  • Analysis

    Wisma MPL has undergone several name changes since 1973. Initially, it was 'Wisma MPI'. Later it was changed to 'Wisma HLA' before finally changing it to 'Wisma MPL'. When it was built, Wisma MPL was the largest shopping centre cum office building in the city. There have been discussions on refurbishing Wisma MPL to make it more contemporary. However, the plan is yet to come to fruition as it is still in the negotiation process between Malaysia Pacific Corporation Bhd and a foreign development fund company. The parties are allegedly planning for an additional 57-storey office tower atop of the yet-to-be refurbished commercial podium annexed to Wisma MPL.The management company of Wisma MPL has allegedly gone through several severe financial crisis and their failures are recorded publicly. However, as of 2014, they are determined to put their best foot forward and targeting to redevelop Wisma MPL.
