According to sources, the IT capital of the country is about to witness the tallest skyscraper in South India that rises to 161 meters above ground level. This Bangalore skyline is launched by the Golden Gate properties in Yeshwantpur.

Bangalore, the IT hub of India is well known for luxury villas and bungalows throughout the city along with developing townships. Although the real estate market is booming, unlike other metro cities, there are not much skyscrapers in Bangalore. To change the trend, the south based real estate builder will launch the tallest building, Presidential Tower in the western suburb of Yeshwantpur, Bangalore. This tall building is touted to be the tallest skyscraper in south India, which will top the high-rise building list by pushing seven other skyline buildings in India. The construction work of this 1 million sq ft residential project is expected to begin in a couple of months. This residential tower will be taller than Vijay Mallaya’s UB tower measuring 128 mts tall and Mantri developer’s Mantri Pinnacle towering 153 mts.

Sources say that Bangalore city has restrictions in constructing high rise buildings due to various reasons; one such reason is the proximity of airport to the central business district (CBD). The HAL airport has to issue the no objection certificate on height limits around 20 kms radius from the airport for the high rise buildings. Most of the business and IT hubs fall under this radius, thus it is difficult to construct high rise buildings in the city. Industry insiders said that the skyscrapers will work if there is a great view from the top floors or if the project has luxury or premium apartments. High rise apartments are preferred in coastal areas with beach view rather than on the commercial business locations like Bangalore.
