Bengaluru Residential Tower Tilt Leads to Voluntary Demolition and Reconstruction Plans
An 18-storey residential tower in Bengaluru developed a tilt after receiving its Occupancy Certificate, prompting developer SNN Raj Corp to voluntarily seek demolition and reconstruction. The issue arose from an error in soil testing reports, leading to foundation design based on incorrect data. The Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority (KRERA) described the case as unprecedented but confirmed legal provisions allow project extensions to complete reconstruction. The developer plans controlled demolition using diamond wire-cutting technology and has committed to compensating affected homebuyers for delays.
