Coimbatore-based Pricol Property Development Limited and Pune-based Vascon Engineers Limited have teamed up to promote a joint venture company to build a hotel and residential-cum-commercial complex.On the infrastructure side, the six-laning of Avanashi Road from Uppilipalayam flyover to L&T bypass is under way. According to CII officials, the State government and the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation are committed to the implementation of the Rs.3,800-crore package, under the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewable Mission, for improving civic amenities in the city.
