Why Kundannoor is Kochi's Fast-Growing Address
Kundannoor sits at one of Kochi's busiest crossroads, at the meeting point of NH 66, NH 85 and NH 966B along the Kochi Bypass, within the Maradu Municipality of Ernakulam district. This junction advantage has turned the locality into a commercial and residential magnet, with a six-lane flyover built to handle the heavy traffic that passes through it daily.
The area is unofficially recognised as the automobile hub of Kochi, home to showrooms of Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Honda BigWing and Harley Davidson, reflecting the strong commercial pulse of the neighbourhood. Landmark five-star hospitality anchors the skyline too, with the Le Meridien and Crowne Plaza hotels located right at Kundannoor junction.
Retail arrived in a big way with Forum Kochi, a premium shopping mall developed jointly by Prestige Group and Thomsun Group on the Vyttila-Aroor Bypass, which opened to the public on 19 August 2023. Spanning close to 640,000 sq ft of retail leasable area across 123 stores with anchors like Lulu Hypermarket, PVR Luxe, Marks & Spencer and Shoppers Stop, the mall alone has reshaped how residents shop and unwind in this corridor.
Real estate here has responded to this infrastructure push with steady price appreciation, and the locality now counts multiple residential projects from major developers, making it one of the most actively transacted addresses in south Kochi.
