Actor-businessman Sachiin Joshi opened the gates of his signature property, re-christening the iconic Kingfisher Villa, formerly owned by absconding businessman Vijay Mallya, as King's Mansion in Candolim.
Speaking on the occasion, Joshi stated, "For months now, I have been asked about my plans for the villa. Today is the day I open the gates to the world. The property has been coronated as the ‘King's Mansion' and the future plans have been drawn."
"We had multiple names to dabble, but then the brand connection from ‘Kings Beer' and the inherent grandeur of the property made the choice," said Joshi, who is chairman of Viiking Ventures, which owns ‘King's Beer'.
The Viiking Ventures team have been working on the strategy and plan for ‘King's Mansion', which is spread over 12,350 square feet or three acres at Candolim.
Sachiin added, "We have some interesting plans for the place. But the innate point of anything we do here would be to create an experience like no other. The place would denote class and something that's never been done in India before. You all will have to be a little patient on the same with me, and I promise to make an announcement soon."
Besides the new name, the ‘King's Mansion' features signature touches of the actor-businessman from the main gate to the villas inside. The main entrance now adorns the gold monogram of lions prancing and the massive signage.
