About Merdeka 118
Merdeka 118 rises in the Merdeka Precinct of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It has 118 stories and stands 678.9 m (2,227 ft) tall, which makes it the world's second tallest building. Taller than the 451.9 m (1,483 ft) Petronas Twin Towers, it is Malaysia's tallest building; it also tops Landmark 81, at 462 m (1,516 ft), as the tallest in Southeast Asia. The spire was finished in December 2022. Measured from sea level instead of the ground, it reaches 700.9 m (2,300 ft).
The name Merdeka means "independence" in Malay and is inspired by the tower's proximity to Stadium Merdeka. Its diamond-shaped glass facades are meant to signify the diversity of Malaysians, and the design resembles the outstretched hand gesture of Tunku Abdul Rahman, who proclaimed the independence of Malaya on August 31, 1957. The cladding was planned to use 18,144 panels. The tower has two observation decks, one inside the building and one inside the spire, and its observatory is described as Southeast Asia's highest observation deck.
The project was announced on September 12, 2007. The 7.7-hectare (19-acre) precinct around it was financed by PNB, short for Permodalan Nasional Berhad, a company the Malaysian government owns, and the tower was built in three phases. The building mixes office space, hotels and retail outlets. Its concrete core reached 118 floors in August 2020, the whole tower topped out in November 2021, and its structure was finished in November 2023.
