Jesselton Residences, Residential complex in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
Jesselton Residences is a 28-storey triplet tower in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, combining condominium units with the Jesselton Mall, described as Borneo's first and only upscale duty-free mall. The complex was developed by Palikota Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Jesselton Waterfront Holdings.
Originally developed by Palikota Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Jesselton Waterfront Holdings, the project was awarded in 2014 to French firm Vinci Grand Projects Sdn Bhd to complete it. In early 2017 the building received its certificate of occupancy and opened for retail leasing following completion.
Jesselton Mall introduced the region's first upscale duty-free shopping experience, transforming how locals and visitors approach retail in Borneo. The integration of residences with commercial space created a mixed-use destination that shapes the waterfront's daily life.
The complex sits directly on the waterfront with convenient access to the harbor and downtown attractions. Its location offers open views of the water, nearby natural landmarks, and easy connections to other parts of the city.
Views from the units extend to Mount Kinabalu on the distant horizon, rising prominently above the city landscape. The Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and Likas Bay are also visible from many of the residential floors.
