This building is almost a replica of the DLF centre in Central New Delhi adjacent to the famous Jantar Mantar Park.

R2IChennai: I thought it was well known that a lot of APites / Telugus shop in Chennai (especially T.Nagar area)

Ubermeow: I also felt the same when the building first came up, except IIRC, DLF was whitish and this one (Ispahani Centre) is blue glass.
