Dreaming has always been an inherent activity of the holiday homes in India buyer prior to buying a house. Even after the purchase, the buyer continues to dream about outfitting the house with amenities, fixtures and fittings to his or her liking. Omaxe, the multi-million real estate major from Delhi cashed in on the first dream by promoting various housing schemes. Now, Omaxe is all set to fulfill the other dream too by building the spectacular “House 2 Home Mall”, a mall project that will redefine the way home-

House 2 Home Mall will house national and international brands for anything or everything to do with constructions and interiors, be it furniture, white goods, electrical, bathroom fittings, gardening or furnishing. In addition, it will house the services of reputed interior designers, Vaastu and Feng Shui consultants. Omaxe’s avowed aim is to make the mall a one-stop destination before moving into a new home. The market for such a mall definitely seems to be there. One lakh residential units are coming up in Gurgaon. The home retail industry is poised at Rs. 20,000 crore of transaction when every house will be turning into a home. That’s a huge business opportunity. And the House 2 Home mall is all set to cash in on this huge market. Designed by Studio KIA of USA & Dubai, the mall will follow international norms of distribution of space for different sections and traffic flow. A unique aspect will be the setting up of service shops to provide expert advice on all home-related queries. With a built up area of 2, 00, 000 sq.feet (approx.), the mall will house about 100 showrooms and 20-25 service offices.

Omaxe expects one lakh customers to patronize the mall. Omaxe’s plans for the mall are mind-boggling. They have already allotted areas for Art gallery, Aquarium, Children’s furniture, Computers, Consultancy services, Crockery and Cutlery, Decorative Glass, Decorative Items, Flooring material, Flooring Tiles, furnishings, garden Furniture, Hardware, Information Kiosks, Kitchen Equipment and Cabinets, Library on Home making, Lights, Mirrors, Office Furniture, Outdoor Furniture, Paints, Soft Furnishings, Swimming Pool Accessories, Toilet Accessories, White Goods & Electronic Goods. While shopping is expected to exhaust even die-hards, House 2 Home Mall is attempting to make the process a very satisfying experience by providing conveniences like escalators, fully backed air-conditioned environment and ample parking space. To give regular breaks, the mall will also house a coffee shop and a food court.

As a spokesperson of Omaxe put it, “Buying a house is an emotional experience. We intend to keep it that way while furnishing it too.”
