Market of India is a first-of-its-kind organised wholesale centre at this scale, designed to build a self-sustained community of traders. Merely a few kilometers from trade hubs like Sowcarpet, Parrys, Purasawalkam and Choolai, it is centrally-located in SPR City, the largest mixed use development in the heart of Chennai.
Objective
SPR City’s wholesale centre – Market of India – is aimed at bringing all trade under one roof and is projected to grow into an iconic business destination, rivalling some of the biggest trade centres in China. It is a platform to utilise the opportunity presented by the current physical and social infrastructure bottlenecks faced in Sowcarpet (India’s largest wholesale market) located at just 3 kms from the project site.
The site has road access on all four sides and is the only private land of this scale in close proximity to the city’s wholesale markets. The development of the wholesale center on the site will prove to be an extension to the current wholesale market in Chennai and is expected to become a trading hub not only for the Chennai city, but also the entire India, given its proximity to Chennai Port.
Drawing inspiration from wholesale markets, Chennai and other traditional Indian markets, Market of India is devised as an extension to the bustling trade hubs of the city and is a cohesive marketplace where business can be carried out seamlessly. The project comprises of 9 markets that offers world-class features and amenities; right from Truck terminals, LCV parking, spacious trade corridors to advanced security features, this new landmark of Chennai is all set to revolutionize traditional markets and reinvent trade in the country.
The Project
The project has markets with 5000 plus shops and offices featuring trades and commodities. The other key highlights include:
