How the Bukit Bintang City Centre project came about


PETALING JAYA: The history of the redevelopment of the old Pudu prison site, which is now called Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC), can be traced back some 20 years when the 19.4-acre prime land first became vacant.

There were several suitors who had wanted to partner the Urban Development Authority (UDA), but none could come up with a solution that was acceptable to it. It was one of the last big parcels of prime land left in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
