chennaiites now have an uber cool place to hang out in.The few weeks old Phoenix Market City in Velachery is an amazing gift . It’s shining, sparkling clean and while some store owners are still busy setting up their shop, the mall crazed have already started discovering the latest place.
Spread over a million sq. ft. Phoenix Market City houses 300-plus store brands, with four levels of shopping area and a food court, a basement as well as a multi-level car park, an apartment complex, a theatre and a club. It is one of the premium malls in the city.
It is a joint venture of Phoenix Mills and Sharyans Resources, and is the fourth in the series of Phoenix malls after Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru.It is a mix-up of shopping, dining, entertainment, art, architecture and design. This is a mall where people of Chennai would like to assemble. It’s where a day can be well spent.
So, what’s exciting about the mall? It brings to Chennai some of the biggest brands from across the country and the globe. The list includes…hold your breath…Mango, Manchester United, Superdry,Promod, Esbeda,Steve Madden and many others in addition to the already existing Lifestyle, Pantaloons, Global Desi, Charles & Keith, Aldo, MAC, Globus, and Indian apparel outlets such as Begum etc. There are electronic stores such as Access, Poorvika, home décor outlets, stores for new born babies and lots more.There is a good mix of shops for every age group in this mall.
Also, Chennai’s wait for its own Hard Rock Café can now end. The popular chain is scheduled to open in the next of couple of months. Spaghetti Kitchen, Nando’s, California Pizza Kitchen too will set up shop over here.
The food court has 11 counters set up by Moti Mahal Express, ID, KFC, Domino’s, Wow Momo, Nala’s Aappakadai, China Wall, Arabian Hut, Kailash Parbat, Fruit Punch and Kwality Walls.
This mall has been designed by Benoy, a Hong-Kong based company. It also believes in promoting art.They have sculptures by artists from all over India.
Sathyam Cinemas will launch their next theatre, titled Luxe,here. It will also house Chennai’s first IMAX theatre. The lobby looks like a glitzy night club in Paris. With black and white tiles, high ceiling,and 11 screens to choose from this theatre is bound to be lookout for.
It is certain that the mall will do well here because Chennai is a great market. This city is still very traditional, yet modern. It is true representation of modern India.
