Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said that the iconic Warisan Merdeka Tower with its strategic location will be a new national landmark to adorn Kuala Lumpur's golden triangle

"The project will be a new iconic landmark for Malaysia. The project is estimated to increase the attraction of Kuala Lumpur as an investment and tourism destination," Najib said at the launch of the first phase of the Warisan Merdeka project.

The project is wholly-owned by Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), and its first phase comprising the construction of a 118-storey tower and a shopping complex was started in 2014.
