One will find a lot of hassle to reach Menara Multi-Purpose, since it is centrally located at centre of the city due to traffic jams and one-way lane along Jalan Munshi Abdullah, Jalan Ampang and Jalan Dang Wangi. These roads are normally hectic during peak hours as people rush out from work. As the entire development of CapSquare is going to be completed very soon, one will definitely find the area becoming more exclusive, hip and happening. This will also increase your company corporate image as becoming part of this urban jungle. However, mind you that the area will become busier and congested as its retail mall will attract a lot of visitors very soon.
