MERDEKA 118

Merdeka 118: A Symbol of Malaysia’s Ambition and Heritage

Rising majestically above Kuala Lumpur at 678.9 metres, Merdeka 118 is an iconic addition to Malaysia’s skyline and the world’s second-tallest building. Developed by Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), the 118-storey landmark represents Malaysia’s journey of growth, innovation, and national pride.

Inspired by Malaysian culture and heritage, the tower’s striking design reflects the gesture of raising a hand during the declaration of independence at Stadium Merdeka in 1957 — a meaningful tribute to the nation’s history. Located beside the historic stadium, Merdeka 118 carries the spirit of “Merdeka”, meaning independence, while showcasing Malaysia’s vision for the future.

The integrated development features premium office spaces, retail experiences, a luxury hotel, observation decks, and world-class facilities, making it a must-visit destination for travellers seeking to experience Kuala Lumpur from a new perspective.
