Ilham Tower, also known as Ilham Baru Tower and IB Tower is a 58-storey, 274-metre-tall skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is Malaysia's seventh tallest building.^[1] The Ilham Tower is the result of an extensive and careful form-finding process. Its diagonal exo-skeleton, comprising triangulated concrete frames and external trusses, is offset against the elegant glazing within the building's structural armor.

The architecture of Tower with its dramatic lines and form is destined to be the toast of the city. Comprising 33 floors of office suites and 22 floors of serviced apartments, adding up to a gross floor area of 93,000 m² (1,000,000 sq ft).^[3] Ilham tower has parking facilities for employees and visitors.^[4]
