Well Whitefield is the most happening part of Bangalore now...Malls come up wherever maximum footfall is expected...i myself cant wait for these big developers to unveil the townships that theyll develop on large chunks of land in North Bangalore...we can expect big malls there only after these come up.

I didnt think its black patches Raghu. I feel its the shade of the walls or the shade of the decorative stones used. Also maybe some areas arent fully finished/decorated. Decoration in some British malls is like this- not too modern but classical and classy - an example is Touchwood shopping mall in Solihull, UK. Maybe we need to wait for it to open and see before coming to a final conclusion. However i hope there is plenty of natural lighting let in through the centre rounded roof visible at the top in pic.

'The Collection' is already operational, since six months.

I had been to the 'Louis Vuitton' Store on 31st May '08. The Mall had a soft launach earlier and the store too was inaugurated. That time only one more store, 'TODDS' was also open.

I didn't go there after that, but seems more stores have opened, like KIMAYA..

And the black patches which were discussed earlier are a part of its classical design, and not being dirty.

KEMP FORT, HAL Airport Road has transformed in to a new 'TOTAL'

TOTAL Hypermarket is operational in the upper floors.

Many vanilla shops/brands and eateries like MC Donalds about to open in the Ground Floor.

TOTAL

'Travelators' are used to climb down apart from the usual escalators

With so many malls in the suburbs ,I can see why MG/Brigades area is slowly dying.

Yep, if one follows the US ''mall model'' for retail thats what happens. It happened here (UK) too.So many great towns died 'cos of this.

it would be sad if mg/brigade would die...

but if you dont live near there, you have a hard time getting there.
traffic is horrible and public transportation is as good as not existent.

from banashankari it takes nearly forever to get there. it'd be cool if there was a mall near my place.

[sudheeshnairs]

This is a totally absurd statement, if you meant regarding public transport facilities to Whitefield.

Good bus services are there, including Volvo services, at least from Kempe Gouda Bus Station. During peak hours you can see one Volvo every 5 minutes, if not more.

And the malls in whitefield area is mostly targetted at the population in and around there. Population is not much increasing in the old urban centres, and there is no scope as not much construction activities/apartments are possible there. But in suburbs, the scale is construction as well as migration of people is gigantic.

WOW !!! some amazing malls coming up in Namma Bengaluru - ,The Collections, interior is certainly eye candy - inspired no doubt by Victorian decadence.

What a waste of money on building so many malls.As it is existing malls are registering low number of footfalls of which converting in to actual sales are still lower.
