Merdeka PNB 118: Tallest Building In Malaysia in 2024

PNB 118 is a 118-storey, 644-metre megatall skyscraper currently under construction in Kuala LumpurMalaysia.
Interesting face about PNB 118:
1). funded by Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB),with a budget of RM5 billion.
2). When completed in 2024, the tower will be the tallest building in Malaysia with 118-storey, 644-metre tall.
3). The tower is designed with a mixture of diamond shaped facets to signify the diversity of Malaysians. It will contain a shopping complex, offices, and residential areas.
4). Environmental Design and Engineering firm NEAPOLI was employed to provide consultancy services towards achieving Platinum rating with three Green Building certification bodies: LEED, Green Building Index (GBI) and GreenRE


The tower is sited at Petaling Hill, a low-density hill directly southeast of the historic Kuala Lumpur old town, on the location of the former Merdeka Park (which was subsequently repurposed into an open-air car park). The site lies within the vicinity of a number of historic landmarks with little modern development: Independence-era sporting venues including the Merdeka Stadium, the National Stadium and the Chin Woo Stadium, the pre-war school grounds of the Methodist Boys' School and Victoria Institution and the stalled Plaza Rakyat project (across the Ampang Line).The KL118 development, when completed, will also have access to the newly built MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line excavated underneath the southern end of Kuala Lumpur old town.
