:cheers:

so this is like a shorter section of world one?

World Crest is behind the second tallest building which looks to be 80-90 floors?

Yup India101, i suppose its the smallest in terms of height of all the 3.....

First being "World One" - 117F
Second "To be Known" 80-90F
Third "World Crest" 57F

Hmm so this is what simba was talking about..

Dont get what these guys are up to.. They launch World One as a super luxury- exclusive project and the next one they are coming up with schemes like pay 10% now only etc etc............. are they having issues with sale??

Wow the skyline (artist impression) looks awesome, I like all three designs, it will look stunning.

Just what I was going to say, the skyline does look impressive with the addition of these two buildings. I guess this was the missing factor. Just need some more cluster. Will look amazing.

I hate to say this but once the 720m monster India Tower is complete it will totally ruin the skyline :lol: All the other buildings will look miniscule in comparison.

May be it will lead to more taller buildings then.

the skyline wont look like that pic anyways. there will be loads of supertalls in that view - indiabulls, dlf, palais royale, orchid, etc etc

Can anyone add other supertalls in this image, so that we get a holistic view of the future skyline, say 2015-16.

+1!!! I'd be great someone can pull this off...dust off those photoshop DVDs people!!! :lol:

Beaumondes already looking tiny next to World towers!!!!

There are tons of super talls coming up in that stretch- Dont think there will be even a mm of empty space in that image 6 years from now. Starting from Indiabulls 3 towers, Orchid crown 3 towers, Orbit 1, DLF 3 towers, Lodha 3.. going into DB 2 at Mahalaxmi, MInerva by Lokhandwala at Mahalaxmi and lastly Orchid heights.. That complete stretch will be etched with super talls..

^^ all residential?

Can you super impose their renderings in the image above? :)

thats going to be one tedious task superimposing all under construction.

but the Dadar to Tardeo/Jacobs circle stretch will have a nice cluster, thats for sure.



MM is right in the sense that the 720M tower is going to stick out like a sore thumb.

Yup hopefully by 2015 it will be more glassy.

^^ all residential?
Hey- yup residential for the most part.. Currently the tallest commercial is around 38 I think around there.. so .. The dicey part will be- Not sure whose view is actually going to remain as promised?? Very few.. That too just very high floors.

Yup hopefully by 2015 it will be more glassy.- Yup- Its Manhatten in the making.. ( wishfull thinking but thats where its headed- maybe at a smaller scale)

wow, and thats all in the space between Mahalaxmi and Parel. Barely 3 km!

Absolutely.. Will look real pretty from a distance.. Up close and when you are actually amidst those lanes Im not sure what it will be like.. Hopefully the infrastructure will be able to support all the additional cars on those streets.

Some tidbits on World Crest. Good to see its still on...


New nomenclature for super-built area
MUMBAI: The super-built area is now being given a new nomenclature ___ usable area. While earlier super-built up actually resulted in a diminished carpet area, the two are now being actively shown separately by builders.

The change in name has happened because of the government's insistence on the sale agreement clearly specifying the carpet area and the super built-up area. Last month the BMC also issued a circular to its officers in the Building Proposals department to incorporate the provisions of the Maharashtra Ownership Flats (Reguation of the promotion of construction, sale management and transfer) Act regarding sale of flats on carpet area in the Intimation of Disapproval (IOD) issued to builders seeking permission for building construction. Builders have to submit a registered undertaking that they will sell tenements/flats on carpet area basis only.

Carpet area is now confined to the four walls of the house or habitable area. Everything outside the home now constitutes super-built up including the balcony, terrace deck, passageway, flower beds, lift area, entrance lobby, club-house and in some cases even open spaces.

The space that constitutes super-built or usable area is also increasing. Till recently super-built up was in the range of 40-50%. It has now increased to as high as 60-80%. The trend has been set in the mill area where over 5,000 super-luxury flats are under construction.

Gone are the days when a 1,000 sq feet flat actually meant a carpet area of 600 sq feet. Now the buyer knows that when he is buying a 1,000 sq feet flat, he is getting the same. And the super-built up component is the non-habitable area.

Indiabulls that has a couple of projects in the mill land area is charging 60% as super built-up area. Gagan Banga, CEO, Indiabulls Financial Services said they are keeping in line with the market trends. "We are selling a commodity and it comes as a package. It is no longer just a flat that buyers are looking for. They are looking for amenities like a terrace deck, club-house, swimming pool, joggers track, garden, children's play area etc. All this costs money and they are willing to pay for it,'' said Banga.


He pointed out that the deals were all very transparent as the buyer was clearly told how much is the carpet area and how much is the usable area adding,"Some of the developers are charging as high as 80% as super-built up.''

Sanjay Sanghvi, a real estate broker and investor said the super-built up area on an average was between 45-50% but recently it had been raised to 60%. The latest increase is between 60 to 80% in the mill-area where super-luxury flats are being constructed, he added.

Asked about Lodha's charging 80% of the carpet area as super-built up for their World Crest project at Worli, Abhisheck Lodha, Managing Director Lodha Builders, strongly denied it saying, "We charge only on the height of the building and it is between 24-31%. the maximum we have charged is 32% for Bellissimo,'' he said. Ali Lokhandwala, director Lokhandwala Infrastructure, who too is said to charge 80% of the carpet area as super-built up said his company did not charge more than 25% of the carpet area as usable area.

"The super-built up area cannot be wished away as buyers now demand more and more amenities and not just a flat. Besides, there are so many regulations and requirements that have to be fulfilled,'' he said.

Lodha said buyers should be charged on the basis of the floor space index consumed rather than carpet and super built-up area. "The buyer will then know exactly how much he is paying for,'' he said.

In Pune, he said, builders have a pact whereby they do not charge more than 35% of the carpet area as super-built up. "Here it is the competition that ensures regulation as we clearly tell our buyers how much area constitutes super built-up in our projects as well as in those of our competitors,'' he added.

Sunil Mantri, president, Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry, said there was no way they could make builders sell flats on carpet area. "What we do insist upon is that the builder must specify the carpet area that is being sold in the sale agreement,'' he said.
