The city which is well famous for its bazaars and small squeezed alleys which serves the purpose of shopping, street food and lots more. The skyline of Jaipur has tremendously increased by the rapid development.

JLN marg is one of the posh and highlighted areas of Jaipur and introducing World Trade Park (WTP) was like a flood of fun especially for shopaholics. Finally, what is clubbed among the biggest three malls in the country like the Phoenix High street Palladium in Mumbai and the Select City Walk in Delhi, the WTP threw open its gates early this month.
There are 25 outlets that have come since the launch of WTP on March 1. All the retail and entertainment space has been leased out. By the end of next month, 100 outlets would be doing business," said Anoop Bartaria, promoter of WTP. The auditorium, hotel, trade fair centre and about 250 office facilities will be fully functional in six month time.
While it's hard to believe how much is too much for a city like Jaipur, the pipeline of projects continue remain robust. Delhi-based Innovative, a Flats in Jaipur and mall developer, there are many project which are in pipeline and indeed the different malls which has loads of brand itself is major enhancement parameter for the City. WTP has become a king in all the malls.
But the stress points of the competition are already visible with footfalls disappearing and occupancy dwindling to less than half of the space in quite a few places. The City Pulse mall admit that their business has taken a beating and the current health is nowhere closer to the rosy days when these popular landmarks were throbbing with activity. But that doesn't mean they are throwing in the towel anytime soon.
The radio stations keeps on doing the random activities in the malls which keeps the rigor high of the public, any of the festivals becomes so highlighted these days only because of malls and it gives you a feel of celebration all around, Vist the malls during Diwali, Holi, X-Mas or any Man-made days like Valentines, Monther, Fathers day Malls always gives public a very special feel of every occasion.
Having so much of brand altogether with different kinds of cafes solves the purpose in one go! City is actually waiting for more WTP’s.
