Kuala Lumpur office moving to iconic CPP-engineered Ilham Tower

CPP is pleased to announce that our Kuala Lumpur office is moving to Ilham Tower, the fourth tallest structure in Malaysia. This new location is all the more exciting because CPP had the privilege of wind tunnel testing this very building to determine cladding pressures, foundation loads and environmental wind conditions. We couldn’t be more pleased to be relocating into a building that we helped engineer.

Ilham Tower designed by Foster + Partners Architects rises 298 meters (978 feet) above Kuala Lumpur and has 64 floors above ground. The first six floors include an art gallery, restaurants, and vital consumer services like convenience stores, dry cleaners, and florists. The 7th through 35th floors are reserved for offices, and 228 serviced apartments occupy the 39th through 53rd floors.

Between the 35th and 39th floors, meeting rooms, a business center, an auditorium, and even a gym and spa offer everything that occupants need to work hard by day and unwind at night. Rounding out the amenities, a sky terrace on the 37th floor offers a panoramic view of the city and al fresco dining.  Wind conditions within the terraces were optimized during the CPP wind tunnel testing process.

All in all, Ilham Tower represents approximately 400,000 square feet (37,000 square meters) of occupied space connected by 22 lifts estimated to offer a wait time of less than half a minute during peak usage hours With breeze availability in the outdoor spaces for summer cooling, a high-performance, low emissivity façade that features intelligent glass and shading devices, Ilham Tower is optimized for occupant comfort.
