When completed, UB cITy will house the Group offices under one roof - UB Tower. 'Concorde' & 'Canberra' will have retail space on the lower floors and office space in the higher levels, while 'Comet' will have serviced apartments. It will house commercial offices, banks, high-end retail stores, a five star hotel, serviced apartments, restaurants, food courts, pubs, health clubs and cafes. Multi-level parking areas will offer virtually unlimited parking spaces. Also on the blueprint is an amphitheatre with food courts and landscaped gardens. UB cITy will provide parking space for over 1,100 cars. Being an environment friendly project and keeping in mind the green surroundings of Cubbon Park, one-third of the space has been earmarked for landscaped gardens.

UB cITy, UBHL's joint venture with the Prestige Group of Bangalore, is making rapid progress and will change the skyline of Bangalore in less than two years. The site is bustling with men, equipment, cement and steel and each day brings about a noticeable change in each of the four towers.

In order to ensure that traffic within UB cITy's sprawling seven acres and within it's vicinity is properly regulated, a traffic consultant has been specially hired.

The general outline of UB Tower is now clearly evident and nearly twelve floors of this majestic tower would be ready by the end of this year. Did you realise that the other three towers are all named after aircraft...and all beginning with the same alphabet...Comet,Canberra and Concorde. UBHL's proposed foray into aviation should not be all that surprising!

The east lift core of Canberra is nearly complete by using the novel slip form method and with it's twin at the western edge of the building, it provides a breathtaking expanse of this building which will have the largest floor plate within UB cITy.

The second slab of Concorde has been cast and this uniquely designed tower is also expected to be ready by 2006.

The entire project team has been sensitive to the needs of the neighbouring residential areas and all construction work is stopped after 11 pm.

An excellent scale model is now available at the Project Office in the UB cITy site which gives an excellent understanding of this massive project.
