But one project is going ahead with the expansion plan, bucking the trend. ITC Welcomgroup has quietly begun work on the second phase of ITC Sonar. “Construction has commenced on the 30-storey tower that will house 450-500 rooms. When complete, ITC Sonar will be one of the largest properties in the country, offering nearly 700 rooms,” said Ranvir Bhandari, who has been associated with ITC Sonar since inception.

The second phase, pegged at around Rs 800 crore, will take the total investment in the hotel property opposite Science City to beyond the Rs 1,000-crore mark. In the first phase, ITC had pumped in Rs 275 crore to create the property.

A 30 storey hotel on EMBP will look awesome.

Three hotels — Hilton, JW Marriott and Holiday Inn — have been shelved. Another — The Park — is on a go-slow mode. Liquidity crunch in the real estate sector following the economic meltdown and negative business sentiment in the wake of Tata Motors Nano project pullout and flux in the political scenario, halted the progression of EM Bypass into a hospitality expressway.

It is doubtful that the move out of Tata Nano or the political scene in WB has got anything to do with the abandonment of several hotel projects on EMBP.

By the middle of 2012, there will two hotels having 30+ floors.

Its great for Kolkata where almost all hotels remained under 10 floors till recently.

It would be great if a recent photo of the construction site is posted here.

ToI reports that Hyatt is going to build their 2nd hotel in Kolkata and land has already been allotted to them. Hope this time they are planning something tall..

Quote:

The list of wannabe investors is long. The Hyatt group has just been given six acres for their second five-star hotel. Anik Industries has also got five acres for a three-star hotel. “We have also provided land to Ohio Heart Clinic,” the housing minister said. Promoted by a group of Indian cardiologists based in Ohio (US), the Rs 80-crore project involves setting up a 200-bed hospital at New Town. Land has also been allotted for the Kohli Management University.

Upcoming projects at NEW TOWN

+ Hyatt’s second five-star hotel + Ohio Heart Clinic + Anik Industries’ hotel + NBCC housing project + HSCL housing project + EPI housing project + Kohli Management University

great news.
2-3 years back I saw an interview on NDTV (or may be CNN IBN, dun remember correctly).
the reporter asked the director of Hyatt hotels that the only property letting you down was Hyatt Calcutta. That time he had said he is quiet upbeat about the business sentiment in the city and plan to open up a second hotel in some time. guess its materializing now
