Final Stage of The Majestic

For more than 2 years of construction, the two blocks of The Majestic are at its final stage to completion. The Octagon, which suppose to make 23 floors, is still struggling to catch up in height and will soon join The Majestic & Kinta River Front Hotel to form a new height limit line of Ipoh downtown.
