Opposite Seremban Square is a large pool which is supposed to be a construction site of the basement parking lot of a large shopping mall. The project was stalled due to the financial crisis of the late 90s. The state of the project is exacerbated by the discovery of a spring, which ultimately filled the site with water. Fishes are added to mitigate further  mosquito infestations.
Prior to the mall's ill-fated construction, one of Seremban's lost historical relics used to be standing on the site, which is the Seremban Convent School. Officially called Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Seremban, the convent school was opened in 1904. Since the demolition of the convent's original building in 1994 to give way for the construction project, the school was relocated to Jalan Labu Lama and renamed SK and SMK Puteri. The convent's field beside Jalan Sungai Ujong is developed into Seremban Square (Dataran Seremban). 

Currently, the site is used as a parking lot.
Jalan Yam Tuan, the southbound section of Federal Route 1, looking north. Seremban's Little India is situated along this street.
