History

SBC Corporation Berhad was founded in 1954 as Syarikat Siah Brothers Trading, marking the beginning of a long-standing heritage in Malaysia's construction and property development sector. In the 1960s, the company gained first-mover advantage by constructing the Bangkok Bank headquarters and Kuala Lumpur's first office tower. During the 1970s, SBC contributed to shaping the city skyline, becoming the builder of choice for prominent clients such as Lim Foo Yong and Lee Rubber. The 1980s saw the company establish a strong track record with a slew of financial institutions' towers, including Bank Negara, Chung Khiaw Bank, and UOB. In the 1990s, SBC tapped into the capital market, listing on the main board in 1991. It also built Empire Tower, which was then the tallest building in Malaysia, and purchased development sites for residential and industrial park projects. The 2000s marked a period of expansion beyond comfort, with 2,200 accommodations in Bangkok and the commencement of a 2,000-acre township in Ulu Yam-Genting. In the 2010s, SBC focused on seeding new communities, reimagining the waterfront with Jesselton Quay in Sabah, and developing transport-enabled communities at Kiara East and PJX in Kuala Lumpur. The 2020s continue this trajectory, with ongoing projects and a commitment to 'Seeding Better Communities.'
