BANGALORE: How about a honeymoon in space? That too just 100km from Bangalore!
The honeymooner space luxury would be available in various categories, three star to six star hotels. All this would be a reality once the ambitious Space City materializes.
The journey for the Space City began on Saturday, with the state governments high-level clearance committee on investments, headed by chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, giving its in-principle approval.
Set to come up on a sprawling 1,600 acres at a whopping Rs 18,500 crore investment at Bagepalli in Chickballapur district, it will be the first of its kind in the country. The project promoter is Marib Infrastructure India Private Limited, a joint venture of Abu Dhabi and Malaysian firms. Sheik Sultan Bin Mohd Bin Khalid Al Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabis royal family and one of the main promoters of Marib Group, is expected to arrive in Bangalore by next month-end for project consultations with the state government.
The Space City focuses on boosting real estate, hotels and hospitality, leisure and tourism sectors. It will have UFOs, galaxy-shaped shuttle station, a virtual museum and star hotels.
It will be a state-of-the-art multi-functional educational, entertainment project focusing on science, technology, innovation, art, design, ecology and entertainment among others. The project combines unique, futuristic themed and varied project components. It will have science and technology park, exhibition centres, malls and media-linked events. Besides, the project will fill the space for the real estate needs.
The project, which is expected to provide employment to 20,000 people, has been planned to be pollution-free. Once a person enters the city, he will have to travel around either by monorail or electric cars.
Land acquisition and water would be the two challenges for the project. However, as it is a dry area, land wouldnt be a problem. The government has suggested to the project promoter to go in for rainwater harvesting, zero discharge and utilization of treated water.
