Vivacity is spread over three levels and will have a 14-screen Cinepolis multiplex
Sheth Developers & Realtors, Mumbai’s leading real estate developer, will launch its first retail project, Vivacity Mall, in Thane in September.
Vivacity claims to be one of the largest malls in India by offering shoppers more options and choices when it comes to shopping, food and entertainment.
The mall, with a total built-up area of 1 million sq ft, is situated on a 50-acre plot off the Eastern Express Highway that also includes a residential unit and an IT park. The mall is spread over three levels and boasts of a multiplex with 14 screens, 7 large anchors, with Hyper City and Shoppers Stop being its anchor tenants who have leased an area of 85,000 sq ft and 60,000 sq ft, respectively, spread across the ground and first floor. It also has several mini-anchors and 160 shops.
In addition, the large food court and sprawling dining area are spread over 40, 000 sq ft and can seat around 1, 300 people. The food court has a tapered roof, which gives it a casual yet sophisticated ambiene of open-air dining. Food stores and restaurants are present at all levels of the mall to cater to shoppers’ wanting a quick bite or a little rest over a meal.
Covering the second level of Vivacity is the Family Entertainment Centre, which sets a new standard for family entertainment, with offerings ranging from bumper-cars and bowling to 32-bit arcade games and entertainment for toddlers.
Ashwin Sheth, managing director, Sheth Developers, said, “Thane is increasingly becoming a city in itself and people residing in this area are expecting the best in facilities, infrastructure and leisure. I strongly believe Vivacity is going to reset benchmarks in retail shopping experience. It is a best in class community destination and has been strategically designed to ensure delight to both shoppers as well as retailers. Once launched, we believe Vivacity will raise the bar in retail space.”
The defining feature of the mall is that it houses Cinepolis, one of the largest multiplexes in the country with a facility to show over 70 shows in a single day with a seating capacity of 2,400 people. It will offer a luxurious and ultra-premium experience to the cinema-goer. The mall has allotted 2 levels in the basement for ramp parking that can hold up to 2,400 vehicles. Each level has a separate entrance and exit and both the levels are directly connected to the mall via 3 sets of escalators.
Vivacity Mall has engaged Development Design Group USA, an internationally renowned planning architecture and design company, to develop the project. The design aesthetics and materials standard are very high, with an attempt to provide the best environment for a high-quality shopping experience.
