World Trade Center Opens in Bangalore

A non-stop dedicated elevator takes one to the 29th floor of Brigade Gateway's commercial development, claimed to be Bangalore's tallest structure. The helipad at the top of the building, which is 128 metre (430 ft) tall, affords a 360-degree unobstructed view of the city. But what makes this commercial tower different from other office buildings is the licence which it holds. The licence to be branded a World Trade Centre (WTC).

Real estate developer Brigade Group has obtained the licence from the World Trade Centres Association to classify and manage its 1.1-million-sq-ft Brigade North Star, part of the 40-acre mixed-use Brigade Gateway development, as the “World Trade Centre Bangalore”. And it is the value of the WTC brand that the company hopes to leverage in the coming months.

The Bangalore WTC is the second such centre in India, coming after a good 40 years since the first in Mumbai. There can be only one WTC in each economic region.

The WTC would give those having offices in this complex the opportunity to meet, exhibit and network with global businesses and other WTCA members.

“It will provide services such as trade information, global networking with WTC clubs, exhibit facilities, consulting services, administrative support, export/import assistance, teleconferencing facilities, translation/interpretation, trade missions, trade policy research etc,” he said. There are about 317 such centres in 92 countries.

“It will take six months for the World Trade Centre to be operational. We hope to be operational by the first quarter of 2011,
