West Coast Plaza
2008 (West Coast Plaza)
West Coast Plaza, formerly known as Ginza Plaza (Japanese: 銀座プラザ) is a mixed retail and residential development in West Coast, Singapore. The retail building is a 3-storey development totaling approximately 160,000 sq ft (15,000 m2) of retail space.
History
Named after Ginza, Tokyo, the original mall opened in 1992. It was the first of a group of heartland malls built in the 90s as part of a decentralisation plan for commercial activities, and the most important real estate event in the Clementi West area that decade.
Overview
The 3-storey suburban mall has over 100 shops, including eateries, fashion, beauty and electronic shops, as well as children enrichment centres.
Incidents
Ginza Plaza explosion
On 7 August 1992, an explosion occurred in Ginza Plaza.[1] A gas pipe exploded and the fire at the basement level quickly spread out. The Singapore Civil Defence Force was quickly dispatched to extinguish the fire. In total, there were 61 casualties and 3 were found dead. As a result of this explosion, the completion date was delayed.
Upgrading
In March 2007, Far East Plaza Organisation closed down the then Ginza Plaza for major upgrading. At a cost of S$26 million, the upgrading works were completed in November 2008 and the mall was renamed as West Coast Plaza.[2]
