Towering landmark for Sepang municipal council

SEPANG Municipal Council (MPSepang) is constructing a new headquarters as part of its expansion plans.

The RM129mil project will be built next to the current headquarters at Persiaran Semarak Api, in Cyberjaya, Selangor.

The project comprises an 18-storey office tower, with a gross floor area of 22,104.9sq m.

It will also have a multi-storey parking complex, amphitheatre and a multipurpose hall.

MPSepang president Datuk Abd Hamid Hussain said the new building is expected to be completed by Jan 18, 2027.

The municipal council currently has 869 staff members.

“The existing building, which was built in 2008, can only comfortably accommodate a maximum of 700 staff members,” he said.

Abd Hamid said funds for the project would come from MPSepang’s reserves over the next three years,

The Sepang municipality was seeing rapid development and they foresaw a 5% increase in staff members every year, he added.

“The new tower will be able to accommodate up to 1,500 staff members comfortably.

“Once completed, it will be MPSepang’s new headquarters while the present building will be retained for other purposes.”

Abd Hamid said the building would incorporate green design to lower energy costs.

“The roof will be fitted with insulation to reduce thermal transmission, while the facade is designed with external shading to further reduce heat transmission.

“The building will also use low -emissivity glass, a thin glass coating that is transparent and reflects heat.”

Abd Hamid said there would be provisions to monitor energy and water usage in each area.

“Carparks will be equipped with EV chargers while only LED lighting will be used,” he said.

When contacted, Orang Besar Daerah and MPSepang councillor Tengku Datuk Dr Jamaluddin Tengku Mahmud Shah Alhaj said the construction of a new building was timely.

“The present MPSepang building has exceeded its maximum capacity.

“There is a pressing need to expand the office space, as more staff will be hired to manage the municipality efficiently,” he said.
