Vijay Mallya's Whitehouse in Sky!


BANGALORE: Vijay Mallya's dream home is almost coming into reality as more plans have been revealed about the whitehouse in sky by Mallya. The building is all set to be the most prestigious landmark in Bangaluru. Kingfisher Towers-Residences at UB city will be the new home of India's flamboyant business tycoon, Vijay Mallya and many other billionaires under the roof. 

The building will have 34 store's high and will have a penthouse at the rooftop. The penthouse is not available for sale and is reserved for Mallya family. Also this adds to the fact that Vijay Mallya will be the only person in the city who will be having 1 acre of land above the ground in sky in the city!

The tower will have around 82 apartments which are split across three blocks and of this 72 will be available and for sale. Among the apartments that are for sale, 30 will be set for Mallya's and rest will be for prestige. The remaining 10 unsold units will be split among Mallya family. 

There are five points of entry to the apartments, but to begin with, only two will be used. While the millionaire residents will be using the Kasturba Road Cross entry, Mallya has a separate entry from Vittal Mallya Road, which incidentally, is the same entry as that of his old house. The separate entry, which is adorned on one side by a 39,000 sqft private garden, leads Mallya to his personal lobby, a home-office, and a private lift to the penthouse. Each of the other apartments is 8,000 sqft and begins at Rs 20 crore.

The apartments begin only from the 5th floor, and as one goes higher, the price increases. The first four floors, along with two floors in the basement, have been reserved for car parking. While each resident would be getting around 3- 5 car parks, Mallya gets to have a car park area that can accommodate around 100 cars. Mallya will also have a designated area where he will be showcasing his collection of vintage cars. 

TOI has learnt that while Prestige have sold out their share of the apartments, Mallya has just begun the process of selling. Kingfisher Towers might well be the only apartment building in Bangalore, where maids would get their own personal lift and lobby area, which would lead in to their private living quarters. 

The luxury project has a 6,000-sqft clubhouse and garden on the 5th floor, a similar sized swimming pool area on the 10th floor, a badminton court on the 15th floor, and party hall and terrace garden on the 25th floor. There is also a 25,000-sqft common garden area for residents that is situated along the entry. 

Situated on the 33rd and 34th floors of the building, Mallya's penthouse sits on one-acre, which is supported by the three blocks 32 storeys high. The penthouse, split in two levels, will have a built-up area of around 40,000 sqft, and would boast a wine cellar, an indoor heated pool, an outdoor infinity pool, a gym, a salon and a spa, to name a few. The roof of the penthouse will have a helipad and, of course, the stars above.
