New high rises can't beat the harmony of this office building from 1984. Luckily it still stands out on its own now reached by a walkway from the hundred years older Central Market. Another covered connection links it with the Pasar Seni station.

The Dayabumi Complex is a landmark of Kuala Lumpur. Built in 1984, I’m sure it was very modern for it’s time. The 2 distinctive features of the building is the shape like a star, and the facade which is covered in latticework of repeating star shapes in the tradition of islamic art. The whole building is in white concrete and to be honest, I found it a bit bland and sterile, but that’s just my opinion. The complex is also a mixed use of shops and offices, but there’s hardly any shops and the cafes were pretty empty. In my humble opinion, if you really want to see the building, go ahead. Admiring it from afar will be enough though. I certainly wouldn’t come here for the shops.
