New Friends Colony market displays


the characteristics of grid
intensification, and forms a dense
network of pedestrian's boulevards
and courtyards, with parking and
vehicular access around the periphery.
New Friends Colony market differs
from the other examples in that it is
located to the east, is adjacent to one
of the busiest intersections in the city,
and is located to the edge of the
Colony. Moreover, it does not bear any
resemblance to the typical layout of
Community Centre markets, but
approximates a town centre
development, having the typical
property of grid intensification from the
surrounding
areas

NFC consists of A,B,C,D Blocks. D block Community Centre is the main


market here which has a Cineplex (Glitz) and Five Star Hotel (The
Suryaa) as part of the complex. A multi-level parking lot is also scheduled
to open nearby soon
New Friends Colony market is a Community Centre and consists range
from 65 to 193 shops over areas of approximately 16,000 to 56,000 sq
metres.

neighborhood park, which has a health Centre and is used extensively for
