Damansara Jaya - Atria End Game

Atria End Game

On 26 April 2011, OSK gave 3 months notice to all the Atria tenants to vacate the shopping complex by 26 July 2011. OSK had apparently obtained updated approval from MBPJ to demolish the existing development and to construct in its place 2 x 15 storey office blocks, a 4-storey podium incorporating a shopping mall, 2 levels of underground car park and 4 levels of multi-storey car park. As of 26 July, the Language House remained operating at the Atria. A dispute involving the tenancy agreement between the Language House and OSK was then unresolved. (sourced from thestar.com.my). By mid-August, the Atria complex, save for small section as access to the Language House, had essentially been fenced by metal hoardings. The loss of use of both the Atria multi-storey car parks has had significant impact on available street parking bays. By early September, the car park building at the Atria main entrance had been demolished. By mid-October, the other car park building had also been demolished. The demolition of the shopping complex proper begun very soon after the departure of the Language House from its Atria premises on 22 October. The Language House subsequently re-commenced operations at Damansara Intan on 8 November. By Christmas, almost all of the Atria complex building, save perhaps for the facade of the old Parkson entrance had been demolished. That too was gone within the next 2 weeks.
