Kota Kinabalu: The V by Jesselton International Group, set along the scenic Likas Bay, offers one of the city’s rare permanent seafront views — making it a prime choice for investors and buyers seeking capital growth, rental opportunities, and lifestyle prestige. Positioned as a new benchmark in seafront living, the development anchors Kota Kinabalu’s evolving urban coastline.

Strategically located, The V spans a 10-acre integrated masterplan and comprises three Commercial Suite Towers, a corporate office tower, and 70 en bloc shop units designed as a lifestyle waterfront podium. The development presents a range of dedicated amenities, with Borneo’s first 100-metre infinity lap pool as one of its signature features.

Permanent Protected Sea Views

A key feature of The V is its guaranteed outlook towards Likas Bay. The seafront is part of a 1,550-hectare gazetted zone under State Gazetted Lands No. 55–2012, prohibiting reclamation. This ensures that residents and investors will continue to enjoy uninterrupted ocean vistas for generations to come.

Designed for Investment & Legacy

Developed by Jesselton International, a proven name with a strong record of quality delivery, The V presents an attractive opportunity for those seeking both lifestyle and long-term investment value. As one of Kota Kinabalu’s most coveted new addresses, The V offers investors the potential to achieve up to 8 per cent ROI growth alongside lifestyle prestige.

Serviced suites at The V start from RM 290,000 — with monthly repayments from as low as RM 1,165 — spanning sizes from 425 to 1,090 sq.ft. Each is thoughtfully designed to maximise space and capture panoramic sea views, while the larger two-room layouts provide added comfort ideal for families and future-focused buyers.

The development also targets green building certification, with sustainable features such as Borneo’s tallest vertical atrium (33 storeys), natural ventilation via a circular centre courtyard and water features, EV charging stations, and vertical gardens across the site.

Corporate & Commercial Suites

The 40-storey corporate office tower houses 112 strata office units with flexible layouts, supported by facilities such as a gym, rooftop garden, and pay-per-use meeting rooms. The short-term rental-ready Commercial Suites in Towers A and B are hospitality-managed, featuring exclusive facilities on Level 6, including the 100-metre infinity pool, a 50-metre family pool with Splash & Play Zone, and a dedicated Kids’ Club.

At Level 40’s Vibe Deck and Vive Deck, residents and guests can experience panoramic dining and sunset views and sky dining areas overlooking Likas Bay.

Retail & Lifestyle at The Shoppes

Complementing the residences and offices is The Shoppes — a naturally ventilated open-air retail park comprising 4 to 5-storey shop units. With escalators and transparent bubble lifts, the retail park blends convenience with seafront vibrancy, offering boutique frontages, curated retail zones, and alfresco dining experiences along the bayfront.

Resort-Style Facilities

The V offers an impressive suite of lifestyle amenities, including multiple swimming pools, fitness studios, wellness trails, sauna and steam rooms, pickleball courts, sky bars, entertainment lounges, and children’s play facilities. Spaces such as the Zen Garden, The Octo Park, River View Lounge, and Garden Terrace reflect the project’s integration of wellness, nature, and leisure.

From business networking in the corporate office tower to family recreation in the resort-style suites, every element of The V has been designed to meet the needs of modern lifestyles while preserving the natural beauty of its seafront setting.

The V by Jesselton is more than just an address — it is a legacy development for investors and families seeking style, flexibility, and the enduring prestige of Likas Bay.
