Petronas Twin Towers Description Standing 452m (1483ft) tall, the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur was the tallest building in the world until Taipei's 101 was built measuring 508m (1666ft). Other projects for even taller buildings are currently underway and are likely to push Petronas further down the list in coming years. Nevertheless, the development also includes a 50 acre (20 hectare) park designed by the late Brazilian landscape artist Roberto Burle Marx, a retail complex and an entertainment centre. Completed in 1997 and designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates, the building consists of two similarly shaped towers joined by a 58m (192ft) Skybridge on the 41st and 42nd floors. Entrance is free but visitors do a need a ticket of which a limite number are issued each day. Air: Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (domestic flights).
