The EOI includes plans for Kerala’s second World Trade Center (WTC), following WTC Kochi, along with a luxury island resort in Vaikom and a residential project in Kochi. The projects are expected to be completed by 2030, with government support and regulatory facilitation.

Last month, Brigade signed an MoU with Technopark to develop a 1.5 million sq. ft. WTC in Thiruvananthapuram, while also expanding WTC Kochi with a third tower.

"Kerala remains a key focus for us across commercial, IT office space, hospitality, and residential developments," said Vineet Verma, MD, WTC Trades & Projects, Brigade Group. "With government support, we aim to contribute to the state’s growth in IT, tourism, and real estate."

With nearly four decades in real estate, Brigade has played a pivotal role in Kerala’s development, with WTC Kochi and Four Points by Sheraton standing as key milestones.
