Technopark continues to expand its office infrastructure as demand for workspace within its campuses grows. The technology park has invited e tenders for a new prefabricated IT office building at its Phase III campus in Thiruvananthapuram. The project will add approximately 2 lakh sq ft of built-up area across a 1.5-acre plot, with prefabricated construction expected to help bring the facility into operation faster.
The proposed building will be developed through a design and build contract covering engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning. Technopark is seeking reputed developers to undertake the complete project, from initial design to the final commissioning of the facility.
The project has a contract period of 15 months. A pre bid meeting is scheduled for October 23 at Park Centre in Technopark Phase I, where prospective bidders can discuss the tender requirements. Developers shortlisted in the first stage will also be required to present their execution strategies to a Technical Evaluation Committee comprising internal representatives and external domain experts.
The foundation stone ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, with the Minister for Industries and IT expected to lead the event.
Prefabricated technology is expected to support Technopark's expansion in several ways:
The new facility reflects Technopark's approach to expanding office capacity through prefabricated construction, with completion planned within the 15-month contract period.
The proposed Phase III building will add approximately 2 lakh sq ft to Technopark's office infrastructure. Its location within the 1.5-acre campus allocation will create more space for companies looking to establish or expand their operations within the technology park.
The project's progress will depend on the tendering process, developer selection and execution within the stipulated 15-month contract period. If the schedule is maintained, the prefabricated facility could strengthen Technopark's capacity to accommodate businesses seeking office space in Thiruvananthapuram.
