Under construction in Dadar area if Mumbai, on what previously used to be the site of Kohinoor Mills, Kohinoor Square will be a major mark on the Mumbai skyline, towering 203m over the city. The project was designed by gkkworks (http://www.gkkworks.com/site_map.php).

gkkworks won a design competition for this mixed-use commercial high rise tower in Mumbai, India. The source of inspiration for this design concept is the meaning of the name Kohinoor: mountain of light. Kohinoor is also the name of the largest diamond in the world. The diamond is the ultimate gemstone. It is the hardest substance found in nature, yet the most transparent, with a long history in India. The tower’s design objectives challenge the typical glass office building by the abstract pattern created by diamond geometry and triangulation. The triangular shapes are layered onto the building’s mass and facades, through clearly defined planes and opposites: void and solid, opacity and transparency. The result is a building design that not only has symbolic meaning but creates a unique and powerful presence worthy of the Kohinoor name.

Somebody should see the height (203m) in feets! :lol:

^^Ah, great - 666. Somebody just dialed the Number of the Beast here. (Tower of the Beast in Mumbai (in feet)).

aah.. this one seems great..

Ahh...looks great. Can anyone tell me what the construction status as of now? Has the foundation been laid?

If you look at the last update, you can see thats the core rising.

Thanks. By when is it supposed to be finished?

Very "cutting edge" design. :D

666 ft. ehhhh? Why don't they do like Shanghai and make it 666 meters? :lol:

Very few elements and shape lines on facade but very well positionated, i like it a lot.

_Don_Corelli_:rofl:
^^ "India Tower" is already over 700 meters,I think that is enough for a poor country like India :cheers:
Fuck off troll!
