Chatterjee International Center, Commercial high-rise building in Central Business District, India
The Chatterjee International Center is a 91 meter tall office building with 24 floors located on Chowringhee Road in central Kolkata. The structure contains multiple office spaces and commercial areas arranged vertically along this main business thoroughfare.
The building was completed in 1976 and held the title of Kolkata's tallest structure for 32 years until South City took over in 2008. This long tenure reflects the construction techniques and innovation that set it apart when it first appeared in the cityscape.
The building changed how Kolkata approached vertical construction and reshaped the city center's character through its modern form. Local professionals and businesses view it as a landmark that marked Eastern India's transition toward contemporary urban spaces.
The building sits at 33A Jawaharlal Nehru Road with convenient connections to local buses and taxi services throughout central Kolkata. As primarily an office structure, access depends on business purposes and tenant availability during business hours.
It was the first structure in Eastern India to exceed 20 floors, breaking ground for how the region approached tall buildings. This pioneering status made it a symbol of technical capability and modernization ambitions across the region.
