Mangaluru, Nov 20: The foundation for Ecologic Habitats Transit One, the first of the Transit series of theme-based malls was laid at Thokkottu amidst a glittering ceremony on Friday November 20.

Addressing the gathering, P S Mohammed, managing director, Ecologic Habitats said, "We have been in the construction industry for the past 25 years. Ecologic Habitats is a 2-year-old company. Mangaluru's suburbs are untapped and no one has taken a keen interest in developing them. People are coming to Mangaluru for all their requirements, so we are setting up a theme-based mall on NH 66. This is the first one in Thokkottu and other ones will be in BC Road and Suratkal. As many as 29 units costing between Rs 11 lac and Rs 90 lac are already sold. The project will be completed in 30 months."

I M Adka, Mohammed Arabi Kunhi and Ismail Adka launched the brochure.

Khader Caizer welcomed the gathering while P S Mohammed thanked the gathering.

Kareem Adka, Chandra Chowta, land owner and others were present.

About Ecological Habitat 'Transit One'

'Transit One' aims to maximize the shopping access to public private transport along this busy freeway that connects Kerala to Mangaluru, Goa, Mumbai and so on. Transit One also caters to the Thokottu region, a fast growing suburb with numerous educational institutes and IT firms. The tagline 'Stop. Recharge. Restart' sums up the transit situated on 40 cents of land with 50,000 sq ft area of plush shopping experience. It addresses the need of the hour for towns like Thokottu, which otherwise would have to depend on nearby Mangaluru city to meet their routine shopping and recreational requirements.

Transit One offers a wide range of products right from affordable mini boutique stores to large drive in supermarkets, restaurants, food courts, social clubs, thus catering to all sections of the society. The external facade also has a large electronic display screen where one can showcase their ideas and brands. Promoters of the project envision Transit One to be a 'Small world of large happiness'.

The visitors step into the level 1 by strolling across the external landscaped plaza, where they are welcomed by their favourite branded stores. Level 2 is the urban fashionista's delight where a wide range of trendy apparel accessories catch your eye. Level 3 is what the Ecologic says is the modem version of the 'Old Indian Bazaar', where the local entrepreneurial spirit is at full display at the smaller boutique stores. Level 4 offers an extensive variety of culinary options with the perfect ambience.
