Bringing a New Retail Experience to Mohali, India

North-Country-Mall.002The North Country Mall is a mixed use retail prototype and the first of potentially 40 rollout malls in India, introducing a new shopping experience to the region and its’ culture.

“India lacks a strong ‘organized’ retail presence.  Estimated at more than $600 billion in 2010, retail in India is dominated by small retail stores that average less than 500 sq. ft. per store. B. Anantharaman, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer

“Gumberg’s strategy is to develop about 20 regional and super regional malls across India over the next 6-7 years,” Anantharaman says. “Initial concentration is in top 12 markets with the greatest potential.”

The North Country Mall, now approximately 4 months away from opening, is rated one of the best upcoming malls in India, having attracted several high-end tenants to the shopping center. The mall is pre‐leased more than 80 percent of its 280 outlets to prominent international retailers.
