task of restoration work is avoided in favour of demolition and reconstruction to satiate our appetite for the gleaming and new. YTL Communications Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of the YTL group of companies takes a departure from this conventional mode of thinking by housing the new YTL Communications Centre in a railway workshop dating back to1906.
