Standing tall

When the Public Utility Building was getting its final touches, people wondered why the building had grown so tall, as one couldn’t get a glimpse of its uppermost floor even from the road beneath. But that was decades ago when we had no idea of what tall buildings looked like. That’s history now, as tall buildings, even residential, are fast cropping up to enliven the skyline of Bangalore.

The latest to join the tall scene is Jain Heights’ ‘Altura’ on Sarjapur Road in South Bangalore. “South Bangalore Gets a New Landmark,” says a bold claim in the builder’s brochure. Jain Heights & Structures, actively into lifestyle residential buildings, has announced the launch of its landmark residential project, and the structure prides on being the tallest skyscraper to come up in South Bangalore, with 24 storeys.

With easy access to Electronics City, airport and the city centre, Altura encompasses a total of 91 apartments spread over an area of one acre, rising majestically with an elevation inspired by Middle East architecture, and is expected to be complete by March 2010.

Two and three-bedroom apartments here spread over an area ranging from 1200 sq.ft. to 1575 sq.ft. Wooden tile flooring for all bedrooms and designer marble for living and dining rooms form the other features.

270 degree view

Says Kishore Jain, Managing Director, Jain Heights, “Altura offers a spectacular 270 degree view from all apartments which ensures unhindered air flow.

It also provides a host of premium lifestyle amenities, opening doors to 91 families with four apartments on each floor. This new skyscraper will help the Bangalore skyline to resemble that of Singapore or New York.”

Bangalore is witnessing a vertical growth due to increased demand in housing and the IT boom is a major factor responsible for the changing skyline.
