UDA Holdings Bhd (UDA) plans to invest RM25 million to upgrade BB Plaza on Jalan Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur.
"The upgrading process will start in February next year and it will involve beautifying the building, rearranging business lots, repairing the toilets and signages," UDA managing director Datuk Jaafar Abu Hassan said in a statement.
UDA is now at the final stage where it is about to finalise the design before starting the project.
This project will create more business opportunities. It will also provide a more modern look for the building which is located at an exclusive area.
"We will provide an escalator from the parking lot to the business lot, enhance the lighting and upgrade the mechanical and electrical system," he said.
This would help make the building more competitive and it is expected to benefit 139 tenants at BB Plaza.
"UDA hopes to provide more business opportunities to bumiputera entrepreneurs as to encourage them to compete with others," he said.
UDA also owns other shopping malls like the Pertama Complex in Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, Plaza Angsana in Johor Bharu and Greentown Mall in Ipoh.
