The completed 36-storey residence component of the Cap Square development comprises 180 apartment units. [6]

History

In the 1930s what is now CapSquare was once a public park as well as an Eastern Hotel; after World War II the park was replaced by several cinemas. [7]

Development of Capital Square was put on hold since 1997 due to the Asian financial crisis. The only fully completed structure then was the Menara Multi-Purpose, which was completed in 1994. Construction of a second office block (OT2) stalled and its partially completed structure remained abandoned for about 10 years. In January 2008, Bandar Raya Developments Berhad announced that it had entered into a conditional sales and purchase agreement with Union Investment Real Estate AG for the en bloc sale of the 41-storey OT2 for RM439 million. Construction of OT2 has since resumed and was completed in 2011. [8]

Events

On 28 March 2009, Cap Square held a night charity walk in conjunction with Earth Hour. [9]

UAE-based Lulu Hypermarket has opened its first Malaysian store in the project in June 2016. [10]
