KL118 Tower Raft Foundation

Merdeka 118 (also known as PNB 118, and formerly known as KL 118 and Warisan Merdeka Tower) is a 118-storey, 644-metre (2,113-foot) megatall skyscraper currently under construction in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As of November 2021, it is the tallest building under construction in the world.

The building’s name, Merdeka, commemorates the country’s freedom, with the symbolic meaning in the Malay language for ‘freedom’ and ‘independence’, as well as referring to Malaysia’s Independence Day (Hari Merdeka). Upon completion, the structure is expected to become the tallest building in Malaysia (surpassing the Petronas Towers) and in the Southeast Asian region. It will also be the second-tallest building in the world once finished, surpassing the 632 m (2,073 ft) Shanghai Tower, taking the title by virtue of its 144-metre-tall (472 ft) spire.
