It works well with the Petronas nearby, and they work well with it.

The curvyness of the building is good, and the setbacks at the top are laid out well.

8/10

Nice elliptical shape and I like the design at the top. Looks shorter than what it is.

Beautiful building!

at 212 meters this skyscraper is so tall, but it look too short because of Petronas nearby. I give it 8 out of 10:moods:

Very nice structure...cool looking

8/10

you know you can't hotlink from tripod?

8.5/10

Nice contrast with the Petronas !

1 of my favourite scrapers in KL

anymore pics especially at night:D

i think this is one of the world's top 200 buildings. why is it not moved yet??

No it's not one of the top 200. The last building on the list is 215m, so this one doesn't quite make it.

oh, poor Maxis!

where do you get the info from??

I like it, but it is far too close to PT...it just can't compete...it can't coexist! I just think that it was bad placement, no matter how well it works visually.

Looks pretty good.It's just that it looks so small next to Petronas :) 8.0/10

5 Looks pretty bland... especially when it is dwarfed by Petronas...

one of my favourite...10/10

beautiful building. so slender, so curvy, nice top. even a nice name! one of the better asian skyscrapers perhaps. at last, a good mark from me... 8!

5/10

Fits the Petronas Towers good, 8/10

one of the best in KL 9/10:guns1:

o thought this was taller and in the top 200, guess not. i like it, 9

I like the curves and the way it steps back at the top. 8/10

8.0

7.5/10...Probably the perfect skyscraper to go along and be so close to the Petronas Towers. Though because it's so close, it doesn't get the attention it deserves. I don't like the top, it's overdetailed.

bland, but not bad. 7.5/10

7.5

Nice... I like how it splits in the center. :D

8/10

i love the top. facade could be better 8/10

Nice shape, nice top. Maybe he 3 floors in the middle should have been left away. 8

Looks somewhat eroded/unfinished....as said, it combines nicely with Petronas.

6.5/10

9,5 lve it

Nice looking building!! I like the top. 8.5/10
If only it wasnt that near to Petronas...

9/10


really a great one

8/10... Looks shorty :D

Beautiful building and it looks great at night

One of my favourite in Malaysia

I love the steps on the top! 8.5/10

what a nice companion to the petronas. 8.5/10

6.5/10, unique design. the top bit looks like a chair

I love it. 9/10

looking up

the shape and the top setbacks really help this one from being sucked up by petronas. but that white band in the middle looks just wrong.

8

I give it a 9/10.. (nice!)

10/10

Cool tower, on the first pic really dwarfed by the petronas towers. 9.0

The 'cut-away' section around the middle seems a bit unnecessary, but otherwise it's a nice design that complements the Petronas Towers well.

The top is certainly interesting.

8/10 together with Petronas, they're landmarks of KL. :cheers:

Beautiful, 8/10

6-Its a nice looking tower, nice curves, horrible placement. It might look better if it wasn't being overpowered in every single picture by its neighboring giants. it would do better in another city. imagine this sitting pretty along the water in canary wharf. There it would be 8 or better

interesting 8/10

look pretty, if it can higher somemore is more perfect

8.5/10. Looks like a half Petronas from some angles. :D

Nice tower. 7.

8,5/10

Looks good 8.0

Overshadowed by Petronas and too close to it. A few more metres away would be good.Nice building overall, nice texturing 7.5/10

9/10

Looks too much like the Petronas, lacks identity.

Alone, it would look nice.

6.5/10

Btw Malaysians, what does "Menara" mean?

Menara means "tower" in the local language.

7/10

Menara means "tower" in the local language.

Ahh...I see I see. I've seen the word quite often, also in Indonesian projects, I think. At first I thought it was "Company" or "Corporation"

Thanks for clearing that up.

Ur welcome.....anytime.Yeah Indonesian and Malaysian language have similarities because it's from the same basic group. "Company" is called Syarikat and "Corporation" is called Koperasi or Perbadanan is the local language.

just like it 7.5/10

:okay: looks great

9.5/10 Excellent comtemporary design

5 / 10

a building with partially exposed skeleton? what's the message, if any? a protest against acid rain?

6/10

I don't think it's a good idea to expose the core at the top. It's a waste of usable space and it looks weird.

8/10 :)

Look like the little brother of the Petronas Twin Tower.

It looks so small next to Petronas huaauhua

8/10.

9.0

The design complements the PTT very nicely.

It would have been a 10 if it's taller.:)

Have seen better, a 6,5 out of 10.

quite nice 7.5/10

I truly think this is a very elegant tower, not overdoing it, but original at the same time and perfectly complementing the Petronas Towers. And it's not easy to exist just next to such a massive landmark. It pulls it out anyway. Great stuff.

It works well with the Petronas nearby, and they work well with it.

The curvyness of the building is good, and the setbacks at the top are laid out well.
