Forum Mall is a shopping mall in the Bhowanipore area of Kolkata, India. It was initially conceived as an office tower; 80% of the foundation was complete before it was converted into a mall.[1] Currently it covers 200,000 square feet of area and has 125,000 square feet of retail area, and was opened to the public with the launch of Shoppers' Stop.[2] Its opening was credited with turning its neighbourhood from a quiet residential area into an upmarket shopping destination.[3] It has been noted for its excellent layout and signage.[4] The mall is constructed and owned by Rahul Saraf, Chairman of SAPL. The Mall also has a branch in Bhubaneswar named Forum Mart.
The tenants are diverse ranging from retail outlets to entertainment multiplex theatres to dining.[4] The mall offers paging services and a dedicated telephone exchange.[2] As of July 2003, the mall had parking space for 175 cars and planned to increase it to 700 cars in 18 months.[2]
