Kampung Kerinchi is located in Pantai Dalam, Kuala Lumpur. In its heyday, Kampung Kerinchi had a big settlement of squatters comprising locals as well immigrants from Indonesia.
Kampung Kerinchi took its name from Kerinchi in the Jambi district. The area was founded by Haji Abdullah Hukum, who arrived in Malaya with his wife and children during hard times, and a group of Sumatrans from Kerinchi. They settled in Kampung Kerinchi and planted pineapples, padi and fruits to survive.
In 1990s, the Kuala Lumpur City Hall decided to develop the area, building low-cost flats and middle-cost apartments.
Some of the squatter settlements were demolished and the residents moved to the new flatsin 1993.
In the following years, UOA Development Bhd came to Kampung Kerinchi. They started buying land in 2005 and constructed commercial and residential towers.
UOA named its development Bangsar South City, which today consists of Grade A office towers, medium to high-end residential units, service suites and retail shops.
Bangsar South was developed on a residential plot which comprised Kampung Kerinchi and Seri Angkasa leasehold flats, and Vista Angkasa apartments.
UOA lifted the image of Kampung Kerinchi by providing better facilities through the Bangsar South development, upgrading the linkages and access road. This, in turn, improved property and rental prices.
However, not all is good as rapid development means more cars which lead to congestion, especially during peak hours. The livelihood of locals, who have been living there for years before the Bangsar South development started, is affected by the massive construction.
Another development in Kampung Kerinchi is the KL Gateway, developed by Suez Domain and linked to the Universiti light rail transit station.
This mixed development comprises residences, corporate towers and a mall. The launch price for the office tower ranged from RM919 to RM1,037 per sq ft (for units between 1,200 and 11,800 sq ft), while the serviced residences ranged between RM600 and RM900 psf (for built-up areas ranging from 500 to 1,098 sq ft).
