Kolkata is fast emerging as the new hotspot for retail, indicated a Cushman & Wakefield survey, which pegs mall space occupancy in the city in the third quarter at 95 percent. The eastern city, which till some years ago had only the Forum Mall in central Kolkata, now has a string of them — the Mani Square Mall, Avani Mall and the newly inaugurated Quest Mall, to name a few. In its 'Retail Q3 Report', the real estate consultancy says mall space in the city could go up by another 440,000 square feet in the coming months.
