BB Plaza, Kuala Lumpur (14 January, 2010)
BB Plaza (GPS: 3.14591, 101.71068), which is short for
Bukit Bintang Plaza, is a now defunct shopping centre along
Jalan Bukit Bintang in
Kuala Lumpur. The mall was contiguous to
Sungei Wang Plaza, which was built earlier.
Over the decades, as newer shopping malls open along Jalan Bukit Bintang, both BB Plaza and Sungei Wang have been relegated to cater to the lower-middle class, but even then, business has been affected by the presence of the newer malls. The anchor tenant at BB Plaza was Metrojaya Department Store.
BB Plaza finally closed in March 2015, forcing some 20 traders out of business. There is presently unconfirmed reports of whether the shopping centre will be renovated or demolished. Rumour has it that it will make way for a 60-storey luxury condominium.
