Wisma Merdeka is a shopping centre located in the city of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. It is one of the earliest shopping malls in the city, together with Centre Point Sabah and Karamunsing Complex.[1]

Built in 1985, Wisma Merdeka was the first multi-storey shopping mall in the city with offices and parking bays.[2] The design of the mall was inspired by Lucky Plaza in Singapore and Sungei Wang Plaza in Kuala Lumpur[2] where shopping was being integrated into a major part of the urban lifestyle. There were a wide variety of shops operating on standard operating hours, and the air-conditioning systems provided comfort to customers in the hot tropical weather. The parking lots provided large amounts of parking space for vehicles, which was hard to find at the time.
