Is highrise the answer to Bangalore’s housing problem ?

Considering the fact that highrises offer 80-85% more open space and greenery in comparison to regular or low rise buildings, sanctioning of such an order will be a boon for the homebuyers.

With the growth of income and influx of a large number of people in urban areas, thanks to the IT/Ites sector, demand for housing has been gearing for an upswing. Rising construction cost and non-availability of land at desired locations make such highrise buildings a de rigueur for homebuyers. Such apartments offer numerous benefits such as back-up power supply, round-the-clock security, childrens’ play area and car parking facilities

Did the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited agreed to the proposal?

HAL has revert back with the idea and is keeping the proposal under consideration. However, news from various sources confirm that officials of HAL do not find it a feasible idea to increase the height of the radar. HAL further corroborates that the present safe-height regulation is highly conservative, in regard to the improvements made in the field of aviation.

According to Credai, the sole objective for the “highrise” move was to delegate the homebuyers with more areas and open space. Given the fact that Delhi and Mumbai airports too have given a nod to highrise developments, HAL is also expected to deliver a solution which will not change the midcourse of their take-off and landing regulations.

Consisting demand for allowing construction of multi-storey buildings and highrise in the locality of HAL airport has what triggered the need for government to seek the permission to increase the height. Beefing up of the existing radar height by even 1.5 mts will contribute significantly towards signal clearance of the radar and will zoom up the construction of multi-storey buildings, by putting to use the permissible FSI.

Mounting up of the radar height by 1.5 mts. would lead to developments in CBD make the most of additional height of up to 75 mts or 25 floor. According to property consultants, since the IT hub of the nation has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few decades, it called for enhancement and upgradation of infrastructure by numerous government agencies. Typically, the urban development agencies in Bangalore have raised the bar limit for FSI for the construction of highrise buildings in the city.

In a move to make Namma metro rise beyond its edges, the Karnataka state government is seeking the aid of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (the operators of HAL airport) to permit the real estate developers go vertical. Located in the heart of the Garden City, HAL airport operators are accountable to issue NOC on height limits to developments stationed at a 5 km(approx.) radius in and around the airport.

Till 2010, the builders were issued with the same old NOC by the AAI (Airport Authority of India), however, things have undergone some serious change in recent times. The government has made a plea to the center, to push up the radar height at HAL airport that would offer a helping hand to the taller buildings to find their presence in central business districts of Bangalore.
