IJM to build Affin Bank HQ at TRX

PETALING JAYA: IJM Corp Bhd has secured a RM505 million contract from Affin Bank Bhd for the construction of its 47-storey office building at Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), Kuala Lumpur.
IJM told Bursa Malaysia its wholly owned subsidiary IJM Construction Sdn Bhd had accepted the letter of award from Affin Bank for the construction and completion of the superstructure works of the office building (Package 4 - Main Building Works).
The duration of the project is 26 months and is expected to be completed by December 2020.
The Grade-A office building has a gross floor area of approximately 76,600 sq m and is built over a land area of 1.25 acres. It comprises a 43-storey office tower on top of a four-storey podium car park and a three-storey basement car park.
Last November, IJM Construction was also awarded the building’s substructure contract in an earlier work package.
In July 2015, Affin Bank bought the land within the financial quarter of the Tun Razak Exchange international financial district for RM255 million to house its new headquarters.
