Built by Brigade Group who obtained the WTCA license for its construction, the building became the second World Trade Center in India after the one in Mumbai.[1] At 128 m, the WTCB was the tallest commercial building in south India from 2010 till 2015[2] and the tallest building in Bangalore between 2010 and 2013.[3] The building is part of an integrated enclave called "Brigade Gateway", along with Orion Mall, Manipal Hospital, Sheraton Hotel, Brigade School and Brigade Gateway Apartments.[4]
