Jesselton Residences, Residential complex in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
Description
Jesselton Residences is a residential tower development on the Kota Kinabalu waterfront comprising three 28-story buildings with integrated shopping facilities. The complex houses units of various sizes alongside an upscale commercial center, supported by amenities including an infinity pool, gym, sauna, and recreation areas.
History
Construction was awarded to French firm Vinci Grand Projects in 2014, with the complex receiving its occupancy certificate in early 2017. The development represents a major milestone in transforming Kota Kinabalu's waterfront into a modern mixed-use destination.
