While Allied Housing & Development is planning a seven lakh square feet mall at Sirusseri on the Old Mahabalipuram Road, Chennai’s IT corridor, Ozone Group’s 14 lakh square feet Ozone Mall is coming up at its integrated township Metro Zone in Anna Nagar.
Company showrooms are expected to take up at least 90 per cent of the floor area in these malls, where the standard rentals are Rs 12-15 per square feet. This works out cheaper for companies, which would otherwise have to lease dedicated spaces at Rs 50-60 per square feet in retail hotbeds of the city like T-Nagar, Nungambakkam and Anna Nagar.
“While office rentals in the city are still on the higher side, they may not be attracted to rent spaces in malls. Malls are dedicated retail spaces, but it remains to be seen if the demand exists in Chennai,†cautioned Abdur Ravoof, a partner with Property Care.
