Rising majestically in Kuala Lumpur’s Mont Kiara, The MET Corporate Towers are far more than just office, retail and event spaces.

The project’s green journey began in the mid-2010s, when sustainability was still considered a “nice-to-have” rather than a necessity. Undeterred, its far-sighted developer, Triterra Metropolis Sdn Bhd, forged ahead with a clear commitment to sustainability — embedding green principles that would later distinguish The MET as a premium-grade corporate landmark.

The MET is not merely a corporate address; it is a thriving business destination that exemplifies foresight, quality and responsibility. For that, we are delighted to recognise the project with a special mention.

The MET Corporate Towers were very well executed. Congratulations to both the architect and developer for pushing the boundaries of corporate-type office buildings, a sector in which ecological initiatives remain limited. The MET shows that you can develop green buildings without splurging on active systems to meet the green building requirements. Simple initiatives — such as well-designed public and community spaces with outdoor greenery, thoughtful integration with public transport, ample daylighting, rainwater harvesting systems and recycling programmes — can significantly raise awareness of the importance of ecological transformation in the urban fabric.

The MET Corporate Towers presents a commendable commitment to broader urban sustainability despite its remote location and limited public transport connectivity. While the project misses an opportunity to reinvent its façade through passive design strategies that could empower strata owners to participate in energy reduction, it meaningfully compensates through well-considered mobility initiatives, including shuttle services and a shared parking programme with neighbouring buildings. As an office tower, the project also extends its value by opening its facilities to the public on weekends, promoting community engagement and fuller utilisation of its spaces. These efforts collectively demonstrate an admirable pursuit of sustainable practices.
