Let’s see what the unique features of this skydeck would be:

• This landmark structure, which would be the tallest viewing tower in the country, will be designed by an architectural firm Coop Himmelb(l)au.
• It is interesting to note that the plan has a strong commitment to sustainability and integrates solar panels to harness renewable energy.
• Envisioned as a multifaceted destination, the skydeck will not only offer breathtaking panoramic views but also cater to a diverse range of recreational and entertainment needs.
• Anticipated amenities include a vibrant shopping arcade, an assortment of restaurants, a state-of-the-art theater, and a serene sky garden at the base.
• Meanwhile, the upper levels are set to accommodate a variety of attractions, including a roller-coaster station, an expansive exhibition hall, a sophisticated sky lobby, and an exclusive VIP area, all complemented by an upscale restaurant and bar.
• With such a comprehensive layout, the skydeck is poised to redefine the skyline of Bengaluru while catering to the diverse interests of visitors from far and wide.

       It might be reacalled that last year, Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar, who is also the Bengaluru Development Minister, emphasized the significance of assessing the project’s financial feasibility and pinpointed             the need for 8-10 acres of prime land within the heart of Bengaluru for the implementation of this innovative structure.
