2 days back i happen to see a signboard in the Hyatt new campus (Hyatt is taking over from Balaji Enterprises i believe) in Mt Road saying Ramee Mall.

Not sure, whether this is a full fledged mall.

Allied Marina Mall just in front of hiranandhini on IT corridor.

Ground works looks to be completed.

Ramee Mall shares 50 per cent of the ground floor, first floor and the entire second floor with a total space of 2 Lakhs sq.ft

Apart from the mall, the 18-floor hotel (ground plus 14 floors and three basement floors) will have 334 rooms and six food and beverage outlets spread over 6,00,000 sq. ft.

Cool find!

200,000 sq.ft. would definitely classify as a full-fledged mall I'd say..

Hope the mall as well as hotel are up and running soon..

sridhar_n · April 23rd, 2009, 03:14 PM

when will AMPA mall open??? we've been waiting for too long for this...

It should be made into a mall for high end luxury brands ... like the one in UB city in Bangalooru ... would go well with the proposed 5 star hotel

but ub city mall was empty when i visited. not a soul inside those luxury shops.

venkatm · April 24th, 2009, 07:57 PM

people seem to visit UB city only for food court - Khansama restaurant. All the designer shops are indeed empty.

bharathkasthuri · April 30th, 2009, 03:20 PM

Happen to talk to Ampa Mall guys (employee- sr position) today. Looks like they are going to open by June. They are very confident in meeting this. They said that they have crossed all the hurdles (approvals).

Great news! I use Nelson Manickam road very frequently. Though i notice some construction workers on the site, the pace is very slow. Today i noticed some concreting work in the rear side of the mall where the multi level parking is coming up.

It was publicised tht there r around 90 players incl westside, PVR, spencers, Mcdnls. Dont know how many of them are sticking to this delayed project?! Im not seeing the recently opened Indi Mall doing good business. Most of the time the shop s near empty.

ferrari_fan · May 2nd, 2009, 08:15 PM

Where is Indi Mall? Never heard of it..

greatshankar · May 2nd, 2009, 08:36 PM

I think Express avenue will be ready soon, heared facading on mall portion started. Any updates?

dis.agree · May 3rd, 2009, 10:33 AM

yes, facading had started at express mall. i suppose it should open in a year's time once interior designs are complete. ampa mall however looks terrible with all kinds of colors.

seen from green park hotel, lot of construction activities were complete at prestige mall, vadapalani. in the front, it it is still at basement level. building at the back was i think up 4 floors.

Not sounding negative...but the fact is that the Ampa guys have been saying this for a long time now...and the activities don't seem to reflect what they say...going very slow...i don't understand how these guys sink in so much of money and then wait for this long to get approvals...it doesn't make any business sense...and it all depends on the source (!?) of their funds...

Looks like Ampa Mall is ready! Atlast!
