KOMTAR
is located in central Georgetown, along the north-south Jalan Penang and
east-west Jalan Magazine. The 65-storey high-rise and mall is one of the most
prominent landmarks in Penang with a viewing deck on the 58th floor offering
views of the island and across the straits to Penang’s mainland.
The
cylindrical skyscraper is the sixth-tallest building in Malaysia and Penang’s
tallest structure. It towers over Georgetown’s western corner, a section of
town unofficially known as Chinatown since it is dominated by clusters of
shuttered two-storey shop-houses and kongsis (clan houses) that have stood here
in a variety of forms since the late 18th century.
