The work is at a very advanced stage. Mantri claims that the Mall will open in September but it looks like an October Launch is probable.

Main Anchors are:
Spar Hypermarket, Lifestyle, Shoppers' Stop & Inox.

Inox will house a 6 Screen Multiplex that will also include a Gold Class Screen.

Bangalore is yet to see a bigger and better than Forum Mall which opened in February 2004. Looks like the long wait will finally come to an end.

SHOP@MANTRI - CENTRAL

Shop@Mantri has been completely leased to Pantaloon Retail. Central Mall will come up here.

The Mall Area is over 2,50,000 Sft. It will be twice the size of the existing Central Mall.

Work is at a very advanced stage and the Mall will open this Year.

The Mall will supposedly house a 4 Screen Inox Multiplex.

It isn't really desi architecture except for the domes. It's European architecture.
It would have been better if the pillars had Hoyaleswara or Hampi ruins architecture.
It's high time we create an indo-modern architecture with indian sculpture in stone married to glass and modern minimalist illumination. Instead of steel and glass , we have stone and glass.

Imagine an Akshardham style architecture with glass and futuristic lighting. The floors can be futuristic too with glass and lights from below. The walls and pillars can be sculptured. You don't have to have sculptors on-site. There are ready to assemble kits that come nowadays. Just check how Swaminarayan temples with beautiful carvings have been built in US and UK.

And if you think the cost is too high because of manual sculpting, even that has solutions. Nowadays you just feed the design into a CNC machine it can produce intricate designs. It is already being done for carving wooden doors.

Additionally if you see Indian architecture, there are repeating patterns bordering like lace on clothes combined with unique idols like in image below.

These patterns can be produced out of cement itself by casting them like tiles and pasting on regular cement buildings to give them an ethnic look.

Besides, from a tourism point of view, uniqueness sells. Why would others come to see in our country what they can easily find in theirs?

All these NCR and Bangalore malls of steel and glass are already beginning to look boring. Wonder how they will look a few years from now. The PWD architecture that we frown upon today was modern in the 60s. That's how steel and glass is going to be in few years. Stone architectures are a beauty forever and a smart one time investment that will retain its classic appeal. Let's marry that with modern minimalism.

Thanks for the info. thats exactly i have been saying for all our designs, ranging from airports to the city planning.
Just like bollywood we are blindly copying everything from west. We need to put our brains in the lessons from west and make it work for us.

if so it dosnt look like the biggest mall in india . And doubt if it'll be open in 2009 for their projected foot falls.
