Tun Mustapha Tower, also known as the Sabah Foundation Building, is a striking 32-storey glass tower that dominates the Kota Kinabalu skyline. Its cylindrical design and reflective blue glass make it a distinctive landmark. Visitors can take an elevator to the observation deck on the 32nd floor for sweeping views of the city, the South China Sea, and the distant Crocker Range. The tower also houses government offices and a small exhibition on the building's construction and the foundation's work.
