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.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
