Jesselton Quay

Location: Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

Client: SBC Corp & Suria Capital Holdings

Project Year: 2014

Cost: Over 2m

Jesselton Quay is an ambitious mixed-use scheme comprising commercial, residential, retail, hotel and generous public realm. Conceptually, the scheme consists of fractured floor plates and elevations, and a strong sense of flow through the scheme in reference to geological valleys, culminating at the sea. The site borders the South China Sea in Kota Kinabalu, and seeks to create a new city extension and marina which revisit the area’s history as one of Malaysia’s original waterfront cities. With distant views across the sea and back towards Mount Kinabalu and the inland mountain ranges, Jesselton will provide a very popular tourist destination.
