History

edit

The mall was officially opened to the public in May 2009 and quickly grew into becoming the largest entertainment hub in Coimbatore at that time. The land previously belonged to Brooke Bond Lipton which had a tea processing unit upon it.[1]

Later in 2016, Blackstone Inc. was set to buy the mall to be part of their Nexus Malls brand but failed due to some land rights issues with the owners.[2]
