With the required Government and Local Authority’s sanctions, the constructions have been commenced.

    The CHAIROS CENTER has two parts:
    The CENTENARY PLAZA of seven floors and a cellar for car park. Of these the lower 3 floors are intented for a shopping mall to give self-sustaining income for the four Floors of Student Activities.

    The other part is the CENTENARY APARTMENTS with 10 Floors + Ground Floor+ 2 Cellar Floors for car park and 53 apartments. This building will be in the back of the Plaza and with separate entry from the temple road in the back.
