The Ground-breaking ceremony of the RM300 million state-of-the-art building was performed in October 2005 by the Chief Minister of Sarawak at a site located on the Kuching Isthmus, just east of Kuching City Centre.
Kuching Isthmus is part of the Kuching City Expansion Plan, which is in line with Sarawak Government’s vision to create a modern downtown to co-exist with the old historical Kuching city founded by the White Rajahs.
The Kuching Tower forms part of an integrated development plan by conglomerate Cahya Mata Sarawak (CMS) Group for the 240-acre Kuching Isthmus. Kuching Tower is owned by CMS Hotels Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad. Construction is expected to complete in 2009.
The construction of Kuching Tower is to support the Sarawak Government’s initiative to build a fully-integrated convention centre in Sarawak in order to tap on the lucrative Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions, or more popularly known as MICE, industry.
Is that here the Kuching Tower will be built??
Design of the Kuching Tower
This site is not for Kuching tower, it is for Sarawak Energy new office building. It is now under construction. For the Kuching tower, it is build next to the Kuching convention center which is facing the river.
