Astaka Holdings has topped off The Astaka’s twin residential towers (below) at its One Bukit Senyum township in Johor Bahru. The towers have a gross development value (GDV) of RM1.4 billion ($454 million).

The Astaka twin towers, which stand at 1,020 ft and 915 ft above sea level, are the region’s tallest residential towers. They supersede the current tallest residential tower, The River South Tower in Bangkok, which stands at 846.4 ft. The taller of The Astaka’s towers has 70 floors, five more than the other.

The project is set to be completed in 2018 and will have 438 residential units. The Astaka will rank as Johor’s tallest building and one of Malaysia’s top 10 tallest buildings.
