The complex will have residential, commercial and corporate areas and NBCC will execute the project. The Sanjay Lake will also be adopted and rejuvenated by it, Kumar said.

It will have mixed land-use development projects like old-age homes, recreational, sports, residential and commercial facilities, among others, Kumar said.
