| The Twin Towers located right at the heart of the city of Kuala Lumpur is a historically significant building which holds a pride of a place in the heart of the city of Kuala Lumpur. The Twin Towers of the city of Kuala Lumpur were designed by César Pelli, and completed in 1998 and became the tallest buildings in the world. The 88-floor towers are constructed of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art. They were built on the site of Kuala Lumpur's race track. The 120-meter foundations were built by Bachy Soletanche.

The towers were constructed on a cheaper radical design of high strength reinforced concrete due to a lack of steel and the huge cost of importing steel. The towers use a sophisticated structural system that accommodates its slender profile and provides from 1300 to 2000 square meters of column-free office space per floor. Below the twin towers is Suria KLCC, a popular shopping mall, and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, the home of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Petronas Twin Towers' spires rise to 452 m (1483 feet), giving it the greatest structural height until Taipei 101. Other buildings in history have used spires to increase their height title. Tower One of the Twin Towers is fully occupied by the Petronas Company and a number of its subsidiaries and associate companies. The office spaces in Tower Two are mostly available for lease to other companies. A number of companies have offices in Tower Two, such as Accenture, Al Jazeera English, Bloomberg, Boeing, IBM, Khazanah Nasional Berhad, McKinsey & Co, Microsoft, Newfield Exploration, Exact Software and Reuters to mention only a few among the many that are located here. There are a number of images that are available of this historically significant Twin Towers in Kualalumpur in a number of places.
