A short trip to UB City Bangalore

Last weekend I made a trip to UB City, Bangalore. The trip was much anticipated and pending since quite a long time. Since, the year was nearing Christmas and I was in a nice festive mood, I decided to put all my laziness at bay and make a trip to UB City Bangalore.
Those who don't know much about UB City, Bangalore,  here is a brief overview:

"UB City Bangalore began to define the skyline of Bangalore in year 2007. UB City is the biggest commercial property project of Bangalore pioneered by Dr. Vijay Mallya and is located in the heart of Bangalore. It stands at the corner of Vittal Mallya Road and Kasturba Road, just 600 metres away from Bangalore's commercial hub, M. G. Road. 


A 1.1million sq.feet mixed use development with commercial, luxury retail and serviced apartments, it has bagged the prestigious City Scape India Retail Estate 2007, Best Developer - Mixed Use Award.


All office space in UB City has been leased out to prestigious Indian and multinational clients. "

I had heard a lot about it being a paradise for luxury brands lovers, so I kept my expectations reasonable and meditated a lot to not spend 5000 bucks on a designer T-shirt!! ;-)

It took me around 25 minutes to reach UB City Bangalore, from Koramangla 8^th block. The Building from outside gave me a look of some kind of corporate office, but when I saw the banners and the huge tower that is visible from around 5 KM diameter of the area, I knew that I’d reached the place.

I had to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my trip there. The ambiance inside reminded me of New York’s Grand Central Railway station main interiors. The building is divided in two wings – Left and right, followed by a central staircase and escalators towards the open area around the second floor that has food counters like Subway, Rajdhani, etc. The place was decently decorated of Christmas decorations.

Location : UB City, Sampangirama Nagar, Bangalore

I wanted to take the pics of all the brands adorning the place, but it looked foolish of clicking pics standing in front of all those shops. After all, come on – They were just shops…the only difference was that these were THE SHOPS! :D. So, for people like us, they had this nice display of all the brands and the floors holding them. Check them out:

If any of these brands fascinate you and, you feel like spending some luxury on any of these, feel free to do that!! :D
