Bangalore Airport City Update and Pictures


As the Bangalore Airport nears completion, we wanted to highlight some other development occurring around the Airport. This area is generally referred to as Airport City, but we believe the site is the genesis of a new Bangalore. Why a new Bangalore you ask? Because “old Bangalore” simply can’t support modern infrastructure without extremely expensive improvements. It’s much less expensive and easier to develop new infrastructure from scratch than to rebuild an entire city full of old Infrastructure.


We recognize the process of moving old Bangalore to New Bangalore will take decades, but the stake is being place in the proverbial ground now. Below we highlight the latest renderings from the BIAL Airport website

Bangalore Airport City Downtown Area





Technology Area



Airport Hotel by the Oberoi Group



The Airport City Downtown area will consist of retail, urban entertainment, office buildings, and hospitality facilities. It will also have metro station once the Bangalore metro network is linked to the Airport. New companies moving to India may want to consider a location here in the next 5 years. Currently there is little quality housing around the area, but in the future, this will be the power corridor for Bangalore business.

WHATS WITH THE MEDIOCRE DESIGNS FOR BANGALORE, BE IT THE AIRPORT OR THE HOTEL?. WE NEED TO FORM AN APPROVAL DEPARTMENT STAFFED BY THE BEST ARCHITECTS TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT KEEP HAPPENING. IT SEEMS TO BE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO RUIN EVERYTHING IN BANGALORE. ATLEAST OUR ENGINEERS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB OF DESIGNING THE METRO-ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SPACIOUS. WE SOUTH INDIANS MUST THINK BIG!.
