For the podium (especially mall levels from lower ground floor till level 8 and business offices from levels 9 till 14), the ground floor provides access to hotel's reception lobby while the first floor connects the complex to Imbi LRT station. The mezzanine floor (which served by some service lifts) had loading dock and some offices for staff. Levels 5 to 7 houses to one of the largest amusement attractions in Southeast Asia, which is the Berjaya Times Square Theme Park located at the central wing of the mall. Level 11 provides access to Berjaya University College and level 14 provides access to hotel and its facilities, such as a lounge called Broadway Lounge, a function rooms named Bronx Function Rooms, a business centre, a club lounge and a ballroom named Manhattan Ballroom. Some restaurants were located in this floor, such as Lotus at Berjaya (Chinese cuisine) and Samplings on the Fourteenth (vegetarian cuisine). Basements 1 to 5 were used as a parking spaces, with a leisure activity called Go-Kart BTSKL located at basement 3.
The complex had 54 (including 6 additional scenic lifts; 3 on the west and east wing each) lifts, which consists of four mall passenger lifts (divided into two local and express lifts) and six hotel guestroom passenger lifts on the west and east wing each, 11 fireman lifts (including 2 units that goes up to level 45!; 1 unit on the west and east wing each), three lifts located near the multi-storey car park on the rear left of the mall's east wing, three scenic lifts overlooking the theme park's roller coaster on the mall's central wing and 170 escalators (including 8 long escalators; with three units serving between levels LG and 1, 1 and 3, and another two units in the theme park serving between 5 and 7) all supplied by Mitsubishi. This video features the group of four passenger lifts on the mall's west wing, which were divided into two local lifts that serves all floors (in this video), while other two are the express lifts that serves limited floors (except for levels 1 to 8) on a separate car call; which used to serve all floors until early-2010s (which features on another video: • 2x 2001 Mitsubishi GPS... ), this is because the lifts are too busy and/or gets overcrowded to get to their desired floors, and three additional scenic lifts were installed later initially serving retail floors.
They belonged to an early-2000s GPS-III model installations with VFEL controllers, as a predecessor of GPS series. However, the capacity could not be found anywhere, hence they were covered by signs which is most likely to be 20 persons / 1,360 kg (3,000 lbs). They had an unusual and extremely rare fixtures, which consists of round metal concave buttons with yellow-orange illuminating halo and an oval "egg" shaped 16-segment car floor indicators. The other three (or four) examples with the same kind of fixtures can also be found at Suntec City in Singapore, Bank of China Tower and Regal Airport Hotel, both are in Hong Kong. Their cab interiors features blue glass-cladding walls on the rear with a stainless steel on the side and granite tiles on the floors. In addition, a projector on the rear wall that displays advertisements with a screen on the interior doors were added in early 2020s. These ads will only shown if the doors are closed, and will stop showing for a while when the doors are about to open. They ran at a decent speed for the distance and amount of floors served, but they were somewhat shaky despite having been in more than 20 years of service, these lifts are still well maintained until now.
