Kossan Corporate Tower is a GBI-Silver office headquarters. The tower sits on a site as a gateway entry into the city, alongside Setia HQ. Kossan Corporate Tower is designed to be a new beacon within the green commercial city of Setia Alam. The biophilic 18 storey tower is Phase 1 of commercial development meant for the workforce to congregate and work cohesively in one office. The site sits adjacent to a pond, integrating with the city biodiversity and participating in the Setia Alam masterplan which was built upon GBI criteria. The design sets new standards for integrating greenspace and workplace.
