KOTA KINABALU: The T1@Bundusan commercial hub is set to redefine the landscape of the city here once completed in 2017.
The project sited on 1.94 acres of land will be developed by Tan Brothers Machinery Company (TBMC) and this will be their first venture in property development projects in Sabah.
The project comprises 12 4-storey blocks of commercial shop offices and 12 units of dual-volume sky F&B outlets on level 5, a 6-storey boutique hotel and a single-storey basement car park at the 1.94 acres of land, said TBMC director Anthony Tan at the launching of the ceremony of the project on Friday.
T1@Bundusan is an iconic building, moving away from the norm of the design of commercial property.
It is a remarkable piece of art, which will transform Sabahs typology. T1@Bundusan is derived from the letter T which reflects transformation of concept for this flagship development, said Anthony.
The conceptual architecture of T1 was conceived by Mak Thur Pei of Mak Arkitek Konsult, the young architect who has won the inaugural Tan Sri Chan Sau Lai Architecture Award by the Malaysian Institute of Architect for fresh and innovative design, he said.
The building has been designed with quality in mind and meticulously crafted for those who appreciate the finer things in life, he added.
Upon its completion in 2017, it will redefine the business landscape as it will be built with up to date infrastructure and IT facilities.

Like a piece of artwork or a writers manuscript, a garden is never truly finished. As with all art, gardens can always evolve, changing with the seasons and naturally growing out of plans and designs, developing over time in a never-ending evolution.
Gardening is the art of the Earth, providing the willing and creative with another means of finding beauty in the mundane.
All I know is, I dont paint with a trowel or garden with a brush, the late Robert Dash said in a video by P. Allen Smith Classics filmed in 2011, two years before his death, when asked about the connection between gardening and painting.
They inform one another in ways that are very mysterious. Its how the trowel is wielded or how the brush is wielded that informs the canvas or the Earth and there are no rules. And the only way you know how to do something in either of those arts is by doing it, he added.
Mr. Dash, an artist, writer and gardener who died in September at age 82, believed very much in gardens taking their time and developing over a period of time, said Jack deLashmet, co-chair of Landscape Pleasures, which will honor Mr. Dash this year.
Hosted by the Parrish Art Museum, Landscape Pleasures includes three lectures by gardening and landscape design experts on Saturday, June 7, followed by a day of tours of some of Southamptons most historic and remarkable gardens on Sunday, June 8.
The 2-acre Sagaponack garden of Mr. Dash, the Madoo Conservancy, which is open to the public, is included among the private estates on Sundays tour.

SALT LAKE CITY A Bureau of Land Management Utah employee has received a national BLM award.
Rob Sweeten, landscape architect with the BLM-Utah State Office in Salt Lake City, was selected to receive the national BLM employee Making a Difference Award.
The award is presented annually by the BLM to recognize bureau volunteers, whose efforts include trail repair, visitor services, habitat restoration, and many other duties.
Since 2009, Sweeten has mentored six student interns, most of whom began as BLM volunteers. He worked to convert the students to Student Temporary Employment Program status or to a conservation corps intern with the American Conservation Experience youth organization.
The students worked exclusively with Sweeten by assisting with visual inventory work for the Kanab, Monticello, Richfield, and Cedar City field offices and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. By using student volunteers to enter field data into a national database and other projects rather than paying a contractor, the BLM saved $100,000, the bureau said.
Sweeten also speaks at Utah State University and meets with professors to explain the BLM's mission and role, as well as the opportunities available to students.
"Rob embodies the best qualities of a volunteer supervisor, mentor, coach and leader," said state BLM director Juan Palma. "He truly continues to make a difference and is well-deserving of recognition for his ongoing efforts within BLM Utah."

Poetry readings, high school bands, a clarinetist on a canoe and a short procession will inaugurate a restored stone waterfall in Phalen Regional Park.
"It's been off for a long time," said Bryan Murphy, a landscape architect with St. Paul Parks and Recreation, who believes the stone structure hasn't cascaded water since the 1960s.
The Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District will host its annual WaterFest celebration on Saturday to coincide with the dedication of the 1950s-era waterfall.
St. Paul Parks and Recreation secured $296,000 from the state Legacy program to improve the water system. Measuring roughly 15 feet in height, the original waterfall drew well water that cascaded over the stones and into Lake Phalen, which was receding in the 1950s.
"It isn't receding now, and it hasn't been for quite a while," Murphy said. The new system draws water directly from Lake Phalen, which travels through ornamental grates along a pedestrian and bicycle trail and over the limestone slabs just above lake level.
"It looks exactly as it did in the 1950s," said Murphy, who believes the water flow is comparable. "It's a really nice cascade -- it's even, and it's a really nice sound. It brings a lot of life to that area."
The ceremony begins at 11 a.m. with performances by Farnsworth Aerospace Magnet School, St. Peter's Catholic School and Harding High Earth Club on the bridge north of the park pavilion. A procession to the waterfall will begin at 11:25 a.m., followed by a formal dedication 10 minutes later.
Clarinetist Don Rose will arrive by canoe and perform "Turning on of Waterfall." The waterfall is located in the northwest corner of the lake, near a boat ramp.
Launched in the year 2000, the watershed district's WaterFest celebration runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features fishing, archery, boat rides, Hmong dancers, food trucks and additional events. More information is online at http://www.rwmwd.org.
