Tun Mustapha Tower

Tun Mustapha Tower, Glass skyscraper in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

Tun Mustapha Tower is a glass-faced building with 32 floors shaped like a 72-sided polygon, created from thousands of glass panels. It stands around 122 meters tall in the heart of Kota Kinabalu's business district.

The building was completed in 1976 by Japanese construction firm Mori Building Company and originally called Yayasan Sabah Tower. It was created during a period of economic growth and modernization in Kota Kinabalu.

The tower serves as the headquarters of the Sabah Foundation, which focuses on education and economic development in the state. Visitors can explore how this organization shapes opportunities and growth across the region.

The building contains multiple facilities including a restaurant, library, and museum that are accessible via modern elevators. Visitors should plan to arrive at a time when they can best enjoy the views from the upper levels.

The building features a rotating floor on level 18 that completes one full rotation every hour. This moving platform allows visitors to view Likas Bay and Mount Kinabalu from constantly changing angles.
