Jesselton Docklands Masterplan

planned

Jesselton Docklands is a tropical masterplan in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, designed by Snøhetta to revitalize the city’s historic port area on the island of Borneo. The development introduces a new ferry and cruise terminal near Kota Kinabalu International Airport, establishing the district as both a transportation hub and a civic destination. The project transforms the waterfront from an industrial zone into a civic and cultural anchor, integrating resilient infrastructure with the island’s environmental identity, and incorporates environmental strategies for climate resilience and urban living.
