Q City is a 150,000 sqm commercial precinct of two buildings in Hyderabad's largest technology corridor, developed to meet the growing demand of India's burgeoning tech industry.

With floor plates ranging from 2,000 to 8,000 sqm, the precinct was designed to attract major global occupants, including Microsoft's largest workplace outside the United States.

The site presented significant technical complexity. Deep sheet rock excavation delivered two levels of 20,000 sqm basement immediately adjacent to live residential communities and a major active occupant, mitigated through a site-sensitive design response and carefully considered excavation methodology. Above ground, the superstructure features extensive semi-unitised glazing systems engineered to withstand the significant wind pressures of the region's dry arid climate.

As Development Manager, Anna led the project across all stages of delivery, with the precinct successfully sold to an occupant-owner on completion. The project was recognised internationally, winning the CNBC Asia Pacific Award for Best Commercial Development India in 2009.
