The Kuching City Tower (officially known as Menara Kuching) is a building under construction in the city of Kuching, Malaysia. This 39-story tower glass sculpture that reaches 150 meters high is located in Kuching, Sarawak.[1] The ground breaking ceremony was performed in 2005 by the Sarawak chief minister and it was scheduled to be completed in 2008[2] but the project has since been delayed.
Upon completion, it will be the tallest building in Borneo, surpassing Wisma Sanyan in Sibu.[3]
