Berjaya Times Square


Berjaya Times Square KL is a building containing a huge shopping centre and two five star hotels located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was opened in October 2003 by the then Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir bin Mohamed.

It is tagged as the "world's largest building ever built in a single phase", with 7.5 million square feet of built up floor area. It is set to become an international landmark offering shopping, luxury accommodation, business, food and abundant entertainment.

Currently, it has space for more than 1000 retail shops, 1200 luxury service suites, 65 food outlets to suit many tastes and entertainment attractions such as Asia's largest indoor theme park, Cosmo's World and Malaysia's first ever IMAX 2D & 3D theatre which is located on the 10th floor. In April 2005, Borders Group opened its first franchise store here. Currently, the store is the largest Borders store in the world. Other popular stores include Metrojaya, which is a multi-level major department store, and many more.

The Kuala Lumpur Monorail's Imbi station is linked to the building by a footbridge.
