Spread across a cumulative 0.5 million sq. ft., these assets are based in the Patny Square region and the RTC Cross Junction in East Hyderabad respectively. Secunderabad Central Mall, located at the junction of Patny Circle in Hyderabad has around 3,50,000 sq.ft of GBA, will be built with 4 levels + Entertainment. This mall is catering to the affluent catchment of Secunderabad, where shopping has been traditionally done only in the high streets.
