Myanmar Plaza (Burmese: မြန်မာပလာဇာ) is one of the largest shopping malls in Yangon, Myanmar (Burma).[1] [2] The plaza consists of retail outlets, including home appliance and electronics stores, lifestyle shops, and beauty and fashion shops, and a 4000m2 food court with cafes, fast food, dining and teashops. The pavilion also holds a 2000m2 outlet for Marketplace, a grocery store.[3]
Myanmar Plaza was completed in 2015 and opened on 5 December 2015. It is owned by Vietnam’s Hoang Anh Gia Lai (HAGL).[4] The Myanmar Plaza is part of the Myanmar Centre, a $440-million mixed-use development with office towers, a hotel and residential apartments.
In 2016, The Spanish-owned Meliá Yangon, a five-star hotel attached to the plaza, was completed.[5]
In the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'etat, Myanmar Plaza has been the target of anti-coup protesters.[6] On 7 April 2021, a small grenade was launched inside the mall.[7] On 25 November 2021, the mall's security team courted significant criticism after using force to break up a flash mob protest staged inside the mall.[8] In response, protesters launched an ongoing boycott movement against the mall.[9]
Myanmar Plaza is part of the Myanmar Centre and located on five-storey building on Kabar Aye Pagoda Road, Bahan Township, Yangon, at the intersection of Kabar Aye Pagoda Road and No.1 Industrial Road.[10]
Myanmar Plaza has a large promotion hall (inside and outside) to hold events.[11] The center hosted the 2016 Toyota Vios official launch event in 2016.[12]
