World Trade Centre Kolkata Takes Shape in Sector V

Kolkata’s commercial skyline is steadily evolving, and one of the city’s most ambitious business developments is now visibly taking shape. The World Trade Centre (WTC) Kolkata, coming up in Salt Lake Sector V, is progressing steadily and promises to redefine the city’s position as a global business destination.

Spread across approximately 11.04 acres, the massive mixed-use integrated development is expected to become one of the largest commercial projects in eastern India. Located in the heart of Kolkata’s IT and business district, the project is designed to bring together premium office spaces, retail experiences, hospitality, and lifestyle infrastructure within one ecosystem.

The flagship first phase of the project, Tower 1, developed by Merlin Group, features 2 basement levels, a ground floor, and 21 upper floors (2B+G+21). The tower is already becoming a visible addition to the Sector V skyline, reflecting the pace of construction and the scale of the development.

Once completed, the World Trade Centre Kolkata will feature a total built-up area of nearly 50 lakh square feet, making it a landmark commercial hub for the city.

A significant portion of the project, approximately 27 to 35 lakh square feet, has been allocated for premium office spaces, aimed at attracting global corporations, technology firms, startups, and multinational companies looking to establish a presence in eastern India.

Beyond office infrastructure, the development will also include around 2.5 lakh to 3 lakh square feet of retail and lifestyle space, expected to house shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences for professionals and visitors.

Adding to its premium appeal, the project will also feature a five-star business hotel under the Anantara brand, spanning nearly 2 lakh square feet, catering to business travelers and international guests.

With Sector V already emerging as Bengal’s technology and innovation hub, projects like WTC Kolkata are expected to strengthen the region’s business ecosystem, improve infrastructure, and boost investment opportunities.

As construction progresses, the World Trade Centre Kolkata is shaping up to be more than just a commercial complex — it represents Kolkata’s growing ambition to position itself as a modern business and investment destination on the global map.
