Not 5 nor 10 nor 15 nor 20 nor 25 nor 30 nor 35 nor 40 BUT....................................!!! 50 Towers !!! u/c

Thats called 'boom town hong kong style.

:banana:Thank you very much Suncity! I mentioned somewhere that we need to construct a separate thread on Unitech projects which is the single largest by its size and investment. That's it. well done. Unitech is also involved in the construction of World Convention Centre and Biswa Banga Shikhar (World Bengal Tower: 41 Floors):cheers:

^^Cool. Looks like a year or so old ?

The towers bordering the second arterial road along the left have risen and construction activity is ongoing at the rosedale site in front of it.

It says March 2008 in the details. But dates can be incorrect.

oh man!!!! that is sooooo Dubaisque :cheers: looks like towers rising to the skies in grassless land. :)

Yeah. This section of Rajarhat would perhaps have the maximum density of high rises in the future. Rosedale (25fl*6) in front of it ,DLF New town ( 9 towers from 17 -31 flrs) , Elita Garden Vista ( towers upto 30 flrs) and the SP Infocity IT park over 50 acres ( which I am guessing should include high rises) are all nearby.

There is no grass only at the construction sites but is present elsewhere (at the moment).:)

Thank you Arijit for the picture. We need some closer views also. Actually I am waiting for the latest picture of Unitech Air. I think the tower should have been reached around 15-16 floors by now.

Looking at the aerial photo (assuming it is 2008) and the layout, it doesn't look like that it has reached beyond foundation.

There is one photo of the site and the building is probably not Air but a building behind the site. Obviously it would be great if someone could confirm.

And a link

http://www.mfarconstructions.org/projects.php?mdl=projects&id=140

^^This was taken in June2008. The second arterial road till SP Infocity was laid a month back.

Dear Suncity,

There is a photo posted by you(photo copyright Debashish) in the "Kolkata Project Update II" vide No.590 dated 05.02.2008 where it was captioned "The 41 storey Unitech Air has started to rise". That time it was about 5/6 floor high. Going by that photo, I thought the building might have reached 15 or 16 floor high as generally 3 floors are constructed in a month and 4 months have elapsed since then.

Was that photo not of Unitech Air? Pl clarify

Dear Suncity,



Was that photo not of Unitech Air? Pl clarify

I am having second thoughts about it (after looking at the aerial photo). I am guessing that the site is this (comparing with the layout plan) and I maybe wrong.

http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/8571/uniworldcityaerialju8.jpg

The signboard may have added to the confusion. That's why I asked for a clarification from anyone who may have visited the site recently and can get an actual confirmation.

Talking of curves , Air should have that perfect curve ( as per the renders):)

Awesome project, guys. Possibly next only to Unitech's own Grande project in Noida is sheer scale and impressiveness. :applause:

Sun, is there any commercial space in this project? I see some large floor plate buildings in the upper-left corner of the layout, next to the signature "Air" Tower. Is that a mall or office space, or possibly mixed-use?

Ajay - According to the website, about 2.5 lakh sqft of retail cum entiretainment space is planned in Uniworld city.

^^ - Thanks, arijeet. Uniworld is basically a residential township with supporting retail space. I think Unitech has a much bigger project coming up somewhere in the area, right?

I was looking for the big IT projects in the area. Hope to see more details of the major ones like DLF and SP. Thanks in advance!

Yes, Unitech is coming up with the largest IT park of Kolkata called Infospace in New Town about 1 km from the residential cluster. It is spread over 50 acres and a part of it is already operational.:)

The first DLF IT park is already operational. The second one is coming up next to Infospace and should be operational by end of next year.

SP Infocity would be spread over 50 acres as well. Construction is yet to start.

^^Nice updates Sun. The Heights towers will stand out in the emerging skyline.
Wonder what is the status of Air

Air?? Arijeet do you mean ventilation? By design it seems to have good ventilation and with those wide expanse of open spaces.

This would be th highest density of towers in a single project in Kolkata, isn't it? or in the whole India??

Air is the name of one of the towers:lol:

Oh ok:lol:

Looks Good

Oh ok:lol:

:lol:At 41 floors Air would be the tallest for Kolkata when complete. It is supposed to be under construction but not sure about the status

Regarding density, with 50 towers ranging from 10 to 41 floors this would be the densest for Kolkata once complete. Perhaps Unitech Grande would be the densest and tallest residential skyline of the country

Can someone please provide information about the status of the Unitech Air?

many many thanks Sun for bringing updates of all the unitech towers into one fold. I had been eagerly waiting to see when it (the Air) becomes a reality. When topped out,(most probably, sometime in the middle of 2010), the Air will be the tallest building in India outside Mumbai.:cheers:

wow!!

simply massive..

Well its good to see that Uniworld city has no been affected by the real estate slump.Thanks for the updates.

Looking good...Air will be stunning (provided its built as per the renders!!!)

Anyone has any pictures or updates for unitech cascades.

unitech has changed the payment plan of cacade and harmony to construction based now. It will provide some relief in terms of interest cost.

The advantage this project had was that it took off at a very opportune time , before the crisis set in BIG time , certainly a city on it's own . I hope the landscaping will be 5 star too as it makes a lot of difference to the appearance.

^^yes, the timing was correct, however there is no update on the 2.5 lakh sqft Unitech mall planned here.

the mall and other facilities are being sold off. nitech is only keeping residential part for itself." news by NDTV"


Forget the mall for next 5 yrs

^^go away. you are a dissenter

^^other facilities like ?

5 malls ( city center, Block by Block, Terminus, Galleria & Axis) are more than enough for Rajarhat even when it is fully complete, so it is not much of a loss

What changes they have made in payment plan ???



unitech has changed the payment plan of cacade and harmony to construction based now. It will provide some relief in terms of interest cost.

they are giving new plan structure to individual clients according to amounts they have already paid.

Its not encouraging seeing the delay and lack of clarity unitech has. The earlier projects have already been delayed for almost 1 1/2 yrs. They are still not in position of providing proper planned work in progress to complete it

you may join the google group for all the updates

bump!

Kolkata31, warm welcome to our forum!

This being an urbanization and development forum rather than a real estate forum, I would not be surprised if we are not well aware of the answers to your questions, hope you find it though.

Hope this will go faster after the rainy season as well as the recession takes a back seat:)

are they going to add a water body to this project?

are they going to add a water body to this project?

^^not the one that you see. A section of the main road leading to Uniworld has water on one side for days, may be they are getting pumped out from somewhere else.

Nice update Suncity....Is the first phase of the project completed????............

I guess this small will be in Uniworld -

Downtown @ Uniworld City

Kolkata, India

Client: Bengal Unitech Universal Ltd.

Forrec’s directive was to master plan and provide detail design for a 10-acre retail, entertainment and commercial development which would act as the ‘Downtown Core’ for an adjoining 100-acre gated high-rise community. The design is evocative of a small city: organized around public squares, streets and plazas that stimulate traffic flow between the retail and entertainment anchors, while offering a variety of active and passive experiences for visitors and residents.

Thank you very much Suncity for bringing the updates on this thread.

As I mentioned earlier also, the "Air" is rising very very slowly. 10 floors a year! If it goes like this, it will take another 25-30 months to touch the 40th floor.

Pl excuse me being pessimist on this count.

Hi

Doesn't look like much progress has been made since the last photo we have.

Yes Suncity. Not a single floor added for the last 117 days!

However, thanks arijeet for the photo.

Now I am eagerly waiting for the speedy progress of westin hotel and urbana NRI project

EDIT: Arijeet, can you please take a pic of the Diamond Tower site?

What is that u/c in the foreground?

EDIT: Arijeet, can you please take a pic of the Diamond Tower site?



What is that u/c in the foreground?

^^In order to get a snap of the proposed Diamond tower at Chowringhee someone has to get access to Tata Center building. The frontage walls are atleast 3m high preventing any view from outside.

The U/C in the foreground are pillars for a flyover or something..they are probably adding two more lanes to the existing 6 lane flyover.

just waiting for the Unitechs and rosedales to complete their projects. the skyline would be worth a watch then :banana:

is there gonna be shops and stuff?
huge developement.
Great pix

^^yes, the Unitech Downtown mall would be part of the 100 acre complex

is the construction of the mall on?

what was the original date of completion of this whole project(uniworld city)....

there's no originality in anything these days man.

I see.

Great forum .. awesome lens work by Arijeetb, Suncity and others...
could anyone post something about the Vistas project.. I booked a flat at tower 9

is the construction of the mall on?

By a glance of it, I thought I saw the site being prepared for construction.

The Unitech Air is now a high end luxo tower,apartments starting from 1.46 cr!

nice. seems this project is finally on the verge of completion. is this BTW the largest residential project in Kolkata or Sukhobrishti is the flag bearer?

Since they are very near to Handover what are the conditions of the approach road?Govt was supposed to make a six lane road upto the project.
And what about water?They depend on tubewells?

Nice pic sun!

good find sun!! looks like 60-70% completion and AIR too has progressed well... i think expected completion will be by somewhere mid-late 2012 :cheers:

Nice pic sun!

Possesion has been given for first two phases, but its as empty as a cremetorium (shoshan'r moton shanti & khali)...only the souls present there are the security guards!!!

Read in the other thread that the road has been made 4 lane till Uniworld.
No sewer or water pipe lines!

HIDCO needs to act very fast to develop that stretch.

^^i guess if everything goes right the street lamps would be having lights, and the houses would be having an external sewerage network, (as every complex that's coming up these days are equiped with seperate, sewerage and storm water drains). Last sunday my friend out of curiosity visited the Infy site, while returning his car broke down near Infospace, he waited there for about 45 mins but dint get a bus, cab or an auto!!!...finally he had to walk down till axis mall!!!...so till these basic facilities are improved in Newtown, Occupancy % at these residential complexes would be low!

I cant say that is handover material yet,the buildings look kind of dull.Also lots left in landscaping.

good find sun!! looks like 60-70% completion and AIR too has progressed well... i think expected completion will be by somewhere mid-late 2012 :cheers:

Actually Air didn't progress much in past 8-10 months..:ohno:

^^ oh my bad!!! you are right lets hope it progresses now

It could be more than 50 towers. Tallest is 40 storeys.

^^52 according to the first post of yours

^^ sid thanks for replying.. but on the first page sun had posted a photo(dated april 2008) from which it looks that it must have have been started in 2006 or 2007

^^oh yes ishmart boy :D
I didn't take that into account.
Just thought the date of creation of the thread was actual start of the project
Am so freaking addicted to SSC now :(

Thanks. Its really a city in itself. I don't know much bout Kolkata but will they find takers for these many buildings. And are they constructing all these buildings at once or phase wise?

Am so freaking addicted to SSC now :(
Maybe you can change your username to SSCaddict-II :banana:

^^Apart from Air rest are nearing completion.
Some are completed and possessions have been handed over.
As far as I know its been sold out.
And you under estimate Kolkata :D

Maybe you can change your username to SSCaddict-II :banana:

naah I hate to be so vocal about it :D

Oh. Thats great. If Im not wrong in India Kolkata is second to Mumbai in terms of highrises and skyscrapers

naah I hate to be so vocal about it :D
im an SSC addict myself :lol:

Oh. Thats great. If Im not wrong in India Kolkata is second to Mumbai in terms of highrises and skyscrapers

thank God someone acknowledged it

thank God someone acknowledged it

nah

second is the city of Thane :P

only joking. yes kolkata is second.



I am very impressed with this project. You look at Lanco in Hyderabad and this and its a totally different situation.

btw is there a plan to link this place to an express-way to the main city??

I think about 10,000-15,000 people will be living in this development

its just off the main arterial road.
apart from that the New Town expressway is nearby.
How near?
an actual Calcuttan would be able to tell you.

15 km according to google maps

than I would suggest not taking it.

Should not be 15 Kms from Rajarhat exway. Probably 4-6 kms at max.

^^ Not even that. Its just 4-5 kms from New Town bus terminal..

well i just put in

new town uniworld Kolkata to Kolata and it came out about 15km

Yes, google probably calculates it from somewhere north kolkata. Anyway, its very near to the newtown ex'way..

well i just put in

new town uniworld Kolkata to Kolata and it came out about 15km

From Uniworld, its 5-6Km to Saltlake, and 10Km to reach EM Bypass.

But why the calculation of distance to Kolkata?
Newtown itself its a planned city. All ammenities are designed in plan unlike Kolkata.
No need to go to Dharmatala for long distance Bus, cause two big modern bus terminuses r coming into newtown, and Bantala, where arnd 700 bus will accommodated.
Bank and the Govt offices are also moving to newtown CBD area. so called India's second Financial Hub.
some colleges r also following the path to set up new branches in newTown.
So IT/ITES, Bio companies, tech colleges, IIT, 2nd Maidan, Conventional center, too many shopping malls, theaters, Airport also.
Rajarhat will be the first Zero Energy Town in the country. so cheers for it :)

And the time when Rajarhat will get its full shape with AA-IV, Uniworld will be the central position in it. But one "IF"

Should be about 18-20 kms from main city.

You have to take the Rajarhat Highway, Salt Lake Bypass, Eastern Metropolitan Bypass, Park Circus Connector to reach Park Street.

yeah but you cant tell me that people dont move around for jobs.


Sure the majoirty will be employed in the CBD maybe. But say somebody changes jobs and gets a job in another place in Kolkata

then what?


SO i feel you need a gateway to the city. Which if its only 5-6 km is fine

Should be about 18-20 kms from main city.

You have to take the Rajarhat Highway, Salt Lake Bypass, Eastern Metropolitan Bypass, Park Circus Connector to reach Park Street.

how long would that take.

taken the traffic of the city, in peak hours it can take anything between, an hour to an hour and half!!!

with this mega project being built

what are the odds of Kolkata building a specific road to New Town?

cause i looked at the map and there is a lot of land beside there to be exploited for residential/CBD purposes. Which is nearish to the city.

A nice express-way and a strong bus system along it will be a great treat for this project.

Nowadays in Bengal, people are more for farms than expressways. You have to remember expressways are for rich people and their polluting cars. But farms are for poor people. How can the dirty rich take away land of poor people to build expressways and drive their fancy cars?

Indeed in a year we may see bulldozers entering New Town and demolishing all traces of urbanity and make it New Village - all green and gorgeous, where happy farmers will till lands, their wives will make puffed rice and the children will tend to the fat cows munching on juicy grass. Bullock carts will be the only form of transport apart from your legs. This is the new enlightened vision of a new Bengal.

Awesome pics UNIWORLD

Any design plan of IIT Campus at Rajarhat?
In my last visit, I saw there was a construction going on infront of Uniworld City, In fact, Unitech also claims that IIT Campus is in under construction. Is it true?
I also found one news, there was a problem to build boundary wall of their campus. whats the status? and If really in progress... does anybody know the 10 acres design plan?:nuts:

Awesome updates, uniworld:cheers: I must say some of this stuff look mighty impressive. And people are actually living there contrary to what the media reports.

Unitech Air and Downtown.

Only one gaddi???

Only one gaddi???

maybe for the time being !!... but 68 towers.. too much in 100 acres.. like jungle of towers..

68 towers???...i guess they dint follow the protocol for complexes across the city which suggests to keep 30% empty space!!

Why do you think so? Take a look at the nearing completion sections from May 2010. There is plenty of open spaces. Maybe someone can do the % calc.

Plus with opposition to fertile land aquistion ( there is no non fertile land around Kolkata) and rising environmental awareness (so no more quitely filling up ponds and water bodies), people will have to sacrifice open spaces in urban living or just build tall and thin skyscrapers like they are doing in Mumbai. However what happens is that while the percentage of open space in terms of area goes up, the per capita open space comes down. But rarely do politicians or developers talk about the second part and to be fair to them, they have no control over population growth.

^^ per capita open space !!!! :lol:

Air (probably from April 11)

Yes i had come across an ad in the papers about the Unitech air and it meantioned they have completed 20 of the 40 stories.

BTW this entire tower is now residential,but originally it was supposed to have office space also,wasnt it?

I think it is residential from the beginning?

Yes it is...btw does anyone know its height???(in mts.)

^^I remember reading somewhere but they have left 80% open space or more. Again I am not saying 80% is great or 70% is bad. The equations should be "total saleable area v/S open space" . Roughly 75% open space is good for 10 towers upto 15 floors but may not be so for 5 towers of 30 floors each.

Yes it is...btw does anyone know its height???(in mts.)

At 40 floors and as residential this will reach at least 120-125m

Thanks mountaincloud for the banner. :)

I know it is a suitable banner pic, U/c buildings are the only ones that goes against it. Come 2013, & it will make a great banner.

^^ Cool photo Samrat :cheers:

Samrat, great coverage of New Town :applause:

You should post all the other pictures from your album as well :)

I am not aware if SCC has a policy of not putting U/C buildings as banner. But, i thing the heart and soul of SCC deals with buildings which are U/C. So, i guess there is no point in not allowing U/C building as banner. It shows a city skyline U/c. it would definitely be a good pic.
