Look at the construction in the background and that big skyline. Never seen from this view. Thats because you see marine lines / worli / bandra / powai most of the time. suburbs are highly underrated here . 10-12 floor towers are in abundance all over mumbai !

The 8th photo is great shot of Parel with Worli next to it too with its towers as well as the skyline in the background. Jai June 18th, 2006, 04:32 PM I guess it could be Nextgen Era.

I like the last pic also as you can see SD Towers rising as well the cluster of buildings in Worli side. Is that the Beamonde towers coming up in the second pic from last? I think it is as the 3rd tower has only begun/given permission to build? Thet are coming on well. Nirmal Lifestyles Mall is awesome too!

Is that a new residential building? Needs painting. What is that pylon doing in the middle of the road next to the Mall????? That is so dangerous. I mean the electro-static energy emitting from that! Or what if a car or bus hit it in an accident. Bombay Boy July 10th, 2006, 01:20 PM its at andher-link road. that pylon was there much before the mall or indeed most of that road came up. they should take steps to bury the lines there now that there is development around it, though since its a main line it might be quite expensive. overhead wires look ugly Cov Boy July 10th, 2006, 01:23 PM Shockwave - please post any pics of Mumbai as they will be welcome.

Residential buildings don't look as good as the commercial ones. Even the commercial highrises in Mumbai look like the residential ones. It's just an observation. Mumbai has a big collection of highrises though. Such a huge city!! Good question that has been asked by so many. But there is no definitive answer. Building a new commercial skyscraper will be a political hot potato with the battalion of environmentalists and socialists opposing new construction. Maybe it is more profitable to build residential highrises. Maybe companies prefer midrise buildings. Nariman point has no space and Bandra Kurla is next to the airport. The faulty planning of socilaist Indian planners who were very afraid of growth of cities.

So commercial development was discouraged for a long time. residential buildings are made up of flats that are sold outright and the builder is out of there after having made a tidy sum, so it justifies more flats per plot (i.e. higher buildings). office buildings are usually owned by the builder and he rents/leases out space, which then come under our archaic rent/lease laws. this is not profitable enough to justify the higher construction costs and also there are no incentives for higher office buildings from the government nor any zoning laws for high-rise areas also high rise flats are sought after for their view, fresh air, less noise, etc. with flats in higher floors going at a premium. most people who rent offices mostly care about costs. so a cheap low-rise is quite acceptable Suncity July 21st, 2006, 07:25 AM Thakur Village, Kandivali http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/8131/kandivalimumbaidnahy8.jpg Atria Mall (the vinatge taxis and scooter give the picture an interesting look!) http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5074/atriamalldnaix0.jpg shockw4ve July 21st, 2006, 10:56 AM Good question that has been asked by so many.
