Jesselton Twin Towers
Jesselton Twin Towers is a completed two-tower development in the Golden Triangle of Kota Kinabalu, by Jesselton Properties. Each tower rises 56 storeys to 192 m — the tallest building in Sabah and on the island of Borneo — holding 819 homes on 4.88 acres, alongside a landscaped commercial annexe.
The provisioning is what stands out. Ten units to a floor served by five high-speed passenger lifts plus a service lift, 1,640 car park bays with two allocated to every unit except the studio, and maintenance at RM0.33 psf. Security runs to four tiers.
Ten typical layouts run 649 sq ft studio to 2,041 sq ft, including a dual-key Type E at 1,641 sq ft, with five penthouses above that. Facilities are split across a pool deck with a 50 m Olympic-length lap pool, sauna and steam rooms, a dance studio and gymnasium; a sky deck with sky gardens, private dining rooms and a library; and a main lobby level with EV charging, a driver lounge and car wash bays.
The development is finished — Tower B completed in December 2022 and Tower A in February 2023 — so what you view is what you get.

What the numbers actually say
819 homes on 4.88 acres is about 168 units per acre. That is typical for a high-rise site of this size.
There are 10 units to a floor. The lower that number, the less corridor you share and the shorter the wait at the lift lobby.
Parking runs to 1,640 bays — 1,600 residential and visitor, 40 for the commercial annexe. Two allocated bays per unit, one for the Type A studio against 819 homes. Confirm how many bays are tied to the specific layout you are shown — allocation is by unit type, not a building-wide average.
There are 10 layouts here, spanning 649 to 2,041 sq ft. A spread that wide means the building will hold very different households side by side — worth asking which stack your floor sits in before you choose.
The development is finished and the certificate of completion has been issued, so what you view is what you get — no construction risk and no waiting period, but also no scope to vary the layout.

| Type | Size | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 649 sq ft | Studio | 1 | 82 units; one allocated car park bay |
| B | 832 sq ft | 1+1 | 1 | issued as B1 and B2, 283 units between them; one bedroom plus a study area |
| C | 1,270 sq ft | 2 | 2 | 80 units |
| D1 | 1,357 sq ft | 2+1 | 2 | 82 units; two bedrooms plus a study area |
| D2 | 1,357 sq ft | 2+1 | 2 | 41 units; same area as D1, different arrangement |

Ten typical layouts run 649 to 2,041 sq ft, plus five penthouses from 3,692 to 6,982 sq ft that are not tabled here. The three D types share the same 1,357 sq ft built-up as three different arrangements, so compare the drawings rather than the number. Type E is the dual key — two bedrooms plus a self-contained studio behind its own door, 82 of them. Every unit gets two allocated car park bays except the Type A studio, which gets one. The building is finished, so the plan you are shown is the plan you can walk through.

Location & Connectivity
Jesselton Twin Towers stands off Jalan Bersatu and Jalan Lintas in Damai, inside what Kota Kinabalu calls its Golden Triangle. Jalan Lintas is the road that carries most of the city’s cross-town traffic, so the address reaches the airport, the waterfront malls and the hospitals without depending on one route.
The immediate outlook is the unusual part. The towers overlook Sabah Golf & Country Club, with the bay on one side and Mount Kinabalu visible from the upper floors on a clear day. At 192 m this is the tallest building in Sabah and on Borneo, which means the views from the upper half are not something a neighbouring development can take away.
- Sabah Golf & Country Club — overlooked by the towers
- Kota Kinabalu Golden Triangle — the surrounding district
- Jalan Lintas and Jalan Bersatu — immediate access roads
- Kota Kinabalu city centre
- Kota Kinabalu International Airport

Is Jesselton Twin Towers Right For You?
Why Buy at Jesselton Twin Towers
It is finished, and it is the tallest thing on Borneo. Tower B completed December 2022, Tower A February 2023. No construction risk, no VP date to chase — you inspect the actual unit, the actual corridor and the actual view. At 192 m the outlook from the upper half cannot be built out by a neighbour.
Ten doors a floor, six lifts. Five high-speed passenger lifts plus a service lift on a ten-unit plate is genuinely generous, and on a 56-storey tower the lift count is the difference between a building that works and one that does not. It cannot be added later.
Two car park bays for almost every unit. 1,640 bays in total. Only the 649 sq ft studio gets one. In Kota Kinabalu, where the household car count is high and street parking is scarce, that is a real advantage.
The facilities are split across three levels, not stacked on one deck. A 50 m Olympic-length lap pool, sauna and steam rooms, a dance studio and gym on the pool deck; sky gardens, private dining rooms and a library on the sky deck; EV charging, a driver lounge and car wash bays at the lobby. Maintenance is RM0.33 psf.
Ten layouts from 649 to 2,041 sq ft. A studio, one-bed-plus-study, three different two-bedroom arrangements at the same area, a dual key, and three-bedroom plans up to 2,041 — unusually wide for a single development, so the building suits very different households.
Why Jesselton Twin Towers May Not Suit You
It is leasehold, not freehold. The 999-year term to 2922 is long enough that financing treats it much like freehold, but a future sale still needs state consent and the title is a master title with strata subdivision. Read the title search rather than the brochure.
819 homes in two towers is a large community. The lift and car park provisioning answers for it, but the pool deck and sky deck are shared by all of them. Visit on a weekend afternoon, not a weekday morning, before you decide.
The completion was late against the original schedule. The developer's own summary targeted the third quarter of 2022; Tower A actually completed in February 2023. That is history now the building is up, but it is worth knowing when you assess the developer.
Three of the layouts share one area. D1, D2 and D3 are all 1,357 sq ft. The difference is arrangement, not size, so compare the actual drawings — and since the building is finished, walk the unit rather than choosing from a plan.
Buying in a completed building means no developer package. There is nothing to negotiate at construction stage and no scope to vary the layout. What is built is what you buy, and any renovation is yours to fund.
