USHERING INTELLIGENT CITY 'UB CITY’
UB City is one of the largest mixed-use development projects in India. It is coming up at the heart of India's IT Capital, Bangalore. United Breweries (Holdings) Ltd, which is one of India’s largest conglomerates, is the promoter. Designed by the eminent architecture firm Thomas Associates, UB City is just 600 meters away from Bangalore's commercial hub, M. G. Road. Its internet ready intelligent buildings will demonstrate how chrome, glass and greenery can seamlessly blend between modern edifices and serene flora. When completed, UB CITY will house the UB Group offices under one roof in the UB Tower. 'Concorde' & 'Canberra' will have retail space on the lower floors and office space in the higher levels, while 'Comet' will have service apartments. The campus 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 amphitheater with food courts and landscaped gardens. UB CITY will provide parking space for over 1,100 cars. The architect has taken enormous efforts to make this landmark project environment friendly. This is evident in the earmarking of one-third of the space for landscaped gardens.
Saint-Gobain’s High Performance Products SGG Dew Drop (ST 150) and SGG Sparkling Ice (ST 167) were used in the facade to achieve the twin functions of abundant light transmission and lower Relative heat gain. These high performance products ensured that the aesthetic and performance requirements are met.
In order to ensure that traffic within UB CITY's sprawling seven acres and is properly regulated, a traffic consultant has been specially hired.
UB City will be just a stone's throw away from Bangalore's best known hotels, clubs, hospitals and amusement centers. The stock exchange, leading banks and government offices will also be within easy reach. Standing tall at the corner of Vittal Mallya Road and Kasturba Road, UB City will definitely be a signature building.
