Brigade Group expands Kerala footprint with WTC, Brigade Square launch | Company News
Bangalore-headquartered Brigade Group has strengthened its presence in Kerala with the launch of World Trade Center (WTC) and Brigade Square in Thiruvananthapuram, strengthening its presence in the state’s commercial real estate market.
The WTC, located at Technopark Phase I in Kazhakootam, is positioned as a renowned office development aimed at attracting global occupiers. The tower will comprise 20 floors, as well as a ground floor and four basement levels, and is designed to function as an integrated business center. Brigade said the project aims to strengthen the capital’s IT ecosystem and increase its attractiveness as an investment destination for multinational companies and global capability centers (GCCs).
Along with the WTC, the developer has also launched Brigade Square, a 1.85 lakh sq ft IT office building located near the Park Center at Technopark. The project is expected to meet growing demand from technology companies and related sectors seeking A-grade office space in the region.
“Our commitment to Kerala is driven by the state’s exceptional talent pool and its emerging potential as a leading growth engine for South India. By bringing world-class landmarks like the World Trade Center to Thiruvananthapuram and expanding our presence in Kochi, we are creating a sustainable ecosystem that will attract global investments and redefine the state’s industrial landscape for decades to come,” said Mr. Jaishankar, Executive Chairman, Brigade Enterprises.
“The WTC will be an iconic building that will enhance the ecosystem of Technopark. We are also planning to expand at Infopark Kochi by adding another tower to the existing WTC, making it a total of one million square feet of IT office space, including the existing operational towers of WTC Kochi,” Jaishankar added.
“The city has good connectivity and talent pool for businesses to thrive and Technopark offers ample opportunities with availability of land and space. Moreover, the new IT policy will define the incentives for the industry. The problem of land shortage in Infopark Kochi can be addressed through policy changes,” said Sandip Kumar, IAS, CEO, Technopark.
Echoing this perspective, Hrishikesh Nair, Chairman, WTC, outlined the group’s broader roadmap for expanding IT infrastructure in Thiruvananthapuram. He said the planned developments aim to create a comprehensive ecosystem capable of attracting and supporting global companies seeking to establish and increase their presence in Kerala.
