Brigade Group expands Kerala footprint with WTC, Brigade Square launch | Company News
Bengaluru-based Brigade Group has strengthened its presence in Kerala with the opening of the World Trade Center (WTC) and Brigade Square in Thiruvananthapuram, deepening its play in the state’s commercial real estate market.
Located in Technopark Phase I in Kazhakootam, WTC is positioned as a major office development aimed at attracting global users. The tower is designed to consist of 20 floors, including the ground floor and four basement floors, and to function as an integrated business centre. 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 talent centers (GCCs).
Apart from WTC, the developer has also launched Brigade Square, a 1.85 lakh sq ft IT office building located near Technopark’s Park Centre. The project is expected to meet the growing demand from technology companies and allied sectors seeking Class A office space in the region.
“Our commitment to Kerala stems from the state’s exceptional talent pool and its emerging potential as a primary growth engine for South India. By bringing world-class landmarks such as the World Trade Center to Thiruvananthapuram and expanding our presence in Kochi, we are creating a sustainable ecosystem that will attract global investment and redefine the state’s industrial landscape for decades to come,” said MR Jaishankar, Chief Executive Officer, Brigade Enterprises.
“WTC will be an iconic building that will enhance the Technopark ecosystem. We also plan to expand 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 at WTC Kochi,” Jaishankar added.
Sandip Kumar, IAS, CEO of Technopark, said: “The city has good connectivity and talent pool for companies to thrive and Technopark offers a lot of opportunities with availability of land and space. Also, the new IT Policy will outline incentives for the sector. The issue of land shortage in Infopark Kochi can be resolved with changes in the policy.”
Reflecting this perspective, WTC Chairman Hrishikesh Nair outlined the Group’s broader roadmap for expanding its IT infrastructure in Thiruvananthapuram. He said the planned developments aim to create a comprehensive ecosystem that can attract and support global companies looking to establish and grow their presence in Kerala.
