Tower M, Skyscraper construction project in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Tower M is a proposed megatall skyscraper in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, planned at 700 m with 145 storeys on Lots L, L1 and M beside Persiaran KLCC MRT station. Its precinct pairs three office towers with the six-storey Ombak KLCC retail podium, built with a cantilever structure and an atypical facade. On site, blue glass panels in a mullion grid sit below curving bands of light grey cladding, with a diamond-patterned glass section to one side.
The project was initiated by KLCC Property Holdings, the developer behind the Petronas Twin Towers, following the revised KLCC Development Master Plan in 2012. Samsung C&T Corporation assumed responsibility for executing the first construction phase.
The precinct takes its name from Lot M, one of three parcels (Lots L, L1 and M) covering 1.6 hectares beside Persiaran KLCC MRT station. Its retail podium is named Ombak KLCC, and the masterplan sets aside a gallery space for Petronas. The podium's cantilevered form and atypical facade are visible from the street.
The site sits on Lots L, L1 and M off Persiaran KLCC, with the PY21 Persiaran KLCC MRT station on the Putrajaya Line directly underneath Jalan Binjai. The station is not an interchange, so onward travel needs another line. The plot is fenced as a working construction site and cannot be entered; the cranes and unfinished roof are seen from the surrounding streets.
The first construction phase includes a six-story retail podium with a dedicated gallery space reserved for Petronas. This retail component aims to expand the shopping and cultural offerings in the surrounding KLCC district.
