Warisan Merdeka tower to be 118 storeys, says ministry



Despite earlier denials by developer PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Bhd, the Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry has confirmed that the proposed Warisan Merdeka tower will indeed be increased to 118 storeys from the planned 100 levels.

The ministry disclosed this in a parliamentary written answer to Bukit Bintang MP Fong Kui Lun yesterday.

PNB had earlier denied claims by heritage activitist Teoh Chee Keong that the height of the tower will be increased to about 120 floors.

"At the inception of this project, the original height of the building was envisaged to be approximately 509 metres. Since then, we have revised the height to 600 metres and the extra height is purely for the spire," a PNB spokesperson said in response to Malaysiakini'sinquiry.

The written reply also confirmed that the project will involve the acquisition of private lands surrounding the proposed tower site as well as government land for the project, as well as the construction of additional access roads.

Again, this contradicted with PNB's denial that no private land will be involved.

"For road improvement purposes, there are road widening plans for the existing roads. However, this will be carried out within the road reserves and using part of Menara Warisan's land," the company had said.
