Ilham Tower

Ilham Tower is a 274-meter tall skyscraper in central Kuala Lumpur containing 58 floors with office spaces and serviced apartments distributed across its height. The building features a steel structure combined with diagonal concrete frames visible from the outside and extensive glazed surfaces that give it a modern appearance.

The building was completed by Foster and Partners in 2015 following a five-year construction that started in 2010. This development marked an important phase in the growth of the city's business district during the mid-2010s.

People work across the building daily in open office layouts and serviced apartments that support both corporate and residential activities. The public lobby areas and common spaces function as meeting points for the city's business community.

Direct access to nearby metro stations makes it easy to reach without a car, while underground parking provides an alternative for those driving. The downtown location means visitors can walk to surrounding streets and businesses without difficulty.

The diagonal exoskeleton design using triangulated concrete frames is a rare architectural approach that sets this structure apart from typical modern towers. This external framework creates distinctive visual patterns on the facade that stand out especially in daylight.
