History
Construction of the MBf Tower began in 1990 and was completed by 1994, making it one of the first skyscrapers to be built along Northam Road.[2] The building originally housed the Penang branch of MBf Finance Berhad, which was later acquired by AmBank in 2001.[2][4]
One of the tallest skyscrapers in Penang, the MBf Tower was built on the site of the demolished Northam Court,[5] a 16-storey luxurious condominium project under construction which was demolished just before completion in 1980 when it began tilting and was at risk of collapse.[6][7]
