History

Construction of the MBf Tower began in 1990 and was completed by 1994, making it one of the first skyscrapers to be built along Northam Road.^[2] The building originally housed the Penang branch of MBf Finance Berhad, which was later acquired by AmBank in 2001.^[2][4]

One of the tallest skyscrapers in Penang, the MBf Tower was built on the site of the demolished Northam Court,^[5] a 16-storey luxurious condominium project under construction which was demolished just before completion in 1980 when it began tilting and was at risk of collapse.^[6][7]
