The Kota Kinabalu City Waterfront (KKCW) project was unveiled yesterday by Waterfront Urban Development Sdn Bhd (WUD), who will be collaborating with Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu to develop it.  This was done in conjunction with a signing ceremony between WUD, Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Bhd and a consortium of Middle Eastern and Malaysian investors, to jointly make the KKCW a reality.

The RM500 million Kota Kinabalu City Waterfront - located within the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) - is an integrated mixed seafront development situated on the waterfront of the city centre.  Expected to be completed by 2010, it will feature the key attraction of a 2km long boardwalk, built using eco-friendly materials rising above the sea on stilts.

And in tandem with its environmentally-friendly concept, the KKCW will also incorporate features such as hi-tech LED lighting, energy-conserving air-conditioning systems and solar-powered pedestrian lighting along the boardwalk.

Once completed, the KKCW will feature one of the longest city waterfront boardwalks in Asia, thereby making it Kota Kinabalu's prime tourist attraction.
