Eupe Completes Topping Out Ceremony For Property Development Est8

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 (Bernama) -- Eupe Corporation Bhd has completed the topping out of its Est8 project in Seputeh, marking a milestone in the construction of the high-rise property development in Kuala Lumpur.

Group managing director Datuk Beh Huck Lee praised the construction team and every Eupe department for turning the Est8 vision into reality, extending a special recognition to MCC Overseas (M) Sdn Bhd, the project’s main building contractor.  

“Est8 has faced COVID, site constraints, regulatory hurdles and the complexity of building something this bold. But MCC's professionalism and perseverance have carried us through.

“The revolution is not yet won; we must keep working hard. So today, we celebrate topping out. Tomorrow, we aim to prove that MCC delivers quality beyond compare with its highest Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC) scores in Malaysia and among the top three rankings in Singapore,” he said in his keynote speech during the topping out ceremony here today. 

Sitting on a 2.9-acre (1.17-hectare) leasehold parcel, Est8 has a gross development value (GDV) of RM658 million. There will be 821 residential units in total for blocks A, B and C with 1,356 parking bays.

As of June 2025, the take-up rate was 99 per cent while the targeted completion date is May 2026.

Key design features included green space covering 73 per cent of the original land area, iconic public art of five giant sculptures visible from the skyline, as well as direct connectivity to Mid Valley Megamall.
