Hap Seng unveils KL Midtown Signature Office Towers with confirmed tenancies

KUALA LUMPUR (July 23): Hap Seng Land Sdn Bhd, the property division of Hap Seng Consolidated Bhd, has unveiled the newly completed KL Midtown Signature Office Towers, a Grade A office development within the KL Midtown integrated development in Dutamas, Kuala Lumpur.

Speaking at a media briefing, Hap Seng Land director of property management Manfred Weber said occupiers are increasingly seeking office space that meets sustainability and digital infrastructure requirements, reflecting a broader shift towards higher-quality workplaces.

The first tenant is scheduled to take possession of its office space on Friday, with fit-out works expected to begin the following week, Weber said. Two more tenants are expected to commence fit-outs by the end of the year, while the majority of occupancies are anticipated next year.

Weber declined to identify the first tenant, citing the company's request for privacy, but later told EdgeProp that the tenant is from the legal sector. Rental rates for the office space start from RM7.50 per sq ft.

The twin towers have received LEED Gold certification and are expected to obtain GreenRE Platinum certification. They were also designed to meet the certification requirements for MD Nexus, with the certification process currently underway.

Built to support modern workplace requirements, the towers feature high ceiling heights, column-free floor plates, green building features and a dual-feeder power supply to enhance operational reliability.

The development comprises 19 floors with a total net leasable area of 453,000 sq ft. Each floor has a ceiling height of 4.2m and a column-free floor plate of about 11,956 sq ft. The towers also feature landscaped rooftop terraces and are supported by more than 3,000 basement parking bays.

Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the architectural firm behind projects such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and One World Trade Center in New York, the towers form part of the broader KL Midtown mixed-use development.

According to Hap Seng Land, the office towers provide direct access to Level 5 of the upcoming AEON Mall KL Midtown, which is slated to open in November, as well as a connection to Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown.

Weber said the development is also expected to benefit from a planned MRT station, adding that accessibility, integrated amenities and ample parking are among the factors supporting its appeal to prospective occupiers.
