Asilmetta is one of the busy commercial centres of Visakhapatnam, housing showrooms of several national and international apparel, jewellery, and electronics brands. It is part of the city’s central business district. The land parcel is located only some 500 metres away from the Visakhapatnam bus station.

According to the GVMC officials, the proposed project has about 265 crore investment potential. The site would be required to be developed with a minimum gross built up area of 8.7 lakh square feet, including 6.56 lakh sft built-up area and 2.16 lakh sft parking area. The GVSCCL wants to develop the proposed structure as an iconic architectural building for the city.

According to the GVMC officials, the identified 2.7-acre land has the potential to be ideally developed as a commercial complex, mall, multiplex, hotel tower, and urban recreational centre. The development is envisaged through a single developer or a consortium. After the development of the project, the developer would share revenue with the GVSCCL.
