Kuala Lumpur Sentral (KL Sentral) or Sentral Kuala Lumpur is a transit-oriented development that houses the main railway station of Kuala Lumpur. Opened on 16 April 2001, KL Sentral replaced the old Kaula Lumpur railway station as the city’s main intercity railway station. KL Sentral is the largest railway station in Malaysia.

KL Sentral is designed as an intermodal transport hub. Most of Kuala Lumpur’s passenger rail lines serve KL Sentral, while many intercity trains serving Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore start there. It was also designed to be a new business and financial hub for Kuala Lumpur.

KL Sentral refers to the entire 290,000 square metres of development built on the former Keretapi Tanah Melayu marshalling yard in Brickfields. The development includes the transport hub, hotels, office towers, condominiums and shopping malls.

KL Sentral has been divided into 14 land parcels, each representing a different function. Some of these lots have been fully constructed and are already in use, while others are either in the process of being built, or are still awaiting development, according to the phased programme.
