Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur

Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur

Berjaya Times Square stands tall as a complex in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, featuring two identical towers that reach a height of 203 meters (666 feet) and encompass 48 floors. This multifaceted establishment comprises a hotel, condominiums, an indoor amusement park, and a shopping center. It first opened its doors in October 2003.

Remarkably, Berjaya Times Square is presently recognized as the tenth largest building globally in terms of floor space. It also holds the distinction of being hailed as the "world's largest building constructed in a single phase," boasting an expansive built-up floor area spanning 700,000 square meters (7,500,000 square feet). The complex comprises a 19-story shopping mall, commercial offices, and a leisure center, all of which collectively house over 1,000 retail shops, 1,200 luxury service suites, 65 dining establishments, and various entertainment attractions, including the popular Berjaya Times Square Theme Park.

Notably, the land on which Berjaya Times Square now stands originally belonged to the millionaire and philanthropist Cheong Yoke Choy before the outbreak of World War II. His bungalow remained on the property until the entire parcel of land was acquired by Tan Sri Vincent Tan's Berjaya Group for the development of the present-day Berjaya Times Square.
