Plaza Rakyat, Mixed-use skyscraper complex in central Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The Plaza Rakyat development plan features a 79-story office tower, a 46-story condominium, a 24-story hotel, and a 7-story shopping center.
The construction began in 1992 but halted in 1997 during the Asian financial crisis, leaving only the base structure completed through subsequent decades.
The Plaza Rakyat site previously hosted the Selangor Chinese Club in 1929, with architecture matching the Selangor Club at Merdeka Square.
In 2020, demolition work commenced on the site to prepare for new construction of Tower 2 and Tower 3, with respective heights of 70 and 46 floors.
The Malaysian government terminated the original development contract in 2010 after twelve years of inactivity, leading to ownership transfer to Kuala Lumpur City Hall.
