BHL Tower, Commercial skyscraper in George Town, Malaysia
BHL Tower is a 30-story office building on Northam Road in the Central Business District of George Town, rising 108 meters above ground. It contains multiple office spaces and retail areas typical of contemporary commercial developments in the region.
The building was constructed in 1995 and marked an important phase in the development of George Town's financial district. Its completion contributed to the modernization of the business area and reflected the city's economic growth during that period.
The tower houses the Consulate-General of Japan, serving as a key hub for diplomatic and consular services in the region. This presence reflects the city's role as an important international business center.
The building is accessible during standard business hours on weekdays, though access to individual floors depends on the tenant or business operating there. Visitors should inquire beforehand if specific areas require prior arrangements or passes.
The building houses a CIMB Bank branch that evolved from the original BHL Bank which first occupied the structure after its opening. This evolution shows how financial institutions and tenants transform over time within such commercial complexes.
