Developer seeks approval for 61-storey tower project near TNB HQ, Pantai Hospital 25.05.2026

New Straits Times

A private developer, believed to be Akisama Corp Sdn Bhd, is seeking approval for a 61-storey mixed-use tower project in Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Pantai area, featuring 1,494 serviced apartment units and 64 retail shop lots. The proposed development, located on Jalan Bukit Pantai adjacent to Tenaga Nasional Berhad's headquarters and opposite Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur, has submitted a planning application to Kuala Lumpur City Hall. A public notice was displayed from May 15 to May 30, inviting feedback from neighbouring landowners, with a deadline of May 30 for objections. This proposal continues a pattern of high-density residential development interest in the Klang Valley, with the site having been under development consideration for several years and Akisama having received conditional approval for a previous concept in 2023.
