Bengaluru’s Namma Metro is set to receive a significant infrastructure upgrade with the planned construction of a towering 11-storey commercial complex coupled with a large multi-level parking facility near KR Puram station. This venture is part of a broader strategy aimed at integrating real estate development with urban mobility solutions.

Prime location advantage

The upcoming building will rise just 50 metres away from KR Puram’s new interchange station, which will link the operational Purple Line with the soon-to-be-launched Blue Line (Silk Board–KR Puram–Airport corridor). This proximity promises seamless access for commuters and shoppers alike.

Public-private partnership model

The project will be undertaken by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) on a 1.66-acre parcel (6,730 sq.m) situated near Old Madras Road and the Outer Ring Road. Development will proceed under a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement, with a lease period extending 30 years, ensuring long-term viability and private investment inflow.

Parking expansion and commercial focus

Two basement levels of the structure will cater exclusively to parking requirements, while the remaining floors will house retail outlets, office spaces, and shopping areas. The initiative aims to enhance commuter convenience while stimulating commercial growth.

Parking capacity upgrade

Upon completion:

  • KR Puram station will be equipped to accommodate 1,742 two-wheelers and 556 cars, a significant jump from its current limited capacity.

  • Meanwhile, Majestic station’s parking will expand to support 4,000 two-wheelers and 1,000 cars, making it the metro’s largest parking hub.

    • The project is projected to be finalized by 2027, aligning with the full rollout of the Blue Line.
