The project will feature contemporary architecture along with a range of public amenities and facilities for recreational, cultural and commercial activities.

Under the proposed plan for ‘Ahmedabad City Square’, three basement levels will be constructed at an approximate depth of 15 meters below ground level. Basement 1 will provide parking for approximately 195 cars, Basement 2 will accommodate around 190 cars, and Basement 3 will have parking facilities for approximately 1,109 two-wheelers.

The project will also feature lower-ground and upper-ground levels above the basement structure. The lower-ground level is planned to house shops and an art gallery, providing space for commercial and cultural activities. The upper-ground level will be developed as an urban plaza, featuring food kiosks at all four corners, an amphitheatre with a seating capacity of 310 people, a garden, food court, seating areas and a water fountain.

An iconic tower, approximately 175 meters high, is planned as the centrepiece of ‘Ahmedabad City Square’. A two-storey restaurant will be developed at a height of approximately 40 meters, with seating for around 900 people at a time. A terrace deck café will be created above the restaurant, offering seating for approximately 1200 people. The plan envisages a circular structure with approximately 6,485 square meters of built-up area at a height of 40 meters to accommodate these facilities.

A sky deck and skywalk will be developed at the top of the tower, at an approximate height of 175 meters, offering panoramic views of Ahmedabad. The sky deck is planned to feature a viewing gallery that can accommodate approximately 75 people at a time. A large digital screen will also be installed along the tower between approximately 40 and 175 meters, enabling continuous display of digital advertisements.

The ‘Ahmedabad City Square’ project will thus bring together parking facilities, commercial activities, art and culture, food, entertainment and panoramic views of the city. The development is envisioned as a distinctive iconic urban space and a social and commercial hub for Ahmedabad.

As the project is envisioned as a landmark development that will define the identity of the city, a special orientation meeting will be organised for this project. The tender was published on October 25, 2026. During the orientation meeting, contractors interested in undertaking the project will be given a detailed briefing on its scope and requirements. Two pre-bid meetings will also be held before the tender is finalised to ensure the selection of a suitable contractor and timely completion of the work. Following the award of the contract, the project will have to be completed within 42 months, or three and a half years.
