Sharing insights about the project, Shivakumar disclosed, “Reviewed the proposed Bengaluru Skydeck project plan, conceptualized by COOP HIMMELB(L)AU of Austria in association with the World Design Organization (WDO), and which if implemented will be the highest viewing tower in the country.”
Furthermore, he instructed officials to evaluate the project’s financial feasibility and locate a suitable 8-10-acre plot for its construction.
Presently, Bengaluru boasts an impressive skyline dotted with approximately 1300 high-rise buildings, securing its position as the third tallest city in the Indian subcontinent, as per online sources.

The Bengaluru Skydeck is envisioned to not only cater to the city’s growing urban landscape but also to become a significant landmark for tourists and locals alike. With its strategic location in the heart of the city, the observation tower is anticipated to offer visitors an unmatched perspective, allowing them to behold the city’s pulsating life and the picturesque natural landscape beyond.
While the project marks a substantial leap in Bengaluru’s urban infrastructure, it also raises questions about the city’s ever-expanding footprint and the need for sustainable development. As the authorities deliberate on the practicality of the project, concerns about the environmental impact and urban planning have surfaced, prompting discussions about striking a balance between development and preservation.
