UB City, Bangalore - Destination for the Luxury and Super Rich

You agree or not, like it or not, Bangalore is the most sought after destination for global financial and retail giants. We review one of the most exclusive properties of Bangalore located in the heart of city on Vittal Mallya Road, the UB City, named after a business house, United Breweries (UB Group). UB City, BangaloreMr. Vijay Mallya, Chairman of UB group has the same charisma as Donald Trump and UB City is his dream project. UB City sprawls over a campus of 7 acres of which a third of it is reserved for landscaped gardens. Just like the Central Park located close to 5th Avenue in NY, UB City is a block away from the lush green Cubbon Park in Bangalore. It is rumored that background checks about solvency and status of the occupants of UB City was conducted before the properties were sold. UB Group will shift all its corporate offices to this tower on your left, "UB Tower". The Chairman ofcourse has his luxurious penthouse which is a closely guarded secret. The splendid tower to your right is the "Concorde". The lower floors of this tower will be destination for retailers and the upper floors reserved for corporate offices. This tower on your left, is the "Canberra". Once again lower floors are reserved for retailers and upper floors are marked for commercial office space. The magnificent building(below) is the "Comet" and in line with Mallya's reputation of Rich and Famous, will host Marriott International, Luxurious Serviced Apartments, High-End retail stores and a worldclass pub. Comet also has a Helipad :-) UB City is expected to open for business in Q2-2007 and when completed will become the most prestigious business district in Bangalore leaving the MG and Brigades behind. If you still don't have the prestigious UB City on your visiting card, then I am afraid, it's too late to hunt for properties in UB City as it was sold out in 2004. You might want to explore other properties in the super rich neighborhood of "Vittal Mallya Road". Properties on Vittal Mallya, MG and Brigade road are free from the earthquake zone as reported by researchers of IISc.
