Thought the project was envisaged a decade ago with the state cabinet clearing it in 2006, acquiring land has been the major stumbling block. In fact, major property development firm DLF had bagged the development rights in 2009. But it was only in 2015 that BMRDA decided to resurrect the venture. The Chief Minister, in this year’s budget, had declared assembling a separate planning authority for this project.  With the initial estimated cost around 15,000 to 20,000 crore with an office space of 2 million square feet, the master plan will declare the exact cost of this project.

Ingenious compensation models are being identified as the share of private land (6,336 acres) is huge compared to that of government land (2,198 acres). KG Gollarapalya, Aralalasandra, Byramangala, Bannigiri, Kanchugaranahalli, Kanchugaranahalli Kaval, Kempaiyyanapalya, Mandlahalli are some of the villages where the project is expected to come up.
