'''Johor Bahru City Square''' is a shopping centre located in the Central Business district of [[Johor Bahru]]. City Square, together with Kotaraya and Komtar, is located along Jalan Wong Ah Fook. Due in part to its close proximity to the [[Johor-Singapore Causeway]], City Square attracts many shoppers from [[Singapore]]. City Square is the tallest building in Johor Bahru.
 
The building interior consists of five storeys of shopping malls, including a thirty-six storey tower office block, which is divided into the lower, middle and upper zones. City Square has three floors of basement carpark. Automobiles pay a parking fee of RM1.20 for every hour (or part thereof) of parking time. The Singapore Visitor Centre, located at level 2, was launched in 2005.
 
The Government of Singapore Investment Corporation ownedowns 70% of City Squares shares. The remaining shares are divided between the Johor Bahru city council and MBJBT.
 
Both [[Maybank]] and RHB Bank have opened their branches in Malaysiathe City Square. Fast-food outlets such as [[Kentucky Fried Chicken|KFC]] and [[McDonald's]] have also done so similarly. The ''TOPS'' supermarket, previously located at Basement 1, was declared bankrupt in 2002 and ''Kapitan Mart'' took its place.
 
City Square has also witnessed other major changes since 1998. Walls facing along the direction immediately perpendicular to the shop where the TIMES bookshop at the fourth level was formerly located, made way in 2004-5 to facilitate the construction of additional shops. This zone of the City Square was dubbed "Cyberzone".
 
The pedestrian bridge which connectlyconnects the City Square to [[Southern Integrated Gateway|JB Sentral]] will be buildbuilt at the end of 2006.
