About Komtar
Komtar, or the Tun Abdul Razak Complex, is a five-building civic complex in downtown George Town, Penang. It welcomed visitors for the first time on December 2, 1976. When finished in 1985, its central skyscraper, Komtar Tower, stood 231.7 m (760 ft) tall and ranked as Southeast Asia's tallest skyscraper at the time. The 27-acre (11 ha) superblock holds offices and shops, some 132,000 m² (1,420,000 square feet); Rapid Penang buses use it as a major terminal, and Penang's state government and chief minister sit there.
Construction ran from 1974 to 1986, at an original cost of RM279.5 million. Lim Chong Eu, then chief minister, proposed the scheme in 1969; his brother Chong Keat produced the design. Five phases were planned, yet only two were finished as originally planned. The rest became the Sia Boey Urban Archaeological Park, 1st Avenue and Prangin Mall, added between 1996 and 2019. A 2015 renovation took the tower to 248.7 m (816 ft).
The design was called a "city within a city" and was Malaysia's biggest urban regeneration project. It did not revive George Town's center as intended, and its construction was criticized for demolishing part of the heritage quarters and pushing thousands of residents out. Maintenance fell short from the late 1990s. Even so, Komtar remains Penang's best-known landmark and a sign of the state's post-industrial prosperity.
