Detailed Content of City Center, Salt Lake

The City Center at Salt Lake city is a building of stupendous dimension and one of the latest addition to the city's glittering skyline. This architectural marvel has been designed by legendary architect Charles Correa who is regarded by many as one of contemporary India's most visionary architect.

A visit to City Center will reveal Correa's stunning architectural mind. For instance, The Plaza has been designed in such an aesthetic manner that has elements of a typical Kolkata Bazaar which blends harmoniously with the state-of-the-art surroundings. Not only that, the concept of "Kund" or reservoir has been applied in the Pedestrain Plaza which makes for a rather cool shopping environment, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the quintessential Kolkata Bazaar. And, to further accentuate the aesthetic appeal, an exclusive zone where portrait painters can be seen deftly using their brushes to create masterpieces. Wherever your eyes gaze, the unmistakable "Correa Effect" will transport you to the realms of a fairy tale world.

The centerpiece of activity is of course the Mall where unending rows of shops catering to a wide variety of products are available. There is a Departmental store as well which would put any Mall in downtown Manhattan to shame. If you have come with kids who are the naughtiest in town, don't you worry. There is an exclusive entertainment zone with all kinds of sci-fi and activity oriented games that keep the young ones buzzing. Apart from shopping, there is an exclusive 40,000 sq.feet of the finest office space available and many IT companies have already set up shops at this exlusive address in town.

Then, there is the 1000 seater Cineplex, among the best in India, with ultra modern audio visual gadgets. The City Center Cineplex has indeed revolutionized the way people watch movies in this part of the world.

Once you have finished your shopping binge, would you not like to sit down peacefully on the terrace restaurant, enjoying the majestic sweep of the Salt Lake skyline and munch your popcorns with your beloved? Yes, the Bengali's romance for food is legendary and at the Food Court you have every imaginable recipes topamper your tastebuds. The ice-cream parlor is a perennial favorite with the Gen X crowd.

The charm of City Center is such that it captivates people's senses and the master architect that Correa is, he has made adequate provisions for people who wouldn't mind spending a night or two in the sylvan surroundings of City Center. There are 60 signature apartments, duplexes and even a few Triplexes which are tucked away from the commercial hub and provide unmatched luxury.

Today, the City Center is not just a Mall where you go shopping and come back home with the goodies. It is much, much more than that. It s a lifestyle. A lifestyle where the sheer enormity of the complex will compel you to shed your inhibitions about space and the modern concept of "Compact living" which we are so used to, particularly in cities where space is at a premium.

In short, a visit to City Center is a celebration of life.
