An 18‑floor apartment tower in Bengaluru, found to be significantly tilting, will be demolished within weeks. The builder plans to rebuild the 49‑unit structure in two years, delaying buyers’ move‑in dates.
The 18‑floor residential tower, located on a busy Bengaluru road, was issued an occupancy certificate only three months ago. Subsequent structural assessments revealed a significant tilt, raising safety concerns for residents and neighboring buildings.
In response, the developer announced plans to demolish the entire tower and reconstruct the 49‑unit complex within a two‑year timeframe. The demolition is expected to commence shortly, with authorities overseeing the process to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Buyers of the affected units will face extended waiting periods, as the new construction will replace the existing structure. The local municipal authorities are reviewing the original occupancy certificate and conducting safety checks on adjacent properties to prevent any potential hazards.
