On 7 Aug 1992, an explosion occurred in Ginza Plaza. A gas pipe exploded and the fire at the basement level quickly spread out. The Singapore Civil Defence Force was quickly dispatched to extinguish the fire. In total, there were 61 casualties and 3 were found dead. As a result of this explosion, the completion date was delayed.
In March 2007, Far East Plaza Organisation closed down the then Ginza Plaza for major upgrading. At a cost of S$26 million, the upgrading works was completed in November 2008 and the mall was renamed as West Coast Plaza.
