^^Nice updates, Sun:) The design is superior to the rectangular blocks we get to see more often.

seriously dude. concrete blocks after concrete blocks is what we were about to see. Glad to see some change.:cheers:

Nice mix of post-modernist and Miami-type art-deco design elements :)

any latest updates?

by the way i agree with you manbil777:)

Ideal Heights are of ideal height too. all in mid-20s

Ideal Heights will change the Skyline of Sealdah once completed. It will be an inspiration for the millions(perhaps less) of commuters pouring in to Kolkata everyday to see such skyscrapers at first sight.

Can anyone pinpoint the location on google Map?

Yep. those are coming up nicely. Calcutta by 2012 will look different skyline wise.

thanks Sun for the latest update. development of this building really delights my heart. waiting for a drastic change in this area skyline.

Yes, it is rising nicely. In reality also one can see it from far and also from inside the trains from Sealdah Carshed - since the adjoining area does not have other tall structures.

Highrise complexes touching the sky! God bless Kolkata.

One of the landmark projects in central Kolkata ... but taking too long to complete

Yes, but I think Hafeez Contractor has re-sold this design to Kolkata. There's another project in Mumbai, which is identical to this and has been complete since long. Unfortunately, alot of designs by Hafeez are recycled ones'

Nonetheless, looks unique, although i am not so sure of the the architect's conscience :wink2:
