According to the World Tallest 50 Urban Agglomeration 2010 Projection by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, Kuala Lumpur was ranked 10th among cities to have most buildings above 100 metres with a combined height of 34,035 metres from its 244 high rise buildings[1]. As of 2019, the city of Kuala Lumpur has over 1,900[2] completed high-rises building, the majority of it being located in the KLCC, Mont' Kiara and Old Downtown. In the city, there are about 246 skyscrapers[3]. The Petronas Twin Towers located in the city centre were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and remain the tallest twin towers in the world.

Kuala Lumpur's history of the first high rise building began with the completion of the 77 m (253 ft) 20-storey in the city which was built in December 1959, Malaysian Houses of Parliament[4][5]. The first building over 100 m in Kuala Lumpur was Bangunan Sime Bank also known as UMBC Building[6], which was built in late 1960s and completed in 1971. The first skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur was Menara Bumiputera (150.5 m / 494 ft)[7] also known as Menara Bank Muamalat which was completed in 1978 and Menara Maybank (243.5 m / 799 ft)[8] which was the first skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur above 200 m, holds the 'unbeatable' record of being the tallest building for nearly 10 years. Kuala Lumpur went through a major building boom in the 1970s and 1980s that resulted from the city's rapid industrialisation. From its 1987 completion, the Maybank Tower became the tallest building in the city also Malaysia; the 243.5 m (799 ft) structure was also the third-tallest building in Asia and the world outside of North America after Overseas Union Bank Centre (280 m/919 ft)[9] in Singapore and 63 Building (250 m/819 ft)[10] in Seoul, South Korea, and more taller than Sunshine 60 (240 m/787 ft)[11] in Tokyo, Japan. The skyscraper-building boom continued during the 1990s and 2000s, many of them residential towers. Since 2000, there has been a sharp increase in the number of skyscrapers under construction in the city area, particularly in the KLCC, Mont' Kiara and Bukit Bintang. KLCC is a 100-acre land area with mixed developments in various stages of construction, the area is divided into several plots of land, each with a specific purpose including Suria KLCC, Binjai on the park, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, KLCC Park, KLCC LRT station and KLCC District Cooling.

It has a development period of 15 years to be completed in phases with the initial Phase 1 slated for completion in 2018.[13].
