MBf Tower is a commercial skyscraper within George Town in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located at Northam Road within the city's Central Business District (CBD), the 31-storey building, completed in 1994, is one of the oldest skyscrapers along the coastal street.[1][2][3]

History

Construction of the MBf Tower began in 1990 and was completed by 1994, making it one of the first skyscrapers to be built along Northam Road.[2] The building originally housed the Penang branch of MBf Finance Berhad, which was later acquired by AmBank in 2001.[2][4]

One of the tallest skyscrapers in Penang, the MBf Tower was built on the site of the demolished Northam Court,[5] a 16-storey luxurious condominium project under construction which was demolished just before completion in 1980 when it began tilting and was at risk of collapse.[6][7]
