A 118-storey, 678.9 m mixed-use “megapole” with premium office space, Park Hyatt hotel, retail (118 Mall), observation decks, and public landscaped areas. It stands as the second-tallest building in the world and the tallest in Southeast Asia
One95 Global partnered with the Project Management Consultancy (PMC) on Merdeka 118 to source and mobilise senior-level commercial and delivery leadership.
Our remit included identifying highly-experienced Claims Managers, Commercial Directors, Project Managers, and Construction Managers with a proven track record in major building developments and super-tall towers.
One95 Global worked closely with the Project Management Consultancy to understand the unique challenges of delivering a super-tall, mixed-use development of this scale.
Through global headhunting, digital sourcing, and rigorous competency assessments, we secured Claims Managers, Commercial Directors, Project Managers, and Construction Managers who could navigate complex contractual frameworks and lead delivery teams effectively. These specialists were rapidly mobilised and integrated into the PMC’s team, ensuring strong leadership while maintaining collaborative relationships with contractors on site.
By strengthening the PMC’s leadership capability, One95 Global supported the successful delivery of Merdeka 118 on behalf of the client.
Our placements provided the expertise needed to manage cost control, claims resolution, and program delivery while supporting contractors to maintain progress and quality standards. This approach reduced risk, improved coordination, and ensured stakeholder confidence throughout the project lifecycle. Ultimately, our contribution helped the PMC deliver one of the world’s tallest towers on schedule and within budget, establishing Merdeka 118 as a landmark achievement for Kuala Lumpur.
“Delivering Merdeka 118 was a complex task, requiring highly skilled professionals to meet timelines and technical standards. One95 Global proved to be an outstanding partner, sourcing the right talent quickly and efficiently. Their deep understanding of the market and especially their ability to find specialists was critical to our success. We would not hesitate to work with them again on future projects.”
