Its funny how the Petronas Twins started all the feuds after beating Sears Tower in the 90's, and now KL118 is the last megatall under construction. Kuala Lumpur really plays a huge role in skyscraper's race.
Merdeka 118 building.. I'm very proud that I'm working there as a site engineer , we are EVERSENDAI , we installing the main steel structures.. really I'm very happy 🙏
I kinda realised that the Merdeka tower went for “quality than quantity”. They could have spent all the money to make it taller than Burj Khalifa. Instead they spent all the money making its infrastructure so unique and making the building sturdy/safe for the coming future. The merdeka tower look like a diamond and sure will be the gem of Malaysia
@@Mingzhoulee not practically giant, but different shaped, the wtc is squared, Petronas is kinda like a star shape like the star on the Malaysian flag. The petronas have a total height of 423 metres. Wtc has total height of 417 metres. Also speaking from a Malaysian but a Chinese Malaysian.
It's also has meaning! The design itself showing how Tunku Abdul Rahman when he declare independent of Malaysia. The spire is showing his hand raising up while he declare it. In short the design show how he declare independent. The design is like that because it's located next to where Malaysia had it independent which is 'Stadium Merdeka'. That's why the name is 'Merdeka' PNB 118. Sorry for interrupted, it's already shown in the video but I just want to tell that the spire is its design and not just for observation deck or increase its height.😊
Not going to happen. The Albukhari is all talk and no action guy. That image you saw online was a few years old and that project at Jalan Sultan Ismail is as good as dead.
Idk if it's a government project it's gonna be on hold for some time I guess since they are literally on debt for a trillion dollar... And now focusing to gain economy...
Why though? Skyscrapers are money pits, they hardly, if ever recoup their initial investement, they contribute significantly to carbon emissions in their construction, operation and maintenance, they cater to no need other than self aggrandizement and vanity.
I do expect that there will be new megatall skyscrapers in the future, maybe not within the next decade (or even couple of decades), but it’s not human nature to say “we’ve reached a good point, let’s just leave it at that” there will always be someone innovating new materials, new construction methods and other innovations that at some point will make it economically viable to build even bigger.
Pnb118's Spire is useable space as an observation deck. Thus, PNB's height without spire is 515m and Burj Khalifa's height without spire is 585m. So basically they are 70m different without spire.
Its crazy. I remember visiting Kuala Lumpur with my Dad when i was a child, when the Petronas Towers were the highest buildings in the world. And today, they're not even the highest in the city.
What? You're incorrect. Petronas Twin Towers is still the tallest building in the city at the moment. That is, until Merdeka 118 gets completed in probably mid 2023 at latest. But even by then, petronas twin towers will still be the second tallest in all of Malaysia.
@@David.d.d.d 😄 I'm not sure 'taking sand from the increasingly desertified sub-sahara to make more energy and water wasteful and environmentally unsustainable buildings' is quite the answer we need.
OMG! thank you B1M. as a Malaysian I so proud of this, just can't wait this future Malaysia tallest building to be completed soon. I staying in Petaling Jaya, 10 KM from KL but often going to KL by train just because want to see the progress of this megatall building
Petronas twin tower use to be the first tallest building in the world outside America 20 years ago, now PNB 118 could be the last megatalls ever constructed
Yeah.. Proudly Malaysian.. Everyday pass this mammoth building during commute to work.. Rising everyday.. The iconic design tribute to our independence father..
it is very understandable Malaysia needs a modern symbol like this, and hope the building can bring Malaysia a better chance to recover from the pandemic and stimulate more economic growth.
i mean ,we already have the petronas twin tower,its abit hard for me to imagine this building to be the symbol ,first of ,its hard to make it out of plastic bottle in school during independents day . i mean we can use one bottle and say "Nah! PNB118 ! the symbol of our country!" . that can do as well.
@@gdgd5194 for a more stable nation like Malaysia, the building of its new economic/cultural center is beneficial, as it not only creates jobs at this period, which can be important for many people suffering from concerns of future savings. After partially constructed, it would attract more business opportunities and transactions, which benefits all related industries who want the market to flow so that they can feed themselves and their employees, who in turns can afford more things to a better life. Such mechanism is what I understand as stimulate economic growth, and is suitable for Malaysia.
@@gdgd5194 I am talking about the rest, because the ones that are really suffering are the poorest who do not have a stable job, or enough savings for a comfortable life. either infrastructures or other projects, are more beneficial for them than those who already find ways working at home. the workers are the ones can be literally saved, not other type of careers.

Absolutely love this series....interesting and informative, I’m in the construction industry in nyc and find your take on things dead on. Thanks for all the effort, well done.
I think one of the things also pushing away from megatalls is the realisation that space is better utilised when you develop medium height buildings in a dense urban network. Such tall buildings push everything into one area and make getting people in and out of it more difficult.
Don't scroll down. There is a lot of people who still argue about the spire! The spire was the one of public attraction. Where visitors van walk up to 600m+ above to get inside and see those skyview of Kuala Lumpur
@@jackz4713 thanks. I certainly will! People were very friendly to me (I'm almost 2 meters tall and they used to call me "Petronas"). I love the mix of modernity and jungle in Kuala Lumpur. And I still have to visit the beautiful beaches in the country.
It's such a joy to see this building rising up from my apartment window, 10km away. I could see the building rising so fast that it's gradually overshadowing PTT and TRX every day.

Indeed. KL 118 could be the last mega tall skyscraper in the world and in Malaysia. However, don't forget there still still many super tall skyscrapers are currently under construction in Malaysia. These are Signature Tower from BBCC, Oxley Towers, Fairmont Hotels, 8 conlays, Towers alongside from the KL118 construction site & TRX financial district construction site.
5:02 world's tallest twin tower behind Petronas Twins Tower 452M Also world's largest hotel behind at the top of the mountains 1800m above sea level.. First World Hotel,Genting Highlands with 7351 hotel rooms.
It's going to be way more impressive over KL than the Burj. Dubai is a weird desert city, but KL is a crazy metropolis so it will be awesome to see such a huge tower there
I never really see it being said but god damn the music in these vids is great. I don’t even know why but it feels so immersive and fits with what I’m hearing/seeing. Great vid as usual
Skyscrapers will continue to be built. They are iconic and often define cities and I think people gravitate to tall buildings. There is something awe-inspiring about them.
Don't worry, I believe we will build much more tall structures in the future. It'll be a neseccity at some point, since we'll run out of space in highly habitable and will have to build upwards.
@@user-fg3dz5kv7q nah man, it won't be necessary at some point in the future. A lot of these buildings aren't even being used to full capacity. These buildings are expensive and use a lot of resources, most of the time they mostly built to feed into the ego of a nation. They are really hard to justify their construction.
Fun fact: the spire will have the tallest observation deck in the world at around 610 meters and there is a possibility that might there be even VERY expensive luxurious that the rich might even live there or a 5+ star hotels so very rich tourists can stay :D
My personal favorite “Megatall” skyscraper is the Miapolis tower in Miami, Florida. It would have been the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the second tallest in the world. Sadly it got cancelled because of the Great Recession.
Amazing structure and clever design to create so much space. This to me is more impressive than Burj Kalifa!
Yes i do think so, the design is showing the modernity, fully glassy and this skyscraper is driving KL City into modern city in the future....
Yes.. somehow pnb118 looks better than Burj khalifa
Well one was built in 2004 and the other in 2021. More to flex in the future
@@AA-tz2bm Burj Kalifa was completed in 2010, not 2004 ;)

What about a building have it both? Merdeka PNB118 is the one!
The end goal here is to have something futuristic. In that sense, height and design is a major role.
Also mega-talls make the surrounding skyscrapers and high rises look insignificant, making the skyline look lopsided

Height is important tho to fit people and conserve nature

Can relate to ping an finance center. Reduced from 659m to 599m
@@jackz4713 yeah lol it’s quite unsatisfied to see the 9 numbers.. 1 meter more and it can be 600 meters
Indeed. KL 118 could be the last mega tall skyscraper in the world and in Malaysia. However, don't forget there still still many super tall skyscrapers are currently under construction in Malaysia. These are Signature Tower from BBCC, Oxley Towers, Fairmont Hotels, 8 conlays, Towers alongside from the KL118 construction site & TRX financial district construction site.
Tower M too (700m)
It feel so sad to hear that this is predicted to be the last megatall building. I work here and I want to see more beautiful skyscrapers.
The music at the end of video there was just..... Marvellous
B1M simply the Best construction Chanel
What a beautiful building.
Every1 says they r 1st but the 1st person is already watching the video
the first person would be the editor. Quite shure he does not comment on youtube lol
out of the billions of people that use youtube, you’re probably never first
i could see the unfinished skyscraper from my hotel back in 2019
i had no idea that it was gonna be that tall
5:02 world's tallest twin tower behind
Petronas Twins Tower 452M
Also world's largest hotel behind at the top of the mountains 1800m above sea level..
First World Hotel,Genting Highlands with 7351 hotel rooms.
i wish more mega tall buildings are constructed in the future
Oh we have more planned up. This will not be the last one.
Outstanding video, as always!
This building pnb 118 is awesome love its design
Very impressive building but I hope it will not be the last. All the ones whose construction began should be completed. Bravo B1M!
It's going to be way more impressive over KL than the Burj. Dubai is a weird desert city, but KL is a crazy metropolis so it will be awesome to see such a huge tower there
Thank you so much for your compliment🥰😇😄❤️..i appreciate it🙏🏻🇲🇾🌺🥰
I don’t really understand your logic. If anything, its more impressive that they built the Burj in a desert.
So informative. So professional. Excellent content for those who love architecture/infrastructure/construction technology.
Ah wow, thank you so much!!
I never really see it being said but god damn the music in these vids is great. I don’t even know why but it feels so immersive and fits with what I’m hearing/seeing.
Great vid as usual
Amazing building!!
Amazing video. Great information and beautifully edited.
Really cool structural design, great video!
Skyscrapers will continue to be built. They are iconic and often define cities and I think people gravitate to tall buildings. There is something awe-inspiring about them.
Love vids like this about skyscrapers
NOOOOOO..... I wanted the skyscraper boom to last forever
Wait for the space elevator boom
Don't worry, I believe we will build much more tall structures in the future. It'll be a neseccity at some point, since we'll run out of space in highly habitable and will have to build upwards.
@@user-fg3dz5kv7q Or we’ll simply leave earth lol
@@user-fg3dz5kv7q nah man, it won't be necessary at some point in the future. A lot of these buildings aren't even being used to full capacity. These buildings are expensive and use a lot of resources, most of the time they mostly built to feed into the ego of a nation. They are really hard to justify their construction.
Bust already
Fun fact: the spire will have the tallest observation deck in the world at around 610 meters and there is a possibility that might there be even VERY expensive luxurious that the rich might even live there or a 5+ star hotels so very rich tourists can stay :D
My personal favorite “Megatall” skyscraper is the Miapolis tower in Miami, Florida. It would have been the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the second tallest in the world. Sadly it got cancelled because of the Great Recession.
looked hideous anyway
And Miami is sinking lol
B1M upload : instant thumbs-up on the video! 👍
Ah thank you so much!!
Fascinating! This gives me more motivation for my business! Thank you B1M :) & Keep it up!
