Merdeka 118

Merdeka is inspired by its proximity to two historic landmarks, notably Stadium Merdeka and Stadium Negara. Stadium Merdeka is significant as the site of the country's formal declaration of independence on 31 August 1957. In November 2021, the spire of the building was completed.

The building, which is expected to be finished by the end of 2022, will be the tallest in Malaysia and Southeast Asia, as well as the second tallest in the world. The building will also be the first in Malaysia to receive a triple platinum rating from worldwide sustainability certifications, including the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
