Tun Mustapha Tower

Skyscraper in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia

Tun Mustapha Tower is a 122-metre, 30-story[1][2] glass tower in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. It was built in 1976 by Mori Building Company, a Japanese builder. The building was formerly named Yayasan Sabah Tower as it housed Sabah Foundation (Yayasan Sabah), a state-sponsored foundation to promote education and economic development in the state. In 2001, the tower was renamed to honour Tun Datu Mustapha, a former Sabah chief minister.
