KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's tallest skyscraper, Menara Merdeka 118, has won two World Gold awards in the Office and Sustainable Development categories at the FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2026.
The awards were presented during the 76th FIABCI World Real Estate Congress in Vienna, Austria.
The recognition follows Menara Merdeka 118's wins in the same categories at the FIABCI Malaysia Property Awards 2025, where it also emerged as the winner in the Office and Sustainable Development categories.
PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Ir Ts Izwan Ibrahim said the awards reflected the company's efforts in delivering a development that incorporates sustainability, innovation and operational excellence.
"We are immensely gratified to receive the acclaimed FIABCI World Prix d'Excellence Awards. It is a wonderful testament to a visionary tower that reflects our heritage and rich history, while embracing the future," he said in a statement.
Izwan added that Menara Merdeka 118 was conceived as a global destination that integrates world-class design, sustainability, connectivity and operational excellence, while contributing to the growth and long-term value of the country's real estate sector.
Standing at 678.9 metres, Menara Merdeka 118 is the tallest building in Malaysia and Southeast Asia and the world's second-tallest building. It serves as the centrepiece of a 40-acre integrated development in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
The development has gained international recognition for its sustainability credentials, heritage-led placemaking approach and vision of creating a future-ready urban destination.
The FIABCI World Prix d'Excellence Awards 2026 featured developments from around the world competing across 16 categories. Winners were assessed based on criteria including concept, architecture, sustainability, social impact and heritage value.
