Orchid Turf View -- Mahalaxmi


DB Reality has become one of Mumbai's most prolific developers and are behind several of the Mumbai's tallest building proposals. Orchid Turf View is one of these.

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/2236/01by1.jpg http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/7599/01un0.jpg

Located right next to the famous Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Orchid Turf View will join several other 50+ story towers planned for former mill and chawl land nearby Mahalaxmi, several from DB Realty itself, and will soon be a part of the new skyline stretching from Mumbai Central to Bandra.

The location of the building will command both visibility and will offer some great views of the Indian Ocean and the racecourse itself.

^ The building will offer some impressive views of Mumbai and the Mahalaxmi Racecourse

Especially in comparison many of the other capital projects coming up in Mumbai, Orchid Turf View isn't of radical design, but its clean lines and simple shape will make it an attractive, if not eyecatching, addition to the skyline. Of note is the swimming pools on every balcony.

DB Realty's website features a movie walkthrough (http://www.dbrealty.in/sectors/realestate/Orchid%20Turf%20View/walkthrough/walkthrough.html) of the project which showcases its interior and a couple outside views. Some screencaps:

Residential towers of 47 floors
5 level podium


Sun, please update the title.

That looks more like a 20 story that 50.

^^wow, you can really count

The towers been approved for a while now.Whens construction going to start?

On a positive note. This tower is downright ugly eye sore. Be happy, it hasn't started cuz there is a good chance architects are going back on the drawing board & redoing this into a crazy sexy tower. I hope so. believe me, 50-fl are too tall to have an eye sore.

Nice to see the pools.
I hope the plumbing will be good in these towers cause recently I read somewhere in SSC that mumbai plumbing is old and deteriorating in populated parts.

I spoke to a sales rep from DB realty a couple of hours ago. She said the project will be launched in next 2-3 months.

meanwhile, here's another photo of the site:

So lets assume the construction will start sometime in October!!!

Doesnt look at all 50 floors.

I could count upto 42 floors.. maybe the podium is included when speaking of 47 floors.

going by DB realty's IPO prospectus, construction of this tower should have begun this month. The reason for delay was a string of litigations. Also, it looks like the project has been redesigned. The number of towers at the Shakti Mills site have been increased.


Orchid Turf View– Mahalaxmi, Mumbai

Orchid Turf View is located in Mahalaxmi, Mumbai. The project has a total Developable Area of 2,329,261 square feet with total estimated cost of Rs. 6,753.79 million. The total Saleable Area (residential) of this project (i.e. Company’s share) is approximately 1,483,685 square feet. The proposed development comprises of residential towers with high end residential apartments including duplex luxury apartments. The duplexes will include private pools and personal hydraulic elevators. The project will offer its residents a separate recreation centre with health clubs, a gymnasium, a swimming pool and modern design and interiors. This project is designed by Mandviwala Qutub & Associates. This project is expected to begin development in December 2009 and is expected to be completed by March 2013.

nice. looks like the developers are taking care maximizing the use of the higher fsi allowances

Good to see a multi-tower plan. The design of original tower was blah at best.

Wow what a beautiful picture?I like it.All photos are best.Good to see a multi-tower plan. The design of original tower was at best.

Looks like not much has been done but the steel frames means foundation should go up soon.

they would have to dig a lot before that wouldnt they?

So work finally begins. Sweet. They've got 3 pile drivers in there so I'm guessing they're probably going to be first test piling before actually excavating?

The multiple tower news from DB's ipo prospectus is true. The project will consist of 4 x 60 storey towers. Of these two are going to be built in the first phase. And since the car park base has 5 levels, these towers will consist of 65 storeys.

July 29, 2010 - Business India

DB Realty, another listed developer, launched its super luxury project - Orchid Turf View - in March this year. Located near Mumbai's famous Mahalaxmi Race Course, the project will have a panoramic view of the race course and the Arabian Sea. The project will have four 60-storey towers. Each of the towers will have single-storey luxury apartments and duplexes with private pools and personal elevators. In Phase I, the construction work for tower A and B has commenced. While there are 25 duplexes (10,000 sq ft each) in tower A, tower B will have 50 four bedroom-hall-kitchen (BHK) apartments, each admeasuring 5,000 sq ft. Each duplex is priced at a whopping Rs55-65 crore, whereas, a four BHK apartment costs around Rs25-30 crore. Both towers have been sold out, though construction has not yet been completed. Buyers include business tycoons, top industrialists, big names in finance and banking, IT magnates and NRIs.

Designed by architect Hafeez Contractor, the company has hired L&T to carry out the construction, which is likely to be carried out in the next three years. DB Realty is bringing in the most sophisticated technology as well as fittings available in the field to cater to the inspirations of its high profile buyers. Apart from a five-level car park and three-level lobby in every tower, the duplexes will have their own swimming pool and internal elevator. "We are trying to build the most sought-after living destination. All these will be boutique units with their own themes," says Shahid Balwa, managing director, DB Realty, which raised Rs 1,5OO crore through an initial public offering (IPO) earlier this year. Balwa is of the view that in a city like Mumbai, it is the location that matters a lot. "If you have the right location, then more than half your work is done. Amenities can easily be tucked in," adds Balwa.

How are they going to complete Orchid Turf View by the last quarter of 2010, if construction hasn't even started?

I think this project was originally going to launched in 2008 as a thin, 50 storey tower. And that information is old as well.

The tops of the buildings look a bit dodgy...

This is a 65fl x 4 project. DB Realty's website shows the old render as that is the status update from June, whilst the current render was only made in August.

DB Realty has revamped their whole website and added new info. Orchid Turf Views page says the towers will be 70 fl.

And I think amphpri may be right about that render showing all 4 towers. This is the layout plan (http://www.dbrealty.co.in/projects/orchid_turfview/layout_large.jpg) and there doesn't seem likes theres much more room in the complex.

Good catch!! Those DO indeed look like 4 crowns - I just thought they were two !! Feels like cheating though - to most people - that itty-bitty space between two "coupled" towers does not enough to call them separate and hence 4!!

Great updates. Thanks mer101.

Site prep...no idea, but that crane used for piling work is still there as u can see in the pic, so may be its still at ground level

This will look awesome when completed.

Ok - NOW this project title states70fl X2 ! so its NOT 65x4 anymore? Which means those aren't really FOUR crowns but TWO disjoint ones?
Sorry about the repeated queries guys - I'm just trying to wrap my head around this...This project keeps changing its specs all the time!!

There was never 4 towers, that was just a misunderstanding. And those are two disjointed crowns.

There are 2 towers with 2 wings each. Tower 1 (A,B wings) has 60 units of which 29 have been sold till now. Tower 2 hasn't been launched yet.

This is definitely a SUPER TALL right? Whats the process of moving something from Skyscraper to a super tall? This is currently in the proposed Skyscraper page in the international forums. Every thing is outdated. Should I (or someone) create a super-tall thread in the proposed Supertalls?

Its 70 floors btw.

^^ Yea - I've asked them to make the correction in the PRoposed thread

70 floors doesn't necessarily mean a supertall.

Its 70 floors btw.
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4764/temphy.jpg

Looks like two towers:
- 76 floors + 70 floors
- 70 floors + 70 floors


Moreover, it looks to most definately be supertall heights. The 273 m height listed was the height of the previous 52-storey design:

http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/1118/tempt.jpg

Assuming the same floor heights, that puts the redesigned Orchid Turf towers at at least 400 m in height, and possibly 420 m at the top of the crown/spire.


Edit - if you add the podium, the total number of floors pushes 80. DB Realty, for whatever reason, never adds podium height to total building height, probably to purposefully play down heights.

Nah Jai. No way is it 400m. 270m actually sounds pretty accurate for 70F residential.

I admit, its definitely on the higher side of an estimate. But the original plan had huge 'floor' heights of about 5 m . If you look at the original rendering (http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/2236/01by1.jpg), it almost looks like each 'floor' actually has 2 levels bisecting at least half the length of the floor, with a common area of sorts towards the inboard side (with a pool?) having the full a 5 m high ceiling. That explains why it was so tall for the number of floors it had.

Assuming the same ceiling heights -- probably a big assumption, but I'm highballing the guesstimate -- we get the 400 m figure. But if you look at the large rendering (http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/9214/imia.jpg), it seems to have the same kind of bisected, 5 m high ceilings. Indeed, the only changes in the new design seem to be the top floors and crown.

=====
Edit ^^, nevermind, looking at the rendering again, I'm totally mistaken.... Question... when did the 273 m height come to light? Is that the height of the previous design versus the new design?

Even if we assume standard floor heights, the 76 storey tower + ~4 storey podium = 80 storey high tallest wing, 280 m is a conservative figure. When you factor in roof heights, I'm sure it breaches 300 m, comfortably at the spire height.

This one with the crown is has got to be a supertall. 400m seems a bit to far.

Yeah 300m doesn't look unrealistic. These biggies will dwarf a nice <200m skyline, we'll need more haha.

I had a look inside, there is a huge space inside too where he said the towers would sprout up, however i will reconfirm.

Yeah, the structures are up, saw them today on my way to work. Yeah, that place is actually quite compact, i really don't know how they are going to fit anything else there.

But yeah, also quite possible there's space within which we can't see from behind the high walls.

I have a serious doubts on this tower's height. DB realty normally provide 14feet floor to ceiling height to their luxury and super luxury projects and this building falls under super luxury category. Therefore at 14 feet height this will easily reach 350m.

Render also looks about 350m tall
http://www.dbrealty.co.in/projects/orchid_turfview/elevation_2_large.jpg

yes, i too have doubt on its 273m height but we need a source to change height.
If we go by 14ft (or 4.5m) then
4.5*68=306m
3*8=24
306+24+50(spire)= 380m

14 ft per floor? Isn't that a bit higher for a normal floor?

Yes........14ft is suitable(normal) for commercial projects but now many supertall residential buildings are providing 14 ft F-F height.

Same render but also shows shangri la hotel

i had the same image when i saw that

Sauron is coming back to earth in mumbai

seems like work was at full swing this evening..i jus passed by couldnt click any pics as the pics were not at all clear...

^ That's good to read. The DB stock hasn't crashed after the ED's notice so that's another positive development :shifty:

Things should become clearer on September 15 when the CBI court decides on the charges to be framed.

Yeah....I am keeping my fingers crossed that India Tower doesn't get affected....and thanks for the info on the date.

Why are they calling it "DB Tower".

Old news.. If you scroll up I believe someone asked the same question and even responded to it..

Where?

From Hafeez contractor (http://www.hafeezcontractor.com/) website.

Compared to nearly topped-out lodha bellissimo this must be a supertall.

Move out the race course in probably Wadala or BKC area and make this race course like Central park surrounded by tall buildings.

It will never happen since its privately owned.

Good idea though.

The horseracing only happens during a small part of the year & attracts the elite of society.

If you compare it to Lodha bellisimo it will be more than 350 meters.I don't think so they are building that tall.

+1
A Central Park would be spot on here!

we can still surround it with tall buildings. and isnt it open to the public during certain hours?

Can someone confirm the report that the project has been sold to Ajay Piramal Realty Group?
Also heard that Ajay Piramal Realty has bought the Famous Studio property adjacent to this project!!!

May 24 - still no activity at the site

Can anyone point out from this location, where is the site for DB Turf view. I think this will completely block the entire view of Bellisimo. You won't be able to see even a bit. Just the wall in front of you.

any new updates??
any news when work will gonna start??

It will take another couple of years for DB realty to resume work on this project.

Will this mean that the project details will again change, considering the extra area available to spread the development of the building and also considering that this new Realty group has brought Famous Studio, can use the FSI from Famous Studio and expand the project further. I think this is going to delay the project for another 2-3 years because new sanctions, etc will have to be obtained.

If that does not happen, I wonder what Ajay Piramal Realty Group would do with simply one famous studio property left out while they develop the Turf View project.

I wonder, if they will still call it the "DB Tower".

Deekshith,

this photograph (sept update) shows the excavation, but this image (24th May) where you point out the tower has no excavation. Is this excavation photographs of another DB site or the same. Can't find it.

Initially i got confused like you but when you look at google earth you will get a clear picture of the location.
Looks like they filled the hole by sand.... IU or CG need your intervention here.

You can also see the sales office here.

Wow cool :banana:

Any idea what this project is stopped or delayed ? Is it abandoned?

Well if this render from EnerArch (http://www.enerarch.com/projects/)'s website is the new official design, then I sure hope this project gets abandoned and some other developer takes the plot.

Though, this maybe the prerendering for a complete redesign of the whole project, hence such generic designs.

Project: Orchid Turf View
Project Description: Residential & Commercial towers
Location: Mahalaxmi, Mumbai
Service Offered: Environment analysis for the compliance with the High Rise Committee.
