The Astaka is a twin-tower residential complex in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Tower A, with a height of 278.9 m (915 ft), became the tallest skyscraper in Johor Bahru upon its completion in 2017. It is also the tallest residential skyscraper in Southeast Asia and the tallest building in Malaysia outside of Kuala Lumpur.[1] Tower B is the second tallest skyscraper in Johor Bahru, at 255.6 m (839 ft).[2]

The development is located in Zone A of Iskandar Malaysia. It houses 438 apartments, including penthouse duplexes. The penthouses in both towers are exclusively owned by the Sultan of Johor.[3]

The Astaka is one of the few development projects in Johor Bahru that has private lifts and is within walking distance of the CIQ Complex.
