Nexus Esplanade

Nexus Esplanade is a shopping mall and mixed-use commercial complex in the Rasulgarh Industrial Estate area of Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The property was formerly known as Esplanade One and is identified in reference material as one of the largest shopping malls in the state. Its development was associated with Forum Group in partnership with The Blackstone Group, while the architectural design was attributed to Practice Design Pvt Ltd. The complex combines retail, food, entertainment, office, and parking functions. Reference descriptions give the property a built-up area of approximately 9.5 lakh square feet, while a broader property description places its total commercial built-up area at about 1,000,000 square feet. The retail component is described as approximately 400,000 square feet and includes more than 200 outlets, with space for apparel, food and beverage, restaurants, a food court, cafeterias, family entertainment, and a multiplex. The development also includes approximately 250,000 square feet of office space and approximately 300,000 square feet of parking. The office component begins from the third floor, while the overall complex is described as extending across roughly nine or ten floors in different published descriptions. The venue has been positioned as a combined shopping and entertainment destination rather than only a conventional retail center. Its tenant and visitor offer includes national and international fashion, dining, leisure, cinema, and family-oriented activities. A notable retail event occurred in September 2018, when actress and model Disha Patani inaugurated the first Marks & Spencer store in Bhubaneswar at the mall. The opening attracted substantial public attention and helped associate the property with the arrival of a major international fashion retailer in the city. In August 2018, Esplanade One hosted a midnight sale promoted around discounts from more than 40 brands, hourly prizes, and a grand-prize drawing for a Honda Activa 5G. The event illustrates the mall's use of promotional programming, seasonal retail activity, and entertainment-led traffic generation. The property was subsequently referred to as Nexus Esplanade, reflecting the name used by the canonical Wikipedia subject. Detailed information about the timing and legal structure of the rebranding, current ownership, management, tenant roster, financial performance, and official website is not established in the supplied reference material.

Nexus Esplanade is a retail and entertainment property in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, that operated under the earlier name Esplanade One. It is located in the Rasulgarh Industrial Estate Area, a commercially significant part of the city. The development was associated with Forum Group and The Blackstone Group, and its design was credited to Practice Design Pvt Ltd. The property was conceived as a mixed-use complex rather than a single-purpose shopping center. Published descriptions identify a substantial retail component, office accommodation, parking, dining, family entertainment, and a multiplex. One description records approximately 9.5 lakh square feet of built-up area, including around 4 lakh square feet of leasable retail and multiplex space, 2.5 lakh square feet of offices, and 3 lakh square feet of parking. Another description gives the total commercial built-up area as approximately 1,000,000 square feet and describes the complex as extending over ten floors. The sources differ slightly in their floor-count and area descriptions, so the exact current figures should be verified against official property documentation. The mall's commercial model is based on combining a broad tenant mix with destination experiences. Its listed facilities include more than 200 outlets, cafeterias, restaurants, a food court, family entertainment zones, a multiplex, and multilevel parking. The complex therefore serves routine retail needs as well as social, dining, leisure, and cinema visits. Office floors begin from the third floor according to the available property description, adding a workplace component to the retail-led development. Two publicly described events from 2018 illustrate the property's marketing strategy. On 14 August, Esplanade One organized a midnight sale promoted with offers from more than 40 brands, discounts of up to 50 percent, hourly prizes, and a grand-prize drawing for a Honda Activa 5G. On 14 September, Disha Patani inaugurated the first Marks & Spencer store in Bhubaneswar at the mall. The store opening reportedly attracted a large crowd and gave the property visibility as a venue for branded retail launches. The property later became known as Nexus Esplanade, which is the canonical subject name used by the referenced Wikipedia article. The supplied material does not establish the precise date or legal mechanism of the name change. It also does not provide verified information about current ownership, management, annual revenue, tenant occupancy, executive leadership, or an official corporate website. Accordingly, the mall's documented history is strongest on its location, development partners, physical configuration, tenant concept, and early promotional events, while its current corporate and financial details remain unconfirmed.
