The Marq by HAND Group – Commercial Retail, F&B & Entertainment Spaces on NH-5, Jabli Kasauli in Himachal Pradesh — Flats

Some places are built to be visited. The Marq is built to be felt. Set on the Chandigarh-Shimla Highway at Jabli in Kasauli, this commercial destination brings together retail, food and entertainment in the middle of the Himalayan foothills. Every showroom window looks out at pine-covered slopes. Every restaurant table sits closer to clean mountain air than to city noise.  

The Marq is designed as a retail and leisure hub for a growing hill corridor. Anchor stores, showrooms, cafes and a full food court sit on the lower floors. A bowling alley, a trampoline park and a kids' play zone bring families and young visitors to the upper floor. The idea is simple. Give travellers on the Kasauli route and residents of the surrounding hills, one address where shopping, dining and play come together.  

For business owners, The Marq offers visibility on a national highway that carries steady tourist and local traffic through the year. For visitors, it offers a reason to stop, breathe and stay a little longer on their way up to Kasauli or Shimla.  

Project Overview  

Vastu at The Marq  

The Marq is planned with an awareness of natural light, airflow and directional balance, principles that sit close to Vastu Shastra. Commercial spaces are positioned to draw daylight through the day, while entry points and corridors are laid out for smooth, unobstructed movement of people and energy alike.  

• Main retail entries face the highway for open, positive access.  
• Food court and kitchen zones are placed with attention to fire-element balance.  
• Wide corridors and staircases support easy, uncluttered circulation.  
• Upper floor leisure zones sit in naturally well-lit, open sections of the building.  

Floor-Wise Layout  

The Marq Leisure Zone  A Clubhouse for the Hills  

The Marq does not have a traditional residential clubhouse, because it is a commercial project. Instead, its second floor works like one. This is where the building slows down and starts to feel personal.  

• A full-sized bowling alley for families and groups  
• A trampoline park built for energy and laughter in equal measure  
• A dedicated kids' play zone so parents can shop or dine without worry  
• Multiple restaurants and cafes with dedicated kitchens on the same floor  

Together, these spaces turn a shopping trip into an afternoon out and an afternoon out into a memory worth repeating.  

Locality and Connectivity  

The Marq sits directly on NH-5, the Chandigarh-Shimla Highway, on the Parwanoo-Solan stretch that has been four-laned under the National Highway Development Project. This is the primary route connecting Chandigarh and Panchkula to Solan, Kasauli and Shimla, carrying both daily commuter traffic and year-round tourist movement.  

This stretch of NH-5 is different from the PR-7 corridor and the Bharatmala Pariyojana network that serve the Zirakpur-Mohali-Panchkula belt. The Marq's connectivity story is built instead around the historic Kalka-Shimla highway and its ongoing widening works, which continue to improve travel time between the Tricity and the Kasauli hills.
