The upcoming WTC will be an iconic structure, comprising 20 floors, plus ground level and four basements.

Brigade Square Inauguration
On the same day, Brigade Square — a 1.85 lakh sq ft IT building located near Technopark's Park Centre — was inaugurated. The inauguration ceremony was led by Shri Sandip Kumar IAS, CEO of Technopark. Brigade Square adds nearly 1.85 lakh square feet of Grade A office space close to Technopark's Park Centre, positioned to cater to rising demand from technology companies, startups and allied sectors looking for scalable and efficient workspaces in a well connected micro market.
Land Details and Regulatory Context
Brigade Group has signed a lease deed for 4.859 acres of land for a period of 90 years with Electronics Technology Parks for the development of IT infrastructure in Technopark Phase I Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Shri Seeram Sambasiva Rao, IAS, Special Secretary, Department of Electronics & IT, Government of Kerala, attended the ceremony and unveiled the commemorative plaque.
Strategic Vision and Technopark Context
The twin developments are strategically located near Technopark, one of India's largest IT parks, and aim to attract multinational corporations and global capability centres seeking high quality office infrastructure in South India. Designed to serve as a global business hub, the WTC aims to enhance the local IT ecosystem and attract international investment to the capital.
Industry observers note that improved connectivity, policy support and availability of skilled professionals continue to draw corporate occupiers to Thiruvananthapuram. Technopark has added over 21 lakh sq ft of built-up space since 2021–22 and is targeting 40 million sq ft by 2035.
Kazhakkottam Locality and Infrastructure Context
Kazhakkottam serves as Technopark's primary address and has emerged as a major commercial and IT corridor in Thiruvananthapuram over the past decade. The locality benefits from proximity to Kerala's largest technology park, housing multiple IT companies, multinational corporates, and supporting infrastructure. Recent institutional investments in adjacent areas—including retail anchors, research hubs, and hospitality projects—indicate sustained demand for commercial and residential real estate in the micro-market.
Developer and Future Plans
Brigade intends to add another tower to its existing WTC in Infopark Kochi, scaling total IT office space to one million sq ft. Brigade has filed an Expression of Interest to invest ₹1,500 crore in Kerala, targeting residential, commercial, IT office and hospitality assets as part of its medium-term expansion strategy, with focus on leveraging Kerala's urban growth hubs and upcoming infrastructure corridors.
