The project was approved by the authority in a meeting chaired by then Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar last year.
A senior GMDA official said that the new office will be constructed on a 2-acre plot, at the sector 16 water boosting station adjacent to the NH-48. “The building will house all divisions of the authority. The building will also three storey basement parking for both officials and visitors. The building will house the command and control centre of the authority.
