Two elegantly built complexes have been erected at Mont Fleuri to facilitate business expansion now that more space has been made available to cater for new initiatives and open new doors of opportunity for young entrepreneurs.

One of the buildings is a three-storey commercial and residential complex  promoted by the Hissen Van Hoi family which is situated next to MPS supermarket. Besides the families, who are now occupying its eight apartments on the first and second floors, the building also houses on its ground floor a spare parts and accessories shop, Top Speed, run by a young entrepreneur with 10 years of experience in the spare parts business.

Packed with various items that could attract drivers, mechanics, painters, engineers and even fish lovers, Top Speed is poised to make a name for itself at Mont Fleuri. Besides selling seat covers, lights for vehicles, Top Speed also designs number plates for vehicles as well as signs to suit various requirements.

Also on the ground floor is an interesting boutique selling various items ranging from household products to sophisticated wears which is run by the Hissen Van Hoi family members. The family will also open another shop on the same floor soon.

The Hissen Van Hoi building was constructed by Herman Maria Company and took about two years to complete.

Further down, next to the Jivan Complex, is another residential and commercial complex with a fresh name, Shreeji Mansion. The three-storey mansion with attic was promoted by Shreeji Investment Company Ltd and constructed by Shreeji Construction Pty Ltd. True to its name, the building resembles a luxurious house and is now the home of families who had taken up the 12 apartments of one and two bedrooms on the first and second floors. Shreeji Mansion houses on its ground floor the Laxmi Furniture showroom which, albeit its Indian sounding name, deals principally in the making of furniture using local materials. 

The furniture is made at Shreeji's Construction's workshop and Laxmi also welcomes orders from clients.

Mr Keshra Bhudia, the director of Shreeji Construction, said that since the opening of the showroom, public response had been positive.

"We are happy that our clients are impressed and interested in the items we make and this further encourages us to push ahead with plans to make maximum use of local materials to produce 'Made in Seychelles' furniture," Mr Bhudia told Business Nation.

Mr Bhudia noted that Mont Fleuri was gradually expanding into a potential town-like hub for business, especially with the erection of other buildings which would eventually provide more space for commercial growth.

According to him, it is necessary for business promoters to start eyeing other potential areas for development outside Victoria, since the town was itself getting a bit too crowded with infrastructure and had little parking space.

Shreeji Mansion itself offers a spacious parking area.
