Skydeck project: Country’s tallest observation tower will soon rise in Bengaluru, DyCM DKS reveals
Bengaluru: In the heart of Bengaluru's soaring skyline, the city is poised to welcome the tallest observation tower in the country. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who also oversees the Bengaluru Urban Development portfolio, shared a glimpse of this impressive project on the micro-blogging platform 'X' (formerly Twitter).
Revealing further details about the project he stated on ‘X’, “Reviewed the proposed Bengaluru Skydeck project plan, conceptualized by COOP HIMMELB(L)AU of Austria in association with the World Design Organisation (WDO), and which if implemented will be the highest viewing tower in the country."
“Directed the officials to assess the financial viability of the project in addition to identifying a suitable piece of 8-10 acres of land for its execution,” the post further read.
According to internet sources, at present, Bengaluru is home to approximately 1300 high rise buildings, ranking it as the third tallest city in the Indian subcontinent.
ಆಸ್ಟ್ರೀಯಾ ಮೂಲದ COOP HIMMELB(L)AU ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯು ವರ್ಲ್ಡ್ ಡಿಸೈನ್ ಆರ್ಗನೈಸೇಶನ್ ಸಹಕಾರದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲು ಉದ್ದೇಶಿಸಿರುವ ಸ್ಕೈ ಡೆಸ್ಕ್ ಯೋಜನೆಯನ್ನು ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಿದೆ. ಇದು ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾದ ನಂತರ ದೇಶದಲ್ಲೇ ಅತಿ ಎತ್ತರದ ವೀಕ್ಷಣಾ ಗೋಪುರ ಎನ್ನುವ ಕೀರ್ತಿಗೆ ಪಾತ್ರವಾಗಲಿದೆ.
