Ilham Tower (also known as IB Tower) sets to be the fifth tallest infrastructure in Malaysia after its completion in 2015.

Ilham Tower will be made up of 60 floors. 33 will be dedicated to the office suites, while 22 are for the serviced apartment units. The remaining would be taken up by a food court, an art gallery, a banking hall, a convenience store, a cafe, a business centre and other facilities. The desire for column-free space leads to the building's unique facade. The exterior is then said to be designed with the idea of shading the interiors. Obviously, this property is an architectural dream. Moreover, the height of this building means that the top floors are a perfect spot to catch the city skyline.
More amazing aspects of Ilham Tower are, first of all, the 14-metre high lobby ceiling. Imagine walking to an expansive lobby, a big statement of the standard of this property. Next is the high-number of parking bays, to serve the drivers to and fro the building. A total of 913 parking bays will be available to the people that go to Ilham Baru Tower. Then, the high-rise offices will also come with raised floors. This will help to prepare a controlled environment for super-sensitive apparatus.
