Sultan Ibrahim Building

Sultan Ibrahim Building or Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim in Bahasa Malaysia is one of the historical landmark in Johor Bahru that you will not miss. Located at Bukit Timbalan, this building was the tallest building in Johor Bahru in the 1970's before taller buildings began to emerge.

Construction of the building started in 1936 and was officially opened by Sultan Ibrahim of Johor in 1942 at a cost of RM2 million. The total build up area was 60,000 sq. ft. Designed by Palmer and Turner, one of the more prominent British architecture firm, its design is a combination of western and eastern architecture.

Hospital Sultan Aminah was also designed by the same firm. Today, this building is still one of the tourist attractions in Johor due to its unique design and architecture.
