Stupendous!

I passed through the highway in front last year and the footprint of the building is colossal. I mean COLOSSAL! There were plans for another 2 million sq ft mall near to it in Kalamassery but I think now the developers of that project will be doing their maths all over again because this one is going to suck in people from all over Kerala. LULU is a household name in Kerala because of the Gulf chord and there is no need to build the brand. Thanks to Yousafali...
