Menara Tun Perak, formerly Menara Maybank, on offer for full or partial sale

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — Menara Tun Perak, the iconic Kuala Lumpur skyscraper formerly known as Menara Maybank, has reportedly been put up for sale after serving as the banking giant’s headquarters for nearly four decades.

According to a sponsored announcement published by property news website Mingtiandi , investors are being offered the opportunity to acquire either a partial or full interest in the building, although no asking price was disclosed.

Standing 244 metres tall along Jalan Tun Perak, the building was completed in 1988 and remains one of the capital’s most recognisable landmarks.

The proposed sale comes months after Maybank relocated its headquarters to Merdeka 118 on May 6, ending its longstanding use of the tower as its head office.

On July 28, Maybank announced that its new headquarters would be renamed Menara Merdeka Maybank, while its former headquarters would take the name Menara Tun Perak.

Property consultancy firms Knight Frank Malaysia and CBRE|WTW have reportedly been jointly appointed to advise on the proposed sale.

The building’s location near Chinatown, Central Market, Dataran Merdeka and several public transport stations is being promoted as a key attraction for potential investors.

According to the announcement, interested buyers could retain the property for commercial use, upgrade the existing building or explore converting it into a hotel, serviced accommodation or mixed-use development, subject to feasibility studies and regulatory approvals.

Knight Frank Malaysia head of capital markets James Buckley said properties of such prominence in Kuala Lumpur's historic commercial district were seldom offered to investors.

“Landmark assets of this nature, particularly those located within the city’s historic core, are rarely made available for investment,” he said.

CBRE|WTW director Marcus Yeo said the building's location and potential for alternative uses could appeal to investors amid the continued redevelopment of Kuala Lumpur's city centre.

吉隆坡，10 月 29 日讯——据报道，吉隆坡标志性摩天大楼 Menara Tun Perak（原名 Menara Maybank）在作为这家银行业巨头的总部近四十年后，已被挂牌出售。

据房地产新闻网站明迪迪发布的一则赞助公告称，投资者有机会收购该建筑的部分或全部权益，但并未透露要价。

该建筑沿敦霹雳路高 244 米，于 1988 年竣工，至今仍是首都最知名的地标之一。

在马来亚银行于 5 月 6 日将其总部迁至默迪卡 118 大厦几个月后，该银行结束了长期以来将该大厦用作总部的局面。

7月28日，马来亚银行宣布其新总部将更名为马来亚银行独立大厦（Menara Merdeka Maybank），而其原总部将更名为敦霹雳大厦（Menara Tun Perak）。

据报道，马来西亚莱坊地产咨询公司和世邦魏理仕|WTW已被联合委任为此次拟议出售提供咨询服务。

该建筑靠近唐人街、中央市场、独立广场和多个公共交通站点，其地理位置被宣传为吸引潜在投资者的关键因素。

根据公告，有意购买者可以保留该物业用于商业用途，升级现有建筑，或考虑将其改建为酒店、服务式公寓或混合用途开发项目，但需进行可行性研究并获得监管部门批准。

莱坊马来西亚资本市场主管詹姆斯·巴克利表示，吉隆坡历史悠久的商业区内如此显赫的房产很少向投资者开放。

他说：“这类地标性资产，特别是位于城市历史核心区域的资产，很少会对外开放投资。”

CBRE|WTW 董事 Marcus Yeo 表示，在吉隆坡市中心持续重建的背景下，该建筑的地理位置和潜在的替代用途可能会吸引投资者。
