The projects envisioned by the HiLite Group, aimed at bringing international standards of quality and amenities to India, have always been wholeheartedly embraced by consumers. With a three-decade-long legacy in the real estate sector, HiLite Group pioneered the mall culture in Kerala. Whenever a new project is conceived, the brand focuses on regional development, customer satisfaction, and the trust that HiLite builds through its work.
Innovative ideas and world-class services have enabled HiLite Group to become one of South India's most exceptional and trusted real estate companies within three decades. Today, HiLite Group leads the sector by providing a highly satisfying, premium-quality experience to customers in the construction of commercial and residential buildings.
The Group's Chairman, P.

This recognition was bestowed in view of his expertise in taking on challenges and executing them flawlessly. Within three decades, the HiLite brand has also succeeded in transforming the state's real estate sector unforgettably.
HiLite Malls
HiLite Group has been constructing malls in various parts of the state with the aim of introducing the international shopping festival experience to Kerala. The group implements its new projects by categorizing areas into major cities, mid-sized cities, and small towns. As part of this strategy, HiLite Malls currently stand tall in the cities of Kozhikode and Thrissur.
Following this success, commercial buildings under the name 'HiLite Centre' are being constructed in the mid-sized cities of Kerala. Catering to smaller towns, the first 'HiLite Countryside' mall has commenced operations in the heart of Chemmad, a rapidly developing town in the Malappuram district. Five such malls are currently operational in the state, and the construction of five more is underway. These malls will bring the amenities and shopping experiences of major cities to mid-sized cities and small towns, propelling these regions onto a path of rapid development.
HiLite Group, which has introduced innovative concepts in the residential and commercial construction sector, pioneered the mall culture in Kerala with the Focus Mall built in Kozhikode city. Following the massive success of this venture, they built the magnificent HiLite Mall in Kozhikode city, featuring expansive spaces and ultra-modern amenities. The World Trade Center is HiLite Group's newest project, which stands as the largest World Trade Center in the world.
HiLite Mall in Kozhikode operates as part of HiLite City, an integrated township project. HiLite City features a business park, over two thousand apartments, a premium co-working space called 'The Workbook', Elenine Women’s Care Hospital, and numerous other amenities. A campus of The White School from the HiLite Group is also coming up soon. In 2016, HiLite City received the 'Construction World Architects and Builders' award for one of the most notable construction projects in India, marking yet another recognition of HiLite Group's excellence. Prior to this, the Business Park at HiLite City received the 'ICI Award' in 2014 for the best commercial complex in the building construction category. HiLite City is the largest mixed-use development in the country.

Palaxi has been providing a magical cinematic experience never before seen by Keralites. Through EPIQ, moviegoers experience the premium large format of QUBE Cinema, a leader in India's entertainment sector. Palaxi Cinemas Calicut is an eight-screen theater complex.

Hug a Mug
The Hug a Mug brand offers customers a world-class cafe experience. In a very short span, the 24-hour Hug a Mug outlet at HiLite City was wholeheartedly embraced by the youth.

The Hug a Mug outlet opened at Kozhikode Beach in March 2024 holds the distinction of being the largest cafe in Kerala.
