Analysis

Menara OBYU is Tujuan Gemilang’s 2nd development after PJ Trade Centre. The company is stewarded by Ahmad Khalif Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal (the son of the MK) and Peter Chan Sai Kong (ex-COO of MK Land). PJ Trade Centre was completed in December 2009 and is now home to Taiko Group of Companies, Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri, Bata, Emkay Group of Companies and many more. Up to this date, there are still a lot of vacant units within PJ Trade Centre. However, the building is a happening place at night and a famous place to grab a drink after work.

Being just 19-storey high, and situated in commercial component area of Damansara Perdana, Menara OBYU may not enjoy any views of the surrounding greenery and neighborhoods. The views from the west are blocked by Metropolitan Square, the north by Empire Damansara (5 blocks), the south by Neo Damansara (2 blocks), and east by Empire City and Sprint Highway ramps.
