Jesselton Twin Towers KK | Floor Plan & Unit Types
Jesselton Twin Towers is a completed two-tower development in the Golden Triangle of Kota Kinabalu, by Jesselton Properties. Each tower rises 56 storeys to 192 m — the tallest building in Sabah and on the island of Borneo — holding 819 homes on 4.88 acres, alongside a landscaped commercial annexe.
The provisioning is what stands out. Ten units to a floor served by five high-speed passenger lifts plus a service lift, 1,640 car park bays with two allocated to every unit except the studio. Security runs to four tiers.
Ten typical layouts run 649 sq ft studio to 2,041 sq ft, including a dual-key Type E at 1,641 sq ft, with five penthouses above that. Facilities are split across a pool deck with a 50 m Olympic-length lap pool, sauna and steam rooms, a dance studio and gymnasium; a sky deck with sky gardens, private dining rooms and a library; and a main lobby level with EV charging, a driver lounge and car wash bays.
Everything below comes from the developer’s own material. These are the figures that are fixed at construction — renovation changes none of them, so they are worth checking before anything else.

Ten typical layouts run 649 to 2,041 sq ft, plus five penthouses from 3,692 to 6,982 sq ft that are not tabled here. The three D types share the same 1,357 sq ft built-up as three different arrangements, so compare the drawings rather than the number. Type E is the dual key — two bedrooms plus a self-contained studio behind its own door, 82 of them. Every unit gets two allocated car park bays except the Type A studio, which gets one. The building is finished, so the plan you are shown is the plan you can walk through.
Why Choose Jesselton Twin Towers Kota Kinabalu?
- It is finished, and it is the tallest thing on Borneo. Tower B completed December 2022, Tower A February 2023. No construction risk, no VP date to chase — you inspect the actual unit, the actual corridor and the actual view. At 192 m the outlook from the upper half cannot be built out by a neighbour.
- Ten doors a floor, six lifts. Five high-speed passenger lifts plus a service lift on a ten-unit plate is genuinely generous, and on a 56-storey tower the lift count is the difference between a building that works and one that does not. It cannot be added later.
- Two car park bays for almost every unit. 1,640 bays in total. Only the 649 sq ft studio gets one. In Kota Kinabalu, where the household car count is high and street parking is scarce, that is a real advantage.
- The facilities are split across three levels, not stacked on one deck. A 50 m Olympic-length lap pool, sauna and steam rooms, a dance studio and gym on the pool deck; sky gardens, private dining rooms and a library on the sky deck; EV charging, a driver lounge and car wash bays at the lobby.
- Ten layouts from 649 to 2,041 sq ft. A studio, one-bed-plus-study, three different two-bedroom arrangements at the same area, a dual key, and three-bedroom plans up to 2,041 — unusually wide for a single development, so the building suits very different households.

Who might Jesselton Twin Towers not suit?
It is leasehold, not freehold. The 999-year term to 2922 is long enough that financing treats it much like freehold, but a future sale still needs state consent and the title is a master title with strata subdivision. Read the title search rather than the brochure. 819 homes in two towers is a large community. The lift and car park provisioning answers for it, but the pool deck and sky deck are shared by all of them. Visit on a weekend afternoon, not a weekday morning, before you decide. The completion was late against the original schedule. The developer's own summary targeted the third quarter of 2022; Tower A actually completed in February 2023. That is history now the building is up, but it is worth knowing when you assess the developer. Three of the layouts share one area. D1, D2 and D3 are all 1,357 sq ft. The difference is arrangement, not size, so compare the actual drawings — and since the building is finished, walk the unit rather than choosing from a plan. Buying in a completed building means no developer package. There is nothing to negotiate at construction stage and no scope to vary the layout. What is built is what you buy, and any renovation is yours to fund.
