Mangalore is the chief port city and a commercial-industrial-educational hub of the Indian state of Karnataka.

Contents

Mangalore city is getting many skyscrapers, including some of the tallest in Southern India. It is developing like Mumbai and Dubai of Southern India, in terms of skyscrapers and high-rises. It is located about 350 kilometres (220 mi) west of the state capital, Bengaluru. Mangalore, formerly a quiet coastal town, is now evolving into a vibrant and significant city in South India. It is becoming an economic powerhouse in South India due to increasing commercial, industrial activities and development. With Mangalore's booming IT and startup ecosystems, the Karnataka government has designated it as the "Silicon Beach of India".

Mangalore lies between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghat mountain ranges, and is the administrative headquarters of the Dakshina Kannada (formerly South Canara) district in south western Karnataka. With its pristine beaches, broad roads and calm localities this coastal city was declared the eighth cleanest city in India in 2010. Mangalore is one of the biggest commercial-industrial hubs in Southern India. It is the richest city in Karnataka after Bengaluru. Mangalore ranked India's 13th place in top business destination and Karnataka's second after Bengaluru. [1]

Overview

Mangalore has been making rapid progress in the real estate industry, especially when it comes to tall and luxurious buildings. Contrary to the all-Indian trend of skyscrapers coming up only in highly populated Metropolitan cities and their neighbourhoods, this not-so-populous city in Karnataka also seems to have jumped into the fray. Mangalore has over 30 completed and topped out buildings taller than 20 floors. A few more are already under construction, and many more are in the pipeline. The skyline of the city has undergone many changes in the past decade, and is all set to change drastically in the coming years.

Bhandary Vertica (58 storeys) and Westline Signature (54 storeys), two under-construction skyscrapers in Kadri and Nanthoor, in the city, respectively, are poised to be the tallest towers in Karnataka. Most of the present high-rises in the city are concentrated around the central business district and also in the Kadri-Bejai region. The Kadri-Bejai belt is turning out to be the "Manhattan of Mangalore", with a lot of highrises being constructed and planned in the region. The present skyline of Mangalore is extensively likened to that of Mumbai in the 1980s.

Another interesting fact about the highrises of Mangalore is that all buildings with 18 or more floors (or 60 or more meters in height) have a helipad, complying with the safety norms set by the local administration. However, the building K2 (with 20 floors) does not have a helipad, since it was constructed before this rule was formed. However, the requirement has changed recently, as service floors are being used as an alternative for helipads.
