Media Invitation: Connexion@Nexus, Bangsar South Media Preview

Last Wednesday, on 14.05.2014, I was invited by Hill+Knowlton Strategies to attend a Media Preview Event at Bangsar South.

To be more specific, that was an event to preview Connexion@Nexus, Bangsar South and to experience the best of its kind operations and services from the team of UOA Hospitality.

Details of the event are as below:-
Date: Wednesday, 14th May 2014
Time: 10.00am – 12.00pm
Venue: Level 3A, Continuum Function Room, Connexion@Nexus
No.7, Jalan Kerinchi, Bangsar South City, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

By the way, I’m representative of Malaysia Real Estate Blog – Jeffery Lam attending to this event 😀

UOA Group, Malaysia’s leading property developer ventures into hospitality with its debut of Connexion@Nexus in Bangsar South. Spearheaded by its subsidiary UOA Hospitality, Connexion@Nexus was built in mind to spur the growth of Malaysia’s MICE industry through providing an alternative solution with the rising demands for a central venue in the long-run.

Connexion@Nexus consists of a dynamic team of hosts and excellent facilities built for the community linking businesses, interests and lifestyle occasions. Located within Bangsar South City, this hidden gem is placed at the highest level of Nexus where it offers ideal space for corporate functions, conferences, weddings, cocktail receptions, private dinners and seminars which cater to daily expediencies, including the time demands of city dwellers, traffic congestion and limited parking spaces.

According to Anita Khoo, Head of UOA Hospitality, the idea behind the development of Connexion@Nexus was to provide an opportunity for the community to come together in a strategically nestled location between Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur city centre and Petaling Jaya for all kinds of activities including business, social and leisure.

“Our intention was really to offer an alternative venue for our surrounding community — be it for corporate, social or private settings and to cater to any capacity. Connexion@Nexus is designed to offer a venue operated by our professional banquet team that delivers the best service complemented by our top-notch facilities,” she continued.

By the way, I found that there are still lots of people who doesn’t know where is Bangsar South. Let me explain a little bit here.

Bangsar South is an integrated property development project in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The ongoing 60-acre development is undertaken by UOA Holdings Berhad, who had acquired the land once known as Kampung Kerinchi (Kerinchi Village) back in 2005. The site is located near close to Menara Telekom and the Mid Valley Megamall, between Kuala Lumpur city and Petaling Jaya. Other notable landmarks in the vicinity include the Angkasapuri building and the University of Malaya. [Source from Wikipedia]
