Bengaluru’s massive 250-meter tall Skydeck likely to be built near NICE road
The 250-meter tall Skydeck will be a major tourist attraction in Bengaluru. It is likely to be built near Bengaluru’s NICE road.
Earlier, authorities had considered three locations for the construction of the Skydeck project – Hemmigepura , the Jnana Bharathi campus and Kommaghatta.
Karnataka deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar revealed that the 250-meter Skydeck is likely to be constructed near Bengaluru’s NICE road. He also said that this Skydeck will be a major tourist attraction in Bengaluru.
DK Shivakumar told media persons, “The Skydeck is one of the major projects that draws tourists to Bengaluru. The massive structure requires 25 acres of land. We are planning to construct it near NICE road as all Bengaluru MLAs have agreed to it. The exact location is yet to be finalized.”
He further said that presently the land is with NICE road promoters. “The Supreme Court said that NICE road promoters are supposed to transfer 200 acres to the Karnataka government. So the exact location will also be finalised soon,” he added.
Out of the three locations selected for the construction of the Skydeck project, namely, Hemmigepura (near NICE road), the Jnana Bharathi campus and Kommaghatta, the 25-acre site in Hemmigepura, currently managed by NICE, reportedly was approved by the state cabinet members as it offers a panoramic view of the Turahalli Forest. It is also conveniently located near the NICE Road, with the Thalaghattapura Metro station about five kilometers away.
However, there are reports that this 250-meter Skydeck might affect the second airport that will likely be built in Bengaluru in the near future. Civil aviation reportedly objected to a few locations proposed by the state government for a massive sky deck project.
