I really like the first pic! The Imperial of to lonely. We need a 50 and a 55 floor close by.

ITs high time that these Fiat taxi's should be stopped on mumbai roads...Look at the bumper, its not even aligned properly, its falling apart...
We need Limos to ply on these roads.......

How I wish Quadros knew Internet and this forum!!!

We've talked about the taxis a zillion times.

Wait, LIMOS in Bombay???? I hope those disgusting American inventions never hit Bombay's roads. EVER.

how are limos disgusting? Just because poor ppl can't afford it doesn't make it disgusting. The Indian PM travels in one and by making fun of it your are making fun of the Indian PM and that deserves some ass spanking in an Indian jail.

I have asked the same question before.

The building is next to the Prabhadevi MTNL House as seen on Google Earth

Maybe Bombay Boy can identify?

^^Is Ruby Mills u/c? Could it be it?

i have seen that building, but i really dont know whats the name or the builder. the number of new ones coming up is ridiculous. visited a friend who lives on the 30th floor in tardeo where we could see all around bombay and was amazed at the number of new buildings we couldnt identify, even from just 2 years back

he started it..and his comments weren't deleted unlike mine.

and as far as respect goes...everyone yearns it from me. I would be surprised if it worked the other way around.

well calcutta-usa obviously does it because he thinks its amusing. which it was at first. now its just banal and bordering on sad, like navjot sidhu

Why is a patch of the expressway left unmarked by lanes?

Well some of us did think it was sarcastically amusing initially but most people didn't. Now I think very few people find his posts/sarcasm amusing. They are mostly irritating. If he wants to irritate people on a virtual world, then the best thing is all forumers should simply stop replying to his posts.

they are there, behind the yellow railings on the right

then those people walking on the roads should be labeled jaywalkers and fined a hefty 500 Rps.

btw, i love that stick building.

That a nice building in that pic

We need a 40 - 35 story tower between Beaumonde and Raheja Legend!

Well it has been said at the outset that Beaumonde buildings are 150 mts in height when these were announced. If that's so, then how would we place Rahaja Legend and RNA Mirage??

Can anyone identify that tower?

Hmm...how could we not no such a big project that seem to be almost topped out?

Oh is it?Shame .she run outta money?
Fullilly enough SD's director Danny Boyle said he read shantaram as the inspiration for how he wanted his film to feel.No, no thats wrong .He read 'maximum city'.Even though its based on Q & A

Its here on 9th jan .The yanks have already had it the buggers.

How do they mow the lawns in India? Any machinery like Lawn Mowers, tractors, rollers used?

No. We have more ecofriendly alternatives. This bifunctional lawn mowing system mows the grass and gives instant manure for the grass to regrow.

Kinda looks like a scene seen from the Empire State building..... I am stressing again and again on lane widths and proper lane markings... the zebra crossing needs to be repainted... phew.. the list goes on and on.

AWesome Pictures KB...

looks nice...

That parking lot needs an overhaul. JEEZZZZZZz

most unruly parking lot i have ever seen. wheres the civic sense?

i just hope that its a city parking lot managed by parking lot attendees who have full pledged control over the parker's cars. If not, then its a menace that Bombay needs to go about fixing soon.

bhayya agar civic sense hoti, to fir aaj bambai main traffic jam itna nahi hota.... this is the situation in entire country...

Angrez chale gaye.. aulaad chhod gaye..

I knew that the subject of "unruly parking" would be raised. The guys who manage parking lots like the one above (bang in the middle of busy commercial areas) make use of every bit of available space, and although it seems unruly and disorganised, there is a sense of order in the organised chaos.

Amazing pictures KB. Diggin the restoration on those heritage structures. Too bad Watson's Hotel is still so decrepit

Fixed :)

^^
Yes, something must be done about it soon!
They seem to have got a hold on the cast iron framework, but have left the exterior of the Watson badly maintained, and in urgent need of a major restoration.

although this building looks a little odd from far away because of its top heavy structure, up close its beautiful. I bet the residential apartments here will top Rs. 5-6 crore.

Too bad Watson's Hotel is still so decrepit

Its an outrage to let such a building decay!

Found something interesting from Wikipedia:

After Watson's death, the hotel lost its popularity to the Taj Mahal Hotel. In the 1960s the hotel was closed and sold to a private owner. It was subdivided and partitioned into small cubicles with independent access and let out on rent. Over the years, apathy toward the building by the residents has resulted the building decaying; and is now in a dilapidated state. The atrium was subsequently used as a dumping ground and has several illegal constructions. The building currently has 53 families and 97 commercial establishments. Most of the commercial establishments are chambers of lawyers attached to the adjacent Bombay Civil & Session Courts and to the nearby Bombay High Court.[1][2]

Then that means Imperial is no were near finished if the cranes are still in the background?

From some of the pictures of the Imperial Towers, looks like one of the towers has almost topped out...

Uh! yuck. All those buildings need a freash coat of paint or should be taken down and rebuilt.

erm, i think painting them might be the better proposition

Depends on how old the pics are, some of the buildings are getting the once over by looking at the scaffold on the rear buildings but saying that there could be many improvements made to Cuffe Parade by making a better water frontage as well and perhaps even a Marina?

Well it would... but some of those buildings must be 60 years old and with the monsoon every year...mold grows all over them:ohno:.

Hi
I just wanted to put in my two cents about Monsoons, Mold and Mildew(the dreaded 3M Corporation).

From what I have been seeing, many of the buildings in Mumbai, in all India for that matter, are quite elegant, clean and modern on the inside. However, the exteriors all have that sorry run-down slum-like look because of the 3M's. Has there been any effort to come up with any innovative solutions for the problem? I understand that all glass-clad structures are not efficient for a hot, tropical climate either so it would make sense for some type of solution.

Also the older structures like Monuments and those great Bombay Chawls seem hopelessly lost in grime, dust and disrepair. Improving and highlighting the great designs of the chawls and marketplaces would certainly help with business and tourism. However, in thread after thread, I see the same thing. Has the idea of Civic responsibilities and Urban aesthetics reached India? Or are the businesses struggling to stay afloat and perhaps can't afford to improve?

I don't mean to sound negative, its a constructive question. Sorry if the topic has been discussed before !!!!

Apart from the reasons you mentioned above i have noticed other things too which contribute to ugliness of mumbai ( rest the india falls in this too) building exteriors. That is lack of maintenance and flower pots.
Once constructed a building exterior rarely gets maintenance, no painting, no repairs , no nothing.
on top of that people love to put flower pots on the balconeys and water them in their boredom. The excessive water seeps down and makes rest of the building below them very dirty. I was surprized why no body noticed that , what happened to common sense people. i have seen nice buildings with dirty muddy marks from flower pot watering and no one seems to care about it.
I am not saying do it for others but please keep the exterior of your building clean so the price of your own property will stay high.

Mano ya na mano, kuchh building main bhi dirty politics hai. Many people want to become secretaries and eat the building's maintenance money. So a lot of them are refrained from getting a new coat of paint.

It just needs revamp. They can make it into something spectacular.

four seaons is probably the only building which is upto international standarsds.
