The People's Plaza (Malay: Plaza Rakyat) is a planned mixed-use skyscraper complex in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia initiated during the 1990s. However the project, which had already commenced construction, stalled due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Attempts to revive the project have come and gone, but no progress has been made, and the construction site remains deserted as of 2025. [3]

The project, originally designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, was to comprise a 79-storey office tower, a 46-storey condominium, a 24-storey hotel and a 7-storey shopping centre. The original Puduraya bus depot was also intended to be replaced.
