The buildings have fancy Italian names like "Bellissimo" but the design and shape are more of the Soviet-era. It prolly should be renamed Lodha-Vladivostokova.

If you are implying that these look like "commie blocks" well then i beg to differ.Bellissimo might not be oozing italianess from everywhere but it has a nice shape especially the "wavy" design plus a respectable amount of glass.

I agree with Avishar....the design is simple, refined and the impact on skyline is quite graceful unlike many candy box compostions one see's sprouting all over the place)

Your comment made me crack-up. Funny guy.

Hey Bud- Yea I think it will block the view from 2 wings of bellisimo

Hey does anyone here have more info on Lokhandwala Minerva. The super luxury tower coming up right in front of bellisimo- 82 floors

Your comment made me crack-up. Funny guy.

:lol:

not the greatest of the pic but anyways the barricading in the front is for lokhandwala's minerva. Also there is a nice commercial building behind bellissimo

Everything built in India is ugly according to this dude and he's fuc**** called a Rat, piss off you ugly cretin and don't come back.
I have seen uglier lego blocks here in the US and bunch more in London. Don't worry, we'll buy out your country out in a few years and build a bunch of ugly ass structures right in the middle of London, then you rats will bow down to your masters; us. :cheers:

Man. Its just his opinion. If he has a negative opinion about everything, that's his problem.

The building is still not finished to call it ugly just yet.

While I agree that India has seen some weird designs, some people just love to stereotype. I am sure they would have criticized the SWFC too had they built it here.

Please post your comments for the Shard on the thread meant for it and not on this thread

ok, ok. We don't need to attack someone based on their opinion of this building.

Though it is too early to start judging this building. It's not even fully T/O or cladded.

Ok. Moving on.... the first tower is completed. This would have been a completed tower if we were still under the perception that Bellissimo is single. But now, thanks to grape wine, it has found a mate and looks like soon they will live happily ever after. :)

I think they are two seperate buildings.

Took this pic a few weeks back

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/3181/bellisimo.jpg

Thanks Avishar for your efforts.

I think they are two seperate buildings.

In a sense they are - but the both would be joined at the top. Making a really wide building.

Looks good now but will look great when the two buildings are connected :cheers:

THIS IS THE UGLIEST AMONG THE NEW BULIDINGS, ONLY IF THEY HAD BUILT FOUR SEPERATE TOWERS INSTEAD OF A GIANT BORING WALL, A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO LIKE IT

How much tall is this building, 225m or 186m?
Here it says 186- http://www.emporis.com/application/?nav=building&lng=3&id=270381

Let the construction finish plus all the cladding, painting, exterior works to pass judgement.

Lets see see what the renderings promised.

If it was a single building, I would have liked it. But now it is only Planet Godrej Part 2.

Nah I like Bellissimo as it has more style & character than Planet G.

Looking better and better as it races for completion and occupation.

Exactly. Dont compare the Bellisimo to the Godrej. This one is far better looking. Let them finish this off.

I think Bellisimo looks pretty cool, however, nope most of the apartments will NOT be facing the sea as Minerva is coming up right in front of it.. So infact in about 4 years Bellisimo will not even be visible from Hajiali at all.. You will just see a part of he A wing.. Rest will be covered..

Nice pictures, mer101.

This tower has been under construction for ever, I think they started more or less at the same time as Sheth Bueamonde which is nearly getting completed and this one there are hardly any updates

What Mills are those in the backgroud? About time they get developed.

That's India United Mills #1. It's going to be converted into a textile museum.

for the price, it looks really mediocre... one has to revisit once all claddings are done... n see if it still looks 90s'ish...

I don`t know guys. Maybe I`m just biased and this is just my opinion but I actually think even though the facade design is very bleak and almost mediocre - that overall the structure makes quite a statement. Simply by virtue of its scale and presence! Its a very powerful looking edifice!!

I think that is One Avighna Park rising in the middle. It has a really good spot in the skyline.

Yup that is 1-Avighna Park. Hey how come Marathon Futurex is not visible or am I missing it somewhere- It looks like its probably 20 floors into the air as well now right?

Marathon Futurex is on the extreme left of the picture, I think they are working on the interior or something.

Right. I see it. I guess they are working on it in phases. It was slated to be 40 storeys high. Hopefully we ll see more info on it as I believe it has a thread here.

Anyone remember Lodha Primero (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1022467), 52 fl? The building we thought was the second wing of Bellissimo has now started rising. You can see it's crane behind Bellissimo (circled) -

Yes it still is.

is the render the same as in the primero first page?or has it changed?

It's exactly the same. Nothing has changed.

gr8 find 101!!!! how did u manage to get that info?

I went to Lodha's website, it has all the same info from last year.

And plus, why would have anything changed. It's not like the project was ever stopped.

I'm not impressed....the end effect of Primero right next to Bellissimo will be a mega wall that rivals the infamous Planet Godrej.
Missed opportunity.

It's not coming up next to Bellissimo, but behind it and facing south. Unlike Bellissimo which faces west.

Better. Thanks for the clarifying that.

True. Making only one structure was enough and it looked stylish. They overdid it, I guess.

I hate new structures made of concrete... india is a tropical country with lot of rain ... these tall concrete buildings will look super ugly after 2-3 years of rain, if not painted and maintained. Glass cladding is a must..

I say keep the race course, and beautify it. Lets not kill Mumbai's rich colonial past. Besides, which city has a race course in the middle of its downtown?

^^ Bangalore does, btw... :smug: There is a lot of talk about removing it from where it is (in Bangalore) since lots of people are eyeing that prime property in the city center.

I agree with you though - let it be where it is.

Even Chennai has!! :smug:

it is owned by MCGM and leased to Royal Western India Turf Club it is home to 5 Indian derby teams and an important landmark in Mahalaxmi rather in whole Mumbai
and according to RWITC website Grandstand off the course is a heritage structure!!!!

I think that they should keep the track but beautify it enormously. It doesnt look very nice currrently.

I think the idea of the a race-course in the midst of south Bombay is hot!! The idea of making it into a central park set up is even better but in this country one needs to be careful coz chances are as soon this goes into complete control of the BMC it may be out the window.. and you`ll see builders vying for patches of land here.. so its better off being in control by a private organisation as is now..

Yup! I guessed this would end up looking great.

I always liked bellissimo & it was worth the wait seeing up close.

You can see some greenery in the corners of the building perhaps trees or trailing plants.

Interesting to see how it will look joined to its twin.

Yeah the up close shots are good. It looks good now.

Nice - Quick question : That curved rooftop looks different from the original render. While the original render shows it spanning the entire Belissimo top surface - in this it looks like it will terminate where its currently at - the other side seems to have tall pillar like structures. Even if they put the curve on the unfinished side - it will rise as opposed to flattening out in the original structure. does that seem accurate?

btw the construction contractor - BE Billimoria (http://www.bebanco.com/ongoing-projects-residential.html#Lodha-Bellissimo) puts the number of floors at 53. Title changed from 50 to 53fl.

It has taken a long time to get completed. But really it is a beautiful building.

Dude keep up!! :) One is DB Turf View and other is The Minerva.

Bellissimo doesn't look to bad. And DB should really drain the Turf View excavation, tha water looks digusting.

Anyway, thanks for the updates Samir!

This monthly mailer on Northeye, Noida gives height of bellissimo as 222m and this info is given by civil contractor of bellissimo itself (B E Billimoria)

I always felt this was more than 200m. But finally we have some confirmation.

Some photos from about a ten days ago.

Really nice finds. I love those giant balconies. In the first pic, I can see that they have laid trellises along the walls and the ceiling of the large balconies. They are aiming for a canopy of greenery, like in the renders, right?

^^ is this some form of cladding or just paint .. looks kind of shiny !!

It's half cladding half paint.

It's half cladding half paint.

...and half sunlight!

this building only looks good once you get close to it and see how they used glass panels for the balconies, and the window details. It's quite an ugly building from far. Good thing the monstrosity will be hidden by another building soon.

This and planet Godrej look like a giant wall.

self-deleted

These are from last week. Never got down to uploading them then.
You can see the Minerva cranes and rehab buildings in front of it.
It looks really nice up close.

Wish they would hurry up and finish the last wing.

Anyway thank you Ashbaggin!

Yeah, I can't wait for it to be done too! Any idea if they are planning to connect the wave/crest things on the roofs of the respective wings?

I dont think so.

Nothing to indicate that they will be joined at the top.

The towers will be seperate however, im just speculating.

Lastest renders can confirm this although they too can be unreliable.
