Menara Citibank, Corporate office tower in Golden Triangle district, Malaysia
Menara Citibank is a 50-storey Class A commercial tower near the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Completed in 1995, it houses the headquarters of Citibank Syariah and has a basement parking facility for employees and visitors.
Menara Citibank was developed by The Lion Group and completed in 1995, originally named Menara Lion or Lion Tower. Citibank took a 50% stake and moved in in 2000, giving the building its present name. In August 2009 Hap Seng Consolidated bought a 50% stake in owner Inverfin Sdn Bhd from CapitaLand (30%) and Amsteel Corp Bhd (20%), after IOI Group dropped its earlier bid.
The tower's name changed from Menara Lion to Menara Citibank after Citibank took a 50% stake and moved in in 2000; the building also houses the headquarters of Citibank Syariah. Its ownership is split: Inverfin Sdn Bhd is equally held by Hap Seng Consolidated Bhd and Menara Citi Holding Co.
The tower stands close to the Petronas Towers, and its basement holds a parking facility for employees and visitors. The sources give no details on rail links, taxi stands or bus stops at the entrance, so plan arrival by road or on foot from the surrounding Golden Triangle streets.
The tower was originally named Menara Lion, after developer The Lion Group, and kept that name until Citibank took a 50% stake and moved in during 2000. Ownership later shifted: in August 2009 Hap Seng Consolidated bought a 50% stake in owner Inverfin from CapitaLand and Amsteel Corp, after IOI Group dropped its bid.
