The Bengaluru skydeck project, a potential tourism game-changer, has finally cleared a major hurdle with the selection of a permanent site. After a prolonged search, authorities have chosen a 30-acre plot in Kommaghatta, located behind the Kengeri Satellite Club and bordering NICE Road.
The observation tower, planned to rise 250 meters into the sky, is envisioned as a signature structure on Bengaluru’s skyline. Estimated to cost ₹500 crore, the project promises a 360-degree view of the city and aims to become a top draw for tourists and locals alike.
The chosen site, owned by the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB), offers ample space, scenic surroundings, and good connectivity. A nearby lake enhances its appeal, making it an ideal location for the project.
Bengaluru Smart Infrastructure Limited (BSmile) has been tasked with executing the mega project. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar recently visited the site and instructed departments to begin the formal handover process.
The project was previously considered for several locations, including Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout, Byappanahalli, Hemmigepura, and the Bangalore University campus. However, each location had practical constraints, ranging from statutory clearances to limited accessibility.
With the location now locked in, the skydeck project is set to enter a new phase of planning and development, potentially placing Bengaluru on the global map of urban tourism experiences.
