We are not merely developing commercial real estate; we are creating a vibrant urban space where people come to meet friends, enjoy great food and coffee, discover leading brands, experience entertainment and participate in cultural activities. We believe ‘Capital One’ will become a go-to destination for not just Zirakpur residents but for people of the entire tricity region and even beyond."

Mukul Bansal further said that the project is designed around the philosophy of ‘More Than Retail. A Destination’, and  will bring together premium retail brands, high-street shopping, signature restaurants, cafés, food outlets, entertainment spaces and modern office environments within one integrated development.

The USP of the upcoming project which is aimed to be fully operational with all brands by 2030, is its location- the project is located bang on the famous Aerocity Chowk at the corner towards Patiala.

Mukul Bansal while explaining the upcoming project’s locational edge, said, "The development is strategically located at the NH-7 and PR-7 junction and provides unmatched accessibility from Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Ambala and Patiala, while the surrounding residential growth and commercial ecosystem make it one of the most promising investment destinations in the region.”

“Landscaped public spaces, pedestrian-friendly boulevards and thoughtfully designed community areas will create an engaging atmosphere where families, professionals and young consumers can spend quality time beyond conventional shopping,” added Mukul Bansal.

It is worth mentioning that at ‘Motiaz Capital One’ seasonal festivals, cultural celebrations, lifestyle events and community engagements, will be hosted at regular intervals thereby creating an all-day destination that remains active from morning until late evening.

It’s worth mentioning that Motiaz Group was founded in 1995 by visionary entrepreneur Pawan Bansal, and has earned a reputation for delivering quality residential and commercial developments across the Tricity region. Now under the leadership of Mukul Bansal, the Group continues to expand its portfolio.

Mukul Bansal in conclusion said: "Building on our current momentum, we have a strong development pipeline across residential and commercial
real estate. Our upcoming projects include an ultra-luxury residential development in Zirakpur, a premium summer home community in Kasauli, and a residential township in Bathinda, where we have recently secured CLU approvals. We are also exploring the development of a modern retail destination in Shimla.”
