The Experience Center spanning 0.13 million square feet, is all set to redefine workspaces and leisure facilities. Scheduled for inauguration in Q1 FY26 (Q3 FY25 for shell & core), it will boast meticulously designed workspaces alongside a plethora of recreational amenities, including indoor-outdoor cafes, a bar and lounge, sporting arenas for badminton, squash, tennis, yoga and meditation studios, aerobic rooms, a state-of-the-art gymnasium, and a half Olympic-size lap pool.
According to the report, foundation and basement works for the 1A-1B re-development are advancing steadily, with a balance cost of Rs 5,944 million. The Experience Center’s upper ground floor slab works are in progress, with a balance cost of Rs 950 million.
