This complex conveys the story of a successful transition<br />
of a residential complex into a modern commercial centre.<br />
A modern picturesque that stands on its old glory with all<br />
its splendor and subtlety!<br />
Durbar Marg, also<br />
known as King’s<br />
way (leading to<br />
Narayanhiti Palace) is<br />
situated at the heart<br />
of Kathmandu City.<br />
It is one of the most<br />
famous and posh area<br />
of Kathmandu with<br />
luxury hotels, restaurants<br />
serving international<br />
cuisines, fine<br />
boutiques, galleries,<br />
travel agencies and<br />
airline offices.<br />
And when it came to<br />
re-designing the existing<br />
Mercantile Plaza,<br />
situated at Durbar<br />
Marg the designers<br />
opted for an elegant<br />
and a contemporary<br />
composition of glass<br />
and aluminum panels.<br />
This building, which<br />
now accommodates<br />
almost a dozen of<br />
high-end stores and<br />
a roof top restaurant<br />
Mezze, is one of the<br />
most popular hubs<br />
in the capital. The<br />
Mercantile Building<br />
has been a one sure<br />
shot destination for<br />
the shopping mongers<br />
as well as the foodies<br />
of the valley.<br />
