TERNYATA MALL INI DULUNYA KEDUTAAN INDONESIA || WISMA ATRIA ORCHARD SINGAPORE

Wisma Atria is an established shopping mall on Orchard Road in Singapore. The 230,000 square feet (21,000 m2) centre, which opened on 13 November 1986, is directly linked underground to Orchard MRT station and neighbouring centres.
Wisma Atria has five levels of shopping with one basement and four levels of retail space as well as three levels of car parking space. The centre offers over 100 specialty stores anchored by Japanese department store Isetan, fashion brands Tory Burch and Coach, and local food haven Food Republic.
In 1983, the Wisma Indonesia building (Indonesian Embassy) was demolished and a shopping mall, The Wisma, was built over the site. The developer of the mall was Wisma Development Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of A. W. Galadari Pte Ltd, a Dubai company owned by the Galadari brothers.
In 1984, after Abdul Wahab Galadari's assets were seized by the United Arab Emirates's government over the Union Bank of the Middle East's dealings, one of many Galadari's companies, A. W. Galadari Pte Ltd was taken over by Dubai Bank Ltd, a bank owned by A. W. Galadari's brothers.[In 1985, the mall was renamed to Wisma Atria after the Union Bank of the Middle East took over Dubai Bank Ltd.
Wisma Indonesia didirikan pada tahun 1964 di Orchard Road, Singapura. Bangunan yang memiliki perpaduan arsitektur Indonesia modern dan tradisional ini berfungsi sebagai Kedutaan Besar Indonesia di Singapura.
Para masa Konfrontasi Indonesia-Malaysia (1963-1966), Wisma Indonesia direbut oleh Pemerintah Malaysia dan dikembalikan ke Indonesia pada tahun 1965 setelah pemisahan Singapura dari Malaysia.
Pada tahun 1983, menyusul kesepakatan pertukaran lahan dan ganti rugi antara pemerintah Indonesia dan pihak Singapura, bangunan ini dihancurkan untuk pembangunan kompleks pertokoan dan perkantoran di Orchard Road yang sekarang dikenal sebagai Wisma Atria. Kedutaan Besar Indonesia dipindahkan ke kompleks baru di Chatsworth Road sebagai bagian dari perjanjian.
