Menara 238 (GPS: 3.16851, 101.7132) is a 36-storey skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur. It is located at the junction of Jalan Tun Razak with Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz. Menara 238 was previously known as Menara Marinara. It was bought by KPJ Healthcare in October, 2013, to house its headquarters, for RM206 million. The company has relocated all its non-revenue generating services to the building.
I happened to get to know the architect of Menara Marinara. He told me that the building was built by a Bumiputra company called PekelilingTriangle. It was designed by the architectural firm of Jurubena Bertiga International Sdn. The 1997 financial crash caused the construction to stall, and the owner was unable to sell it. So the property came under a government body set up to rescue failing Bumiputra businesses. After the building was acquired, the new owner did some modification to the original design, and it becomes known today as Menara 238.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
