History of The TOP Rainbow Skywalk
KOMTAR (Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak) was completed in 1986 as Penang's tallest building and administrative centre. The TOP Penang, including the Rainbow Skywalk, opened in December 2016 as a revitalization project converting the upper floors of KOMTAR into a themed attraction, adding the curved glass skywalk at 249 metres to create a new observation landmark for George Town.
