== History == In the 1930s what is now CapSquare was once a public park as well as an ''Eastern Hotel''; after World War II the park was replaced by several cinemas.<ref>{{cite web|title=Map of Campbell Road in 1935|url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/50/f6/ac/50f6ac0f54af8de7115f9cbb3a607210.jpg|accessdate=9 August 2017}}</ref>
Development of Capital Square was put on hold since 1997 due to the Asian financial crisis. The only fully completed structure then was the Menara Multi-Purpose, which was completed in 1994. Construction of a second office block (OT2) stalled and its partially completed structure remained abandoned for about 10 years. In January 2008, Bandar Raya Developments Berhad announced that it had entered into a conditional sales and purchase agreement with Union Investment Real Estate AG for the en bloc sale of the 41-storey OT2 for RM439 million. Construction of OT2 has since resumed and was completed in 2011.<ref>[http://www.malaysiapropertynews.com/2008/01/euro-buyer-found.html "Euro Buyer Found," Malaysia Property News.com, 1 August 2008.] Accessed 21 December 2010.</ref>
