Bengaluru, often referred to as the technology capital of India, [1] is experiencing a significant boom in high-rise construction. [2] [3] The city has emerged as one of the fastest-growing cities globally, [4] attracting a highly skilled workforce from across the country seeking employment and business opportunities. This rapid urban growth has led to a sustained demand for both residential and commercial real estate, prompting a shift towards vertical development. [2]
The tallest building in Bengaluru is the CNTC Presidential Tower, which topped out in early 2023. Standing at 161 metres (528 ft) with 50 floors, it is also the tallest building in the state of Karnataka and was the 11th-tallest in South India at the time of its completion. [5] The tallest commercial building is the World Trade Center, which was completed in 2010 and rises to 128 metres (420 ft) with 32 floors. [6]
Other notable high-rises in the city include UB Tower, Mantri DSK Pinnacle, and Phoenix One Bangalore West. [7] [8] Among the tallest skyscrapers currently under construction are the four towers of Codename Peaklife project, each projected to reach a height of 231 metres (758 ft).[ citation needed ]
The first high-rise building in Bengaluru over 100 metres (328 ft) was the Public Utility Building on M.G. Road. [9] Standing at 106 metres (348 ft) with 25 floors, it was the tallest building in India at the time of its completion in 1973 before being surpassed by the World Trade Centre Mumbai in 1974. The Public Utility Building was only the second building in India to surpass a height of 100 metres (328 ft) and remained a dominant feature of Bengaluru's skyline for decades. The building housed offices, retail outlets, and a hotel, and served as an early example of vertical mixed-use development in the country. [10]
Bengaluru's ascent as a technology centre began in the 1980s and 1990s with the establishment of major IT parks like Electronic City and Whitefield. [11] [1] Early high-rises were limited, primarily low-rise and mid-rise office buildings, due to regulatory constraints and proximity to the HAL Airport, which was located in the heart of the city and served as the city's only airport until 2008. [12]
The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) and the newly-formed Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) relaxed the floor area ratio (FAR) norms in the 2000s, particularly in newly planned zones like the Outer Ring Road and North Bengaluru. [13] Moreover, with the inauguration of the Kempegowda International Airport in 2008 and cessation of commercial flight operation at the HAL Airport in May 2008, the height restrictions in several parts of the city were relaxed. [12] This resulted in a surge of mid-rise construction across both residential and commercial use. The late 2000s witnessed the completion of several iconic high-rises like the Canberra Tower, Concorde Tower, and UB Tower, all of which were completed within the UB City complex in 2008. [14] At 123 metres (404 ft) in height, UB Tower surpassed the Public Utility Building, which had remained the tallest building in Bengaluru for 35 years.
The completion of the World Trade Center in 2010 (128m, 32 floors) signaled strong momentum towards vertical development in the city. The UB Tower and the World Trade Center were among the first glass-clad high-rises in the city and set a design template for subsequent development. [6] A combination of soaring demand, scarcity of land within key business districts, and rising office prices accelerated construction of high-rise buildings. [15] Mantri DSK Pinnacle, which was also the tallest building in South India when it topped out in 2013 at 153 metres (502 ft), marked Bengaluru's entry into the skyscraper era. [16] [17]
Several residential and mixed-use mega projects are under construction in emerging suburbs along transit corridors and satellite towns. [18] As of 2025, over 1,500 [19] high-rise buildings dot the metropolitan region, and that number continues to grow, signifying the city's sustained push toward vertical expansion.
This list ranks buildings in Bengaluru that stand at least 100 metres (328 ft) or 30 floors from the ground. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. Only completed buildings and under-construction buildings that have been topped out are included.
