If you’ve been following the rapid growth along NH-24, you’ll know that this stretch between Delhi and Meerut is no longer just a highway – it’s becoming a hub of activity. And right in the middle of all this development is Karyan Square, a commercial project in Wave City, Ghaziabad, that’s getting a lot of attention from both shoppers and businesses.

I’ve visited the area a few times, and one thing is clear: this is not just another glass building with shops. It’s been planned to mix everyday convenience with leisure, which is why it has both modern retail spaces and a well-designed food court. Let’s talk about why it stands out.

Location – the first big win

In retail, location really does most of the heavy lifting. Karyan Square is right on NH-24, which means visibility is not a problem. Thousands of vehicles pass daily, and with the Delhi-Meerut Expressway making travel faster, people from Noida, Delhi, and even Meerut can reach here without much hassle.

The surrounding area is equally promising. Wave City itself has a large residential population and more housing projects under construction. When people move in, they need shops, cafes, and places to hang out – and that’s exactly the kind of demand Karyan Square is ready for.

Retail spaces that work for different businesses

Not all commercial projects make it easy for brands to operate. Some have narrow passages, poor lighting, or awkward layouts. Karyan Square avoids these mistakes. The shops have wide frontage, the walkways are spacious, and there’s good visibility from multiple angles.

Whether you’re running a fashion store, electronics outlet, bakery, or a service-based business, you can find a space that fits. The design also ensures people don’t just crowd around one corner – the flow is natural, and every shop has a fair chance to attract customers.

Food court – more than just a corner with chairs

I’ve seen a lot of so-called “food courts” that are nothing more than a small section with two or three outlets. Karyan Square NH-24 takes it seriously. The food court here has room for multiple food brands and seating that can handle peak hours without feeling cramped.

It’s not limited to fast food chains either. There’s provision for cafes, casual dining restaurants, and even terrace seating for those who like an open-air vibe in the evenings. If you’re in the F&B business, this kind of setup is gold because it’s easier to attract repeat customers when the experience is comfortable.

Facilities that make a difference

Customers today expect more than just shops. They want the entire experience to be smooth – from parking to security to cleanliness. Karyan Square checks these boxes:

  • Multi-level parking so people aren’t circling the block.
  • Power backup so no one is shopping in the dark or waiting for lifts.
  • CCTV and guards to keep the place secure.
  • Escalators and elevators that actually work and are well-placed.

For shop owners and restaurant operators, these things matter because they directly impact customer satisfaction – and by extension, sales.

Footfall – where it will come from

Right now, there’s already steady traffic from nearby residents and people traveling along NH-24. But the real growth in footfall will come as more housing projects in Wave City are completed. A lot of families prefer having retail and dining options close by rather than driving into Delhi or Noida every weekend.

Plus, office spaces in and around the area mean you’ll also get a weekday lunch crowd. For a retailer or food brand, this combination of daily local traffic and weekend leisure visitors is a strong mix.

Why it works as an investment

Commercial property is always a long-term game. You’re looking at both rental income and property value appreciation. Karyan Square scores well on both counts because it’s RERA-approved, built by a known developer, and part of a fast-developing township.

Retail properties in locations like this – right on a major expressway, with a growing local population – tend to hold value even in slower markets. Add the fact that a busy food court helps drive traffic to nearby shops, and you’ve got a setup that’s hard to beat.

How it compares with other nearby options

Wave City has other projects like Karyan Citywalk and Avenue IV. They each have their strengths – Citywalk is more high-street style, Avenue IV is more mixed-use – but Karyan Square finds a sweet spot in between. It’s modern, compact enough to manage easily, but still big enough to draw a crowd.

If you’re a food brand, the dedicated food court is a major plus. If you’re a retailer, the clean layout and steady residential growth nearby make it a smart bet.

The takeaway

Karyan Square is not trying to be everything to everyone. It’s focused on doing two things well: giving retailers a functional, visible space to operate, and giving food businesses a lively, well-equipped place to run. Its location on NH-24, supported by Wave City’s growth, means it’s in the right place at the right time.

Whether you’re thinking of opening a shop, starting a restaurant, or simply investing for rental returns, it’s worth a serious look. In a few years, when this part of Ghaziabad is even more developed, spaces like these are going to be in high demand.
