Ludhiana City Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ludhiana City Centre is a multi-crore proposed project (now abandoned[1]) which was launched in year 2003[2] in Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, near Pakhowal road, Ludhiana, India. The proposed project would have five major constituents — The Mall, The Heights, The Forum, The Podium and Five-star hotel.[3] The City centre has been spread over 25 acres (100,000 m2) having shopping malls, 12 multiplexes, residential apartments, helipad and parking slot.[4]
The Ludhiana City Centre project was launched in 2005-06 by the Ludhiana Improvement Trust (LIT), to develop a mixed-use complex including a shopping mall, residential towers, a multiplex, and a helipad over 25 acres on Pakhowal Road, Ludhiana.[5] Construction began in 2006 under contract to M/S Today Homes, with initial earthworks and foundational works completed by year's end.[6] The main structural frames for the mall and two of the planned five towers rose by 2008. Then, the news of irregularities first emerged, which halted the further work despite partial completion of the podium and basement levels.[5]
