Twin condos poised to be Sabah's highest building

By Farah Wahida:

Luyang will be home to the highest building in Sabah, once a twin tower condominium development with more than 50 storeys is completed there in the coming years, according to The Daily Express.

The twin tower would exceed the 30-storey Menara Tun Mustapha, the 38-storey Sabah State Administration Complex as well as the yet-to-be-built Tawau Times Square which is said to be the highest building planned in Tawau and Sabah.

The Central Planning Board and the Sabah State Cabinet have approved the project but the development’s name and design has not yet been finalised. The developer is still incorporating the best practices and international standards for the planned 540 units to lure locals as well as expatriates.

“The engineering design allows tolerance of seismic tremors of up to 5 or 6 on the Richter’s Scale. Consideration in design for exclusive lifts and lobbies are still being worked out after a visit to Singapore to look at the very best,” said Sabahan Architect Jeremy John Lo Vui Ken.

For instance, the staff will have separate lifts from the occupants.

“It will be the highest condominium complex in Malaysia and Southeast Asia with a 360 degree panoramic view of Kota Kinabalu sited on a five-acre land in an excellent location with good convenient accessibility,” said Datuk David Chu, the developer of the project.
