Bengaluru Plans 250-Metre Skydeck in Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout
A 250-metre-high skydeck is planned on a 46.25-acre site in West Bengaluru's Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout, envisioned as a major tourism and recreation destination with restaurants and event spaces. The Bangalore Development Authority has appointed KPMG as transaction adviser, paying Rs 4 crore for its services. The project, described as a flagship initiative of Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, faces a land ownership dispute involving a five-acre parcel granted to a welfare association in 2010. Alternative sites were dropped due to aviation height restrictions.
