The KK Skybridge project aims to provide a safe convenience for the public and also for the disabled to move around as it currently links Oceanus Shopping Mall, Api-Api Centre, and Asia City.[11][12]

In conjunction with the Centre Point Mall's 32nd anniversary in August 2022, the Centre Point shopping centre mall has planned several events, which include the Cosmaniac Cosplay Showdown (August 6–7, 2022), Mobile Legends Bang Bang Champion (August 13–14, 2022), Pikachu Showcase (August 21–27, 2022) and Shop and Redeem: Free Lunch Bag (September 9-22, 2022).[13][14]

The Hilton KK and Marriott KK are about 2 km away from each other, but a Grab ride including the waiting time took a person close to 20 minutes. However, The Skybridge Kota Kinabalu has changed the walktime and time perspective for pedestrian since 2024.[15][16][17]

This Sky Bridge is a total of 400m long and it connects with major malls and hotels nearby. At least four malls and four hotels are connected via this semi Air conditioned sky bridge system. Both sides of the major entrance and exit of this sky bridge have escalators and lifts.[18]
