The complex consists of a single 33-storey office tower and two 9-storey office buildings that house the state's chief minister's office and other state government cabinet members.[3] The construction commenced in August 2011 and was scheduled to complete in 30 months, however additional works and interior works would be completed later in around December 2016. After completion, the tower and the Sabah State Administrative Centre were handed over to the Sabah State Government, and government services would open in 2017.[4][5]
Today, the 33-storey office tower is the second tallest building in Borneo just after the Jesselton Twin Towers, which is in the same city.
