In 1999, when business was in decline, it was acquired by YTL Corporation.

[2] It underwent extensive renovation led by architect David Rockwell and reopened on 30 July 2005 as Starhill Gallery. [2]

The mall is connected to the JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur by a tunnel. [2] The link bridge also connects to the Ritz-Carlton Kuala Lumpur.

Under renovation since October 2019, the mall was reopened in phases from the second quarter of 2020 and will officially be re-launched in 2021. The top levels of the mall will be replaced with additional 162 rooms for JW Marriott. [3]
