Kundannoor, on the Vytila-Aroor stretch of NH-66 in Kochi, carries two Prestige Group addresses within a short distance of each other: the residential development Prestige Cityscape and the retail landmark Forum Kochi, which the group co-developed with the Dubai-headquartered Thomsun Group. Forum Kochi is promoted by Prestige Group, one of India's largest real estate developers and Thomsun Group, a Dubai-headquartered diversified conglomerate, with a strong presence across GCC and the Indian subcontinent. That the same developer anchors both a shopping destination and a housing project at one junction is a useful marker of how central Kundannoor has become to Prestige Group's Kochi strategy.
Founded in 1986, Prestige Group has become one of the leading and most successful real estate developers across India. The group engages in developing residential units, commercial complexes, hospitality structures, retail and rentals. Its projects extend to Bangalore, Calicut, Chennai, Goa, Hyderabad, Kochi, Mangalore, and Mumbai. In Kerala, that footprint runs beyond Kundannoor to Kakkanad, Kalamassery, and Edappally, where the group maintains a regional office. The Prestige Group of Kochi's address is on the 8th Floor, Prestige TMS Square, Padivattom, Edappally, Kochi, Kerala 682024. Kundannoor, however, is where the developer's residential and retail bets sit closest together, giving it a visible, on-ground presence rather than a single standalone tower.
Prestige Cityscape occupies a site near Kundannoor Junction on the NH-66 Vytila-Aroor bypass. It is a new apartment project offering 3 and 4 BHK apartments, set on a landscaped plot with multiple towers of apartment units. Unit sizes range between 1,735 sq. ft. and 2,754 sq. ft. Prices for the units start from INR 1.12 crore. The project was launched in October 2020 and is now ready to move in. Possession was scheduled for June 2024. The project carries RERA registration number K-RERA/PRJ/232/2020, as listed across multiple property records for the development.
On amenities, the development follows the format typical of Prestige's mid-to-large gated communities in South India: a swimming pool, gymnasium, clubhouse access, and a children's play area exclusive to residents. Nearby landmarks named in project records include the Naval Helipad, Nettoor Railway Station, JB School, the University of Cochin, and Ayurcare Hospital. Other cited landmarks in the vicinity are Forum Kochi, Dallas Language School, and Junior Basic School.
A short walk from the apartment towers, the Prestige-Thomsun retail venture underlines the developer's scale in this pocket of the city. Developed on approximately 10 acres of land, it has a total built-up area of about 1,036,135 square feet, with a retail leasable area of around 639,606 square feet. Construction began in April 2011 with support from the Thomsun Group, and the mall opened to the public on 19 August 2023. Anchor tenants include Lulu Hypermarket, PVR Luxe, Marks & Spencer, H&M, Fun City, Lifestyle, and Shoppers Stop, alongside brands such as Lacoste, Under Armour, and Armani Exchange. For a Prestige Cityscape resident, this means daily retail, entertainment, and dining sit within the same address rather than requiring a drive across the city.
Kundannoor is well-connected to key parts of Kochi by road, with Kundannoor Junction forming an important intersection linking NH-66 with other major routes. Highways including NH-85 and NH-966B also pass through the neighbouring Maradu belt, which has helped the wider area grow. The location is additionally served by waterways, and the area has a concentration of IT parks and industries. Commercial hubs nearby include Infopark Phase 2, the CSEZ IT campus, and the Kochi International Business School. Forum Kochi itself is about 5 kilometres from the Vyttila Mobility Hub and roughly 8 kilometres from Ernakulam Junction railway station, which places both the mall and the residential project within Kochi's core transit network rather than at its periphery. Kundannoor is counted among the prime locations to buy a home in Kochi, with nine residential projects recorded in the locality, Prestige Cityscape being the one carrying the Prestige name.
A buyer looking at Prestige Group in Kundannoor is not evaluating an isolated tower but a developer that has placed both a residential project and a large retail asset at the same junction, backed by a company with an established base across South Indian metros. The apartment sizes at Cityscape, running from roughly 1,735 to 2,754 sq. ft. in 3 and 4 BHK layouts, are pitched at larger-format family housing rather than compact units, consistent with the locality's positioning as an established, infrastructure-rich address on NH-66 rather than a peripheral growth corridor.
