Tamil Nadu Housing Board plans to construct mall in Ashok Nagar

Cashing in on the trend of swanky commercial spaces, the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) plans to construct a mall in a residential tower in Ashok Nagar. This is the first time a state-owned board is foraying into mall space. An artist’s impression of the multi-storey building coming up near the Ashok Pillar was published in the policy note of the housing and urban development department and unveiled in the legislative assembly on Saturday. The 22-storey structure, which appears to be in the shape of a wine glass, would be constructed on the tri-junction plot at Ashok Pillar.
