Indiabulls Sky (formerly known as Jupiter Mills Tower) -- Parel, Mumbai

Long awaited (by SSC India forumers, anyway) renderings for the promised residential tower at redevelopment of Jupiter Mills, Mumbai (Bombay) by developers Indiabulls Real Estate has finally been released by Chicago-based Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architects:

^ (Indiabulls Sky Tower on left, Elphinstone Mills Tower (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=15925329) on right)

According to the architects:
Indiabulls Sky is a 75-story luxury residential tower in the heart of downtown Mumbai. To maximize views, the tower includes 50 stories of residential condominiums from floors 25-75. The building was designed to a LEED Platinum standard.
The tower will come literally right beside Indiabulls's Elphinstone Mills Tower (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=15925329) (see link for pics and info.)

In one of India's biggest real estate deals, Indiabulls, India's financial services and real estate company, purchased the former Jupiter Mill and adjacent former Elphinstone Mill from India's National Textile Corporation in 2005, to redevelop them into high rise residential, commercial and retail properties.

The former textile mills are located in Mumbai's mill lands, a vast swath of 19th century industrial and textile factories strategically located in central Mumbai. These areas are to form the backbone of Mumbai's Central Business District and command some of the highest real estate prices in the world. This tower is the latest among a slew of skyscraper projects made public in this area of Mumbai.


While still in the final stages of design, the Indiabulls Sky is the latest project reflecting the new trend in Mumbai for organic-looking towers, based on ancient Indian Vaastu Shastra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaastu_Shastra) design.

The size of the tower is significant, likely pushing it to supertall heights. Comparing it to the much more conventionally proportioned 60-storey Elphinstone Mills Tower right next beside it, this 75-storey tower will likely be significantly taller, owing to its unconventional design and tall 'stalk'-like central core. If the rendering is anything to go by, this tower will likely be at least 300 meters tall.

With construction of the Elphinstone Mills tower and other commercial midrises at both plots already underway, we're likely to see the design finalized pretty soon, and if the turnaround time is anything like Indiabulls's other co-located projects, we can expect to see construction start within a years time.


When more news comes on this project, I'll be sure to keep you all updated :cheers:

Cheers,
Jai

PS:
An even higher quality version of the rendering

elphinstone mills tower is great but with jupiter well what could i say it looks terrible

It looks fucking terrible! What were they thinking? :bash:

I hope this abomination never gets built.

what's that???? i really don't like it!!

where is the rest of the building?!

C'mon guys, its not that bad. I'd personally take uniqueness over the architectural norm any day. The Elphinstone tower, while more normal-looking, and thus probably winning a lot more kudos because of it, isn't nearly as innovative a design. It's those buildings that push the boundaries, for good or for bad, that show real spirit of form.

Personally, I'm pleasantly surprised by the design. I'm a sucker for organic architecture anyhow, but if the facade and materials used will be anything like those used in its sister tower at Elphinstone, and they probably will be, this tower will be off the chain.


My only gripe is that blank wall of the core/stalk. I guess if its glassy, it'd look better than just blank material (though aluminum cladding could pull it off.) But, until the design is finalized and better renderings come out, we won't know for sure.

It's a crazy and daring design. I appreciate. :)

Looks disgusting. BAHAHAHAH. Looks unfinished.

To be honest i think it looks great.

that's what i call an great design :okay:, please build it!!

Sorry, but it's damn ugly.

Four letters: U, G, L, Y. The Elphinstone Mills Tower looks much much better...

Completely crazy! Its not a refined design, its more rather ponderous!

never seen so much disapproval for a tower until this one came along but who knows if it does get approved and built it might look awesome after all but seems to me that india or in particular mumbai likes to have unique types of buildings

I like it.
Very unique design.

The tower has a great design and it fits well with Elphinstone Mills Tower.The world needs more crazy towers like this one!

yes, you're absolutely right! the world need more such towers :)

Looks FUGLY. Please don't build it...

hawg damn its beautiful, its one of those buildings that will look terrible in renders but actually in the flesh standing near the base will look so breathetaking.... i think construction pics for this will be fascinating...

Love it!

Looks incredibly futuristic. I can't believe the responses. It's as if no one's ever seen a the core of a building exposed before...EEK!

uc pics

Such polar responses, eh?

I'm the only one who's kinda non-polar
I appreciate that its a futuristic design but I'm a bit conservative I guess
I'm torn between being in love with it and disgusted by it

:lol:

Good that its so tall though

uc pics

did you read the title? it is PROPOSED...that means there are still no UC pics available ^^

The 75fl tower isn't under construction yet (proposed). The 60 fl one on the right is under construction already.

That's nice.

I have one question.

Of the 75 stories of the tower, are all the 75 of em going to be aparmental stories or are some of alloted to parking lots??? just like the Antillia?

^^ indianpride, while you're correct that the 60 Elphinstone Mills tower is u/c, the construction picture above is actually the midrise I referred to also located at Jupiter Mills; a software/IT park designed by architect Hafeez Contractor. This midrise and the two skyscrapers will all be located next to each other.:

Dude, we have no idea. But the rendring does have a several-story podium. According to Indiabulls's plans, the development also includes retail/mall space, as well, though.

Daym!!
you gotta be kidding me!!!
I am not that excited by this structure... but over the top, it looks like an Australian Cricket ground, seriously!!! that was my first reaction!!!

But the other designs on the top of it are quite interesting!!!

I apologize for the confusion Jai. I had no idea that there was another project in that same area.

no need for apology :)

It interesting....

This looks very modern-art(ish)... modern sculpture like. It looks great, it is futuristic, and it is tall... tall enough for the poor people in the poor neighborhoods to be able to see it daily... and remind them how money goes into architecture instead of helping resolve poverty.

Oh please. :|

Skyscrapers built by the free market are there only to make money. Investment into India requires residential and office space in a city where there is very little free of each. It also creates jobs, cash and economic prosperity. This project in particular -- the redevelopment of mills defunct for decades -- will have former millworkers reap rewards in housing, employment and stipends.


This double standard people apply to skyscraper projects in India is incredibly callous and ignorant. Cognitive dissonance at the skyrocketing economic growth.

So please take that pseudo-sanctimonious bullcrap and internet forum crocodile tears and instead invest it in your volunteering or donations to your local homeless shelter. Meanwhile skyscraper and investment projects by investment firms like this one from Indiabulls here will create economic sustainability and jobs for Mumbai's poorest.

I don't agree. Builders can't do nothing about people living in the areas (poor neighborhood) as you said.. It the choice of the people.

The pictures are indeed wonderful but I am just hoping that these buildings do come up in reality!

that building is UGLY! Don't build!!!

This tower is beautiful the dising is excellent:banana:

The desugn of this tower sucks. the toiwer may feature residential units on the 25th through 75th floors, but where are the first 24 floors. It needs to be revised so that these floors can be seen.

so is it possible to change the title of the thread from Proposed to U/C?

By the way, the tower is very original. I am sure if it came up in New York or someplace, most of the nay-sayers would be sitting on the other side.

Kronik,
The construction you see in the pics are from a midrise IT/Software park also being built on the former mill lands. This midrise isn't seen in the rendering of the skyscrapers, as it is by another architect and not technically part of the two resi/office tower project.

The 75-story tower is not u/c yet


never seen so much disapproval for a tower until this one came along but who knows if it does get approved and built it might look awesome after all but seems to me that india or in particular mumbai likes to have unique types of buildings

I think that's a very apt observation. For better or worse (I tend to think toward the former), Mumbai has some very unique looking buildings -- like Miami + Dubai mixed in with some spicy Indian masaala

Cheers,
Jai

Looks like it is trying to emulate the design of a tree.

double post - sorry

I think it's ugly and way too top-heavy looking - bad use of space too - all those gaps could be floor-space, impracticle and ugly.

Absolutely don't like the left tower, Like the right tower :)

One word: Ugly.

Next please!

One word: Ugly.

Next please!

man. I think it might look ugly on paper. But I am really positive for this tower. When it comes up it will look good and I also think that it will go with the development of Bombay.

This might look interesting once built and will possibly attract alot of tourists

By the way, the tower is very original. I am sure if it came up in New York or someplace, most of the nay-sayers would be sitting on the other side.

I echo that.

^^I doubt it look at how many people loathe the Toure Phare in Paris.Ugly is as ugly looks

^^p.s. and also the Calatrava tower proposed in New York-many hate that too,noone's against Mumbai,just "some" of the innovations

^^
You have a non-biased approach :) This country vs. country bickering is happening too frequently, I don't want another one starting here. Sorry for bringing it up.

The design is very bold, would be great if it gets built. :cheers:

:DI like "ugly" buildings and I like this one a lot:Ddespite what I've said before I do hope this gets built

like its organic, unconventional design.

look like a brochette of balconies to me :D

I love this building! It's incredible. Like something from Robotech. My only query would be - is it economically viable? With so much space dedicated to the core how can they ever hope to get their money back from sales?

So, it's basically a 50-story building on top of a 25-story tower? What a waste! Just to keep people further from street-level mundane day-to-day real life! And it's not beautiful!

So shouldn't this thread be titled "under construction"?

its daring, but not in a good way.

It looks fucking terrible! What were they thinking? :bash:

I hope this abomination never gets built.

I agree 100%. This proposal looks absolutely awful. :ohno:

http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7961/02hm2.jpg

The tower on the right looks nice though.

This is unusual, but it isn't sloppy looking like Tour Phare. Not to mention-- hairy...*shudders again*

I must say I'm shocked by the reaction to this building - this tower is so bold and sculptural. I can't wait to see it. What's with skyscraper nerds only wanting to see slim and pointy?

Depending on the materials they pick to use, this could turn out to be a desaister. Or it'll stun the world.

Here's an update on the tower.

SSC India member Indiansunite called up both the developers and the architect and independantly confirmed from both of them that the tower is indeed coming up at Jupiter Mills -- not Elphinstone Mills as was speculated earlier. He also got confirmed from Indiabulls that the tower is not under construction right now.

I also called up Smith + Gill architects last week, spoke to one of the architects and despite my gushing, also managed to get confirmed from him that the tower is a very real proposal, but he directed me to the builders for more information. I will try to get a hold of them next work week.

This is disgusting, put it in Dubai.

once again, govt paused this project because apparantly this company was supposed to rehouse the original inhabitants here but they didn't do so or something

is that gonna be just a huge ass core
or it'll be some areas that something will occupy?

All of the gray part you see in the render is the core, so it's basically just a huge ass core. :)

sure it is only the core, but they'll clad it.....looks like steel in the renders

thanks for clearing it up :dj:
i dunno, it led to some weird feeling of a waste of space then..
but i think the design is somehow off the hook and very interesting indeed...

Wow, I have almost never seen such nearly unanimous negative response to what I think is a very original, and visually intriguing design. What do you guys want? Just a bunch of tasteless boxes that are built a dime-a-dozen? I do admit though, this tower doesn't look like an efficient use of space, but it still looks awesome.

Thinking outside the 'box (http://www.skyscraperpicture.com/hongkong039.jpg)' scares some people. :lol:

I agree, what's with the negativity? This tower is amazing, totally futuristic. Who cares if it wastest space? Sometimes great design isn't about practicality.

The one on the right doesn't seem too bad. The one on the left looks like someone's arm with a bunch of tumors hemmoraging from it.

:ohno:

Since when should we sacrifice originality/aesthetics in architecture in the name of "wasted space"? If this is wasted space, then they should have had heart failure over CCTV. :lol:

crative tower.

When even SSC members think it is ugly, you have a real unique tower. Mumbai should build this!

Are there any more detailed renderings?

Unfortunately, not yet. The builders are currently building lowrise IT park and mall in the same complex that Jupiter Mills and Elphinstone towers will come up in. Once construction has completed, the profits will fund the building of the two towers.

Here's some more confirmation that both Elphinstone (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=24739126) and Jupiter Mills (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=586377) towers are in the pipeline. From this press release (pdf) (http://www.richardscarlberg.com/pdf/indiabulls.pdf):

MARKETING OF ONE OF INDIA’S TALLEST BUILDING AWARDED
TO HOUSTON-BASED RICHARDS/CARLBERG

Agency to Promote Three Projects in Mumbai’s New Central Business District
HOUSTON (August 30, 2007) — Central Mumbai in India is emerging as the
new financial business centre of the fifth most populous metropolitan area in
the world and will soon be home to one of the tallest building in the country – a
luxury condominium. The builder and one of India’s leading real estate
companies, Indiabulls Real Estate Limited (IBREL), has selected Houston-based
Richards/Carlberg as its agency of record to promote the structure along with
two other construction projects in the area. The agency’s responsibilities include
the worldwide advertising and marketing of the complex.


[...]

Richards/Carlberg’s first assignment included the naming of the initial
project – One Indiabulls Centre, which will offer more than 2 million square feet
of office and retail space. The agency currently is developing one of the first
marketing materials which is 20-page fold out color brochure that outlines the
key features of the Centre including its LEED (Leadership in Energy
Environmental Design) gold rating certification; its ease of accessibility by bus,
Indiabulls and Richards/Carlberg
Page 2
taxi, rail and proximity to the airport; its state-of-the-art security with smart card
readers, a monitoring room, alarm systems, fire detection and more; and a host
of amenities like a fitness centre, concierge service and several eateries. Similar
marketing materials will be created for the 60-story commercial office building
and the 75-story condominium, both of which will be certified Platinum Green
Buildings. Creative development for advertising to follow.


Which two buildings are they talking about? Yup:

Maybe Jupiter Mills doesn't look that good now, but probably it will in the years to come. Who knows?

Let's just wait for the tower to get built. For the meantime, let's not be too harsh on this one.

I really like it. Looks like something from a sci-fi movie.

maybe we have to wait 5 years to see it's rising.

Absolutely stunning!!! It breaks with conventional modes of thinking in so many ways. The world needs more daring designs...such as this.

I doesnt look that bad.It looks like came from the future.

Thanks to IU for finding a larger rendering:

Very beautiful with gardens everywhere !

Ok... now with some updates....

The tower has been officially launched. It's official name is "Indiabulls Sky" and will be luxury residential use.

Sweet. It's the Jupiter mills tower since the following article (http://www.theedgesingapore.com/the-daily-edge/business/7181-launch-of-residential-units-at-one-indiabulls-centre.html) mentions 1 IB Centre:

Indiabulls Properties Investment Trust says that the residential units of One Indiabulls Centre will be put up for sale on Aug 23 under the brand name of “Indiabulls Sky”.

One Indiabulls Centre situated at 841 and 882 Balasheth Murudkar Marg in Mumbai, India, comprises a residential component of over 1.4 acres in land area.

Indiabulls Sky is expected to be a 65-storey building with managed private residences. Each unit residence will come with a large private terrace and a plunge pool overlooking the Arabian Sea.

It is close to Four Seasons Hotel, Mahalaxmi Course and the prestigious Willingdon Club.

65 should be the number of habitable floors. The tower itself will have 70+ floors.

So, when the construction begins? Can we move it to other forum?? :banana:

REALLY loved that tower! :happy:

Yes boss and this is one of the coolest tower that's coming up.

So nice that they kept all those trees. Hopefully they'll stay there.

^People love their trees, especially in hot Indian cities :D. Try to cut down trees and you'll see massive protests.

Haa ji mer101. Subsequently they can forward a request to the respective mod. :)


so true.



on the trees, I think the builder will be stupid to cut them down. They increase privacy as well.

Even the planned residential complexes in the suburbs have builders planting big trees now a days to add privacy (and also jack up price)

if you cut their trees they'll cut your redwood!!

It's all well and good to have beautiful buildings etc, but we need to have trees and green as well, good landscaping only adds to the beauty and makes it stand out more.

^People love their trees, especially in hot Indian cities :D. Try to cut down trees and you'll see massive protests.

I'm thrilled to hear that. I can't stand to see massive, old trees chopped down to make way for anything. I love it when they are incorporated in the design :)

So many buildings under construction in that last pic! I count at least 7, maybe even more!

Estimated over 150+ skyscrapers and supertalls coming up in Mumbai!! If you include highrises - God knows how many more are sprouting up. Slums are being cleared - democratically i Might add :D - so Mumbai should be witnessing a sea change come 2018+

Mods, kindly do this.

@ wjfox


Please also edit the first page of this thread, since the plan of the towers have been changed. You may use the following image to reflect the needful changes. Thank You :).

Part of the "Sky" residential development by Indiabulls Real Estate in Parel, the Indiabulls Sky Forest project is coming up on what used to be Jupiter Mills. The project which has been designed by Seattle based Callison architects will consist of 2 towers sitting on top of an 11 storey public parking lot.

That is because the project was initially going to be a supertall, but it was redesigned to a skyscraper. The title was changed but the thread was never moved.
