of around 46,452 square metres, reported Channel News Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The 106-storey glass and steel tower is the first development project ready for the public in Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), the new financial district in Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n<p>Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) started the project, until prosecutors later discovered misappropriation of the state fund, costing around USD4.5billion.<\/p>\n<p>In March last year, the government of former Prime Minister Najib Razak who happens to be the co-founder of 1MDB in 2009, with a 51 percent stake in the project, found themselves under investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The former prime minister bought his share just two months before the voters ousted him due to corruption.<\/p>\n<p><a

completion of the 492-metre tower and the support they received from the new administration led by Mahathir Mohamad.<\/p>\n<p>As for the opportunity costs and investments shouldered by the government, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng is positive that they would be able to recover it.<\/p>\n<p>Mulia official Patrick Honan said that the skyscraper, with its breathtaking views of the city, has already locked down a fifth of its 241,548 sqm rental space.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We expect the take up to grow to 120,774 sqm by the end of next year,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Prospective tenants include e-commerce platforms, a serviced office and co-working brand, a Hong Kong-based personal care brand, and a top Fortune 500 global consulting
