Located along the bustling Jalan Tun Razak corridor, The Intermark stands as one of Kuala Lumpur’s most ambitious integrated developments, seamlessly blending commercial office towers, hospitality, and retail into a unified complex. The development comprises Vista Tower (formerly Empire Tower), Integra Tower, and a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, all connected by a sophisticated infrastructure that demanded equally sophisticated flooring solutions.
When The Intermark’s developers needed expansion joint systems capable of handling the structural demands of this multi-use complex, Sun Synergy delivered our premium Latham Ultimate Series to ensure long-term structural integrity across high-traffic zones.
Our Expansion Joint Solution
