Pre-opening Party For Puchong's Latest Draw

The birth of yet another Puchong landmark, IOI Boulevard, was celebrated in style recently.

Themed The Swirl of Senses, the pre-opening cocktail party of the new integrated lifestyle office and retail development by IOI Properties in Bandar Puchong Jaya was enhanced by clever play of lighting and music by the Puchong Orchestra group.
The guests were then introduced to the latest addition in the boulevard, the Palatte - an open courtyard covered by wave-shaped glass canopy.

The developer said they planned to turn Palatte into an arts sanctuary.

“It was conceptualised to provide a signa-ture place for amateur and aspiring artists to showcase all forms of art, music, food, calligraphy, dance, painting, fashion design, photography and more, free of charge,” IOI Properties general manager Lee Yoke Har said.

The highlight of the party was the unveiling of an artistic mural by 300 Limkokwing University of Creative Technology students of 14 nationalities as a way of leaving their creative mark.

Limkokwing Malaysia Design Innovation Centre assistant creative director Stanley Clement said the mural captured the essence of IOI Boulevard.

“The lack of venues to promote art in Selangor is one of the reasons why it is difficult to attract tourists to stay longer in the state.

“The Palatte is a place where one can enjoy life, be it a cultural show or an art exhibition,” she said.

All 18 F&B and 18 retail lots in the Palette would not be sold, but only leased out by IOI Properties for full control of the tenant mix.

There are 322 office units and more than 1,000 basement parking bays at IOI Boulevard.
