BANGALORE: The Greater Bangalore Corporation would soon have a multi-storeyed tower housing all its offices on its NR square premises.

The building to be called Palike Tower was being contemplated for the past three years and the present budget proposes to take it up under a joint venture.

Commissioner K Jairaj said that the tower would be built by a developer at no cost to BBMP which would get about 30 years lease of a portion of the building. There won't be any sharing of ownership like in Divyashree Chambers.

The budget also proposed to take up reconstruction of flats for economically weaker sections in Eijipura under a joint venture along with a commercial complex.

Palike would also set up an Institute of Urban Management on the premises of Urban Health Research Centre in Vyalikaval.
