Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels and Ambuja Neotia have jointly announced the launch of The Park Unizen, a hospitality-integrated development of serviced residences on Kolkata’s EM Bypass, marking a significant addition to the city’s evolving urban corridor.

The project comprises 69 serviced residences and is positioned alongside the upcoming THE Park Hotel. Together, the two developments are envisioned to strengthen the corridor’s emergence as a mixed-use lifestyle destination.

The collaboration brings together two groups that have shaped Eastern India’s hospitality and built environment over decades. The initiative reflects a strategic alignment of established institutional experience with rising demand for design-led, hospitality-linked living formats.

Architecture and Design

Designed by global architecture firm Gensler, the project draws inspiration from the layered ecology of the Sundarban mangroves, expressed through vertical articulation and a carefully structured façade that responds to light and climate.

The interiors of the common area and club have been designed by Bobby Mukherrji Architects, introducing a curated material palette and experiential detailing, aligning contemporary aesthetics with contextual nuance. An elevated wellness terrace with a panoramic pool, landscaped zones and curated leisure spaces forms a central feature of the development.

Hospitality Integration

Adding to the gravitas of this address is the upcoming THE Park Hotel, also designed by Gensler. With 218 rooms, this luxury hospitality landmark is envisioned as a vibrant destination for the city, offering curated banquet and event spaces, signature dining experiences, dynamic nightlife venues, and dedicated wellness and leisure facilities. The hotel will also feature an air taxi landing facility.

Together, these developments further reinforce EM Bypass as a key growth axis in Kolkata’s continuing urban expansion.

Priya Paul, Chairperson, Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels Limited, said, “THE Park has always been about shaping spaces where design and culture come alive. With our new luxury hotel on EM Bypass, we are extending that spirit into a larger urban canvas. The Park Unizen brings hospitality into everyday living. It is about waking up to design, energy and connection, and experiencing the creative pulse of Kolkata as part of daily life.”

“For us, development is not just about adding to the skyline; it is about shaping how a city feels and functions. The Park Unizen has been envisioned as a limited address where proportion, privacy and thoughtfulness guide every space. It reflects our belief that architecture must be contemporary in expression yet deeply rooted in the cultural sensibility of the place it belongs to,” said Harshavardhan Neotia, Chairman, Ambuja Neotia.
