The Re-birth of an Iconic Landmark – Atria Shopping Gallery

The pride of Damansara Jaya – OSK Property has revealed the highly anticipated re-birth of Atria Shopping Gallery today. Inspired by the beauty of nature, this award-winning shopping gallery has taken the old icon a step forward, reviving its legacy – brought to live with a contemporary atmosphere of natural abundance.

The History

Ever since its launch back in the 1980s, Atria has remained an iconic neighbourhood shopping mall. Speak to the long-term residents of Damansara Jaya, and they will regale you with tales of tea dances and underground gigs back in the 80s. The then popular stores were Printempts of France and Kimisawa of Japan which was later, taken over by Parkson Grand and then, Atria Shopping Centre was born. The shopping centre lost its shine in the mid-2000s as it was run down and there were no rooms to compete with the larger shopping malls around PJ.

In 2007, OSK Property decided to acquire and restore the mall into its former glory, in relevance to Malaysia’s vibrant and fast-changing lifestyle.
