Fahrenheit 88

Fahrenheit 88 (previously known as KL Plaza) is a shopping centre in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Fahrenheit 88 building reopened in August 2010 after extensive renovation. Management and leasing of the shopping centre are handled by the same company that manages the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur shopping centre. The Fahrenheit 88 building was previously known as KL Plaza (shopping centre) and owned by Berjaya Leisure Berhad, a company of the Berjaya Group. One of the Malaysian outlets of French department store chain Printemps was located here. Earlier the outlet wanted to discontinue its operations at KL Plaza in September 1986 due to the lack of long-term viability. Mun Loong had its flagship outlet at KL Plaza, opened in 1987. Occupying a space of 90,000 square feet (8,400 m), the outlet closed in mid-1996 due to Mun Loong being "unfavourable" with the new terms of KL Plaza's lease renewal. In 2007, Berjaya Group disposed of the KL Plaza building for a total consideration of RM470 million to the Pavilion Group. The sale consisted of the 5-storey shopping podium for RM425 million and 59 units of flats located on top of the shopping centre for RM45 million.
