Spencer Plaza

Spencer Plaza spans eight floors across 1.068 million square feet, containing 600,000 square feet of retail space and 400,000 square feet of offices.

Built in 1863 as a department store by Charles Durant and J. W. Spencer, the original building burned down in 1983 before reopening as a mall in 1991.

The complex reflects the transformation of Indian retail from colonial department stores to modern shopping centers, maintaining its position as India's oldest shopping mall.

The facility includes parking for 800 vehicles, accommodates over 700 retail outlets, and receives approximately 22,000 visitors during regular days and 60,000 during festivals.

The mall houses specialized shops selling traditional Pashmina shawls, Rajasthani crafts, and antique collections not found in other Chennai retail establishments.
