That looks nice!

It looks OKAY, but great news for M'lore. Is this going to be the tallest building there? I'm guessing it IS.

Cool!

Moved to main Mangalore project thread as per suggestion below.

^^krishnamoorthy......plz dont post it here, this thread is only meant for SKS Enclave updates...

ore. Is this going to be the tallest building there? I'm guessing it IS.


YES. It will be 125 metres tall.

^^I thought the tallest resi tower in the South was going to be the Trump Tower in Bangalore?

^^I thought the tallest resi tower in the South was going to be the Trump Tower in Bangalore?

I think that is also 150 metres. Is it the one planned on Residency road?

I got the message that the plot adjacent to Land Mark apartments on NH-17 is leveled and the surface of the small road leading to the plot has got a much widened fresh surface. Probably within another three or four days there should be a grand foundation laying ceremony for the Mangalore's tallest residential building.

Moorthy,at 125 metres it will be one of the tallest in the South if not the tallest!

^^The Trump tower in Bangalore is 165m and has 47 floors.It will also be the tallest in India out of Mumbai

Good,Karnataka will have the tallest structures! I thought the one in Hyderabad was the talllest (not residential).

Oh! I meen that it will be the tallest residential tower in India out of Mumbai. But now i remember about the Lanco Hills Signature tower which will be almost three times the size of this tower...that is if it does ever get built.

Seeing that the tallest one in existence and being built right now is only 20 floors....you can say YES......
That was all over India, and not just Mangalore.....

When K2 was being built there were comments indicating it that was the tallest. After that taller structures were built. Currently the 25 storied Inland Windsors is under construction. In the south amongst the non metros only Mangalore,TVM,Kochi,Calicut have really big high rise structures. Thrissur ,Vizag may be following .Mangalore has plenty of structures in the 12 to 16 storied categories.There is virtually no skyscapering in other cities either in Andhra or TamilNadu.

Hi Bobbie

I thought you were from Hyderabad! Sorry I missed Vijayawada,Coimbatore or other cities which may be having very few projects but nothing when compared to the cities mentioned above.

Ajaychetta, calicut is also soon goin to have its 40 storied structure called lesly heights, see kerala subforum for renders....

Then wat happened to u, no news for many months, otherwise i would have recieved a PM everyday...really missing u...

Good news for calicut. I am proud of what you are doing at the site.
Sanju Did you hear,Amrith has been demolished. Theatres like ramakanthi,Balaji,Chitra ,Central might be demolished. Central owners have got a huge undisclosed price for their land!

With 40 or 42 floors, SKS Enclave would never be 150m, maximum possible is 126m.

At present, the 128m North Star@ Brigade Gateway, Bangalore (Structure over) is the tallest tower.

If it happens, Trump Tower will be the tallest for some time. Anyway it is better not to count the chickens before it is hatched. All those projects are still in paper.

Moorthy,at 150 metres it will be SOUTH INDIA'S TALLEST RESIDENTIAL TOWER!

Hi Sudeesh

You are right. When I spoke to the architect cum promoter he had already got permission for 125 metres and with the new building byelaws coming up in Mangalore he was confident of getting 150 metres. I am not too sure how many floors will be there in that although they have advertised as 40 or so.I am not too sure what will happen with the recession.but the promoter is upbeat and confident!

any updates...??

any updates...??

No Akash ,I have sent a mail to the promoter. Awaiting a reply.

^^ Well Ajay, anything solid on this?

It could be. Shreepati Arcade in Mumbai has 45 floors and has a height of 156 meters. So this project should be around 145-150m.

Are there any high rises coming up in mysore??

Are there any high rises coming in mysore??

^The only one over 10 floors is the 13 storey Brigade Horizon (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=29369820&postcount=32). Check the Mysore projects thread to see some lowrises.

I noticed your reply only now. Thanks for the Info on Shreepati Arcade. Anyway it appears deviation from the norms, with the floor to floor height being 3.4 m. There is no reason for a builder to loose money on this when the floor to floor height normally is 2.9m.

And there is also chance that the floor to floor height is itself, the difference in total height being something else. I think Emporis says the building has 'commercial' as side usage also. Perhaps those floors which are commercial have more height.

It is not even under construction.

Who posts such inconsistent nonsense? Who in the right mind would say "Under Construction" with such conviction without verifying facts? Thanks for the update Krishna :)

MANGALORE: If Dubai can boast of the world's tallest building Burj Khalifa which opened amid much fanfare earlier this year, Mangalore will soon have bragging rights to the state's tallest residential building, the premium apartments near Karnataka Polytechnic at Kadri.

Promoted by Shashi Kiran Shetty, MD and chairman of Allcargo Global Logistics, and architect Sanath Kumar Shetty, the building, 125 metre tall, will have 38 stories and three basements for parking about 350 cars. It'll have 200 apartments, each of minimum 3,000 sqft. Work on the project will start soon and be completed in about 40 months from the date of commencement. Spread over 4.25 acres, the complex occupies 9% of the total area and total built-up area will be 6 lakh sqft.

Sanath Kumar Shetty told TOI the building will incorporate intelligent building technology and have amenities like swimming pools, waterfalls, putting area for golf, tennis and badminton courts, apart from a helipad atop the building. Shetty said details of the price per sqft rate and a scheme to avoid the monthly maintenance charges by collecting a one-time deposit are being worked out.

The building will have seven high-speed elevators. This project is just three floors shy of the 40-storey residential building by Choice Group, Kochi, and five more than Tata Aquila Heights at Bangalore and 13 more than Bearys Habitat.

The building, being built according to the National Building Code of India, has received a No-Objection Certificate from the fire department.

THAT issue is at last sorted. I am happy that they have fulfilled all criteria set out by NBC and local building regulations especially fire safety. I am not too bothered about the height. It is the safety that is important..lacking in most Indian cities...hope this is a trend setter..Good for Mangalore

True Ajay Mangalore has those modern imported fire fighting vehicles which I got to know from the recent news article which stated the arrival of such vehicles in Hubli.Safety is a major issue and I also guess helipads are a must these days.

Mangalore must utilize the JNNURM funds for greater Mangalore concept and earmark land for layouts as horizontal growth would be good for the soil dynamics.

Unscientific land usage like heavy concentration of high rises in a particular area is not good it will have its long term effects.

Localized pressure builds up and Mangalore soil is not that strong enough i have learnt.

^^ Hope they have addressed all those issues in Mangalore Master Plan.

SKS enclave is using only 9% of land.

Not sure what type of golf course they are going to have.

I am still skeptical on the unscientific usage of land, recently IISC released the details of seismic hazards faced by Bangalore due to the presence of Mandya fault line.

Mangalore must not go the bangalore and mumbai way.

Mumbai is placed in the high intensity zone.Bangalore is much better but given the coastal outlook of Mangalore One cannot really say much about earthquake effects.

Humans can't predict earthquakes however we must ensure that we must not become victims of our own actions.I hope the builder is aware of that.

Instead he must construct 4 blocks of 10 storied buildings.

Akash, report talks about Bangalore & Mysore only. Since Mangalore at sea level there may not be much load on earth. Since Bangalore, Mysore are at higher altitude they may be pressurising earth more? Only some deep foundation is needed?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_(engineering)

Sice you are a structural engineering expert you definitely know things better than me. Are you also a geotechnical engineer?

I wonder how they have taken care of things in Kochi, Kozhicode.

Anyway people have already flatened out many hills in Mangalore and the stress on earth might have come down......

In case of Inland Windors they have dug out deep and removed a lot of soil probably two three times the weight of building....

Well Krishnamoorthy I am still pursuing my masters in Structural engineering and I have taken earthquake engineering as my specialization for thesis I also plan to take up project in this very dynamoc field.

I will soon open a new thread to make all of us here on SSCI be exposed to the earthquake fundamentals.

Yes the report speaks about the Bangalore-Mysore region.

Wat I learnt from initial classes in my dept is that by exposing the land to high pressure(due to buildings) it may alter the pressure distribution of the local plates/layers under the region,also water level is high along the coastal region which will act as a lubricant to the fractured plates.
I will soon open a new thread once I feel I have gained enough knowledge here.

Yes we need to study the wave dynamics(geotechnical subject) propagation and attenuation of waves(due to soil damping)some waves refract/reflect due to varying soil densities.Many technical aspects Involved.I will put them later.



EQ can be divided into 3 parts-

1)Seismology/hazard assessment-prediction(toughest)

2)Soil Dynamics(quite difficult as it varies at every point on earth)

3)Structural Analysis-which uses the peak loads due to base excitation This input is used to design buildings.This field is well defined and pretty easy

First two are the toughest.

Mangalore high high ground water level which may act as a lubricant and also subjecting th land to high pressures may make the ground below plastic locally so if slight waves reach Mangalore there will be something called liquefaction and terribly effect the already pressurized plastic plates.

Yes the soil would be well compacted before digging out,once done the soil elastically rebounds back,intense soil testing is required to certify the length of piles required,if the soil has hard stratum below they might go for end bearing piles but mostly in coastal regions it is the friction piles which is significant.

Imagine an entire building is supported on the piles and when waves reach the site there is a phenomenon called liquefaction of soil where soil behaves like liquid and flows in that case the piles are subjected to high compression and no lateral confinement so they buckle under the heavy loads.

Mangalore has that problem

Salt lake city in Calcutta is highly vulnerable to this phenomena of liquefaction

Flattening of hills is the worst game human can play with nature its effects will be seen later.

Earthquake/seismic activity cant be predicted.

Why the hell did they even flatten the hill???????????

They flattened a bit of a hill for constructing the Citi centre mall!
Akash and Moorthy thanks for educating us on soil characteristics,liquefaction etc...I know only of tectonic plates!

Hopefully the construction will start soon.


Moorthy could you please give the exact location in the form of a map/diagram?

thanks

The location is marked as a solid red circle.

Blueberry hill will be on the backside of this proposed building. On Blueberry hill Skyline buildings are under construction. One more thirteen storeyed structure is visible from NH-17 side but not sure whether it is also a Skyline building.

38 floors or 42 floors???

Can any of the mods confirm and rename the thread??

Mangalore to Get Another High Rise Res Complex at Kadri (http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=90657)

Mangalore to Get Another High Rise Res Complex at Kadri

Mangalore, Nov 29: Being enterprising is an art which many Mangaloreans have mastered with aplomb to emerge as leaders in their respective fields both in the national and global scenario. It is to the credit of Mangaloreans that they have a huge stake in India’s rising prosperity and this success naturally has to coalesced with standardized and energetic living.

Mangalore has emerged as one of the fastest growing tier-2 cities of the country and witnessed rapid development in the last decade. Development always partners novel concepts to improve quality of life and Mangalore is no exception to adapt to this. Nevertheless, one cannot deny that there was a shortfall of choices of good lifestyle living for the successful Mangaloreans in their hometown to compliment their success and stature. “planet sks”, which has the distinction of being one of the tallest residential towers in Karnataka, is a high-end housing project coming up in Mangalore, to cater to this generation of the bold and successful, who want to enhance quality of life with the comfort of a majestic lifestyle and savor the everlasting joy of living.

http://www.daijiworld.com/images1/sks_112910-1.jpg
Promoters: Shashi Kiran Shetty and Sanath Shetty

The high rise luxury tower which has 4 basements of parking and ground plus 35 storeys comprising 3 wings is a limited edition iconic address in the port city of Mangalore. It is promoted by Shashi Kiran Shetty, Managing Director and Chairman of Allcargo Global Logistics (one of the global leaders in logistics) and Sanath Kumar Shetty, well known architect of Mangalore, who is also the architect of this new elite destination of Mangalore, located off NH 17, near Karnataka Polytechnic, Kadri, Mangalore. The project will be launched on December 15, 2010 and possession given by the end of 2014.

Situated in an expanse of 4.25 acres of land with 89% of open ground/space “planet sks” has 184 three to four bedroom apartments with 415 covered car parks for the residents and 30 for the visitors and is sure to reflect the changing concept of urban living in Mangalore. It offers multifold amenities like mini-forest, children’s park, playground, neighborhood stores & coffee shop. The clubhouse offers fitness and plush lifestyle amenities such as swimming pools basketball court, tennis court, , indoor squash and shuttle badminton court, skating rink, health club, yoga and meditation pavilion, jogging track amidst greens, spa, state of the art gym, , party hall and suites for guests etc. This residential project is designed to provide an eclectic mix of living in a sanctuary of peace and beatitude, without foregoing the benefits of modern day conveniences and luxuries. Innovative technology in its finest form is the hallmark of this project.

Sanath Kumar Shetty declares “planet sks is a home and a habitat and our humble presentation to those people who are unconventional and innovative and those who want to experience life as an adventure, to live life to the fullest”.

“What sets this iconic project apart from the rest is that for the first time the latest MIVAN technology is being used in the project. This is a revolutionary formwork construction system for cast in place reinforced concrete building structure. Using this unique systems all the walls, floor slabs, columns, beams, stairs, balconies together with door and window openings are cast in place in a single site based operation resulting in achieving high structural stability and accurate dimensions. It is built on the ‘low density high rise policy’ to ensure healthy living ”, says an exuberant Shashi Kiran Shetty, promoter of this exclusive project. Shashi Kiran Shetty also hastens to add that it is an ecologically sustainable project. “Our dream is to implement self sustaining greenery to restore habitats of plant, bird and animal life. 89% of open space is our proud contribution to conservation. We intend to install our own Sewage Treatment Plant at site to undertake waste water management in our efforts to provide reuse and recycling of waste without putting strain on the infrastructure of the city”, he points out.

The project is located amidst the lush green environs with an indomitable view of the swaying palms. Its strategic and central location ensures that all amenities are just a 15 minutes drive anywhere from the city including airport, sea port, bus station and the railway stations. A large lung space to the occupants is ensured as the Kadri Park is situated in the close vicinity of the site.

With lot of ingenious planning going into the project keeping in tune with the concept of providing smart homes to the discerning, “planet sks” represents new dimension in design, elegance and style. The project offers 3300 sft 3 bedroom apartments in the first 25 floors (6 units per floor) and 4 bedroom apartments of 6600 sft (3 units per floor) from 26th floor onwards. Each unit of the 6600 sft 4 bedroom apartment has a 35X10.3 ft lap swimming pool with a deck area of 753sft.

Apart from world class amenities every apartment will have a lavish lay out, both functional and well ventilated. The efficient lay out and the sensuous interiors of the apartments are simply the symbol of high living. The circulation pattern within the apartment provides privacy to the bedrooms. Intelligent planning ensures service entry directly to the work area/kitchen from the floor lobby. The grand 60 feet cantilever double height porch flanked by cascading waterfall and extensive greenery awaits its inhabitants, to give that feeling of being in another world altogether. Spacious lobbies at every floor, sky gardens at regular intervals and a majestic entrance lobby are some of the luxury features which are sure to ensure a timeless impression to this signature architectural marvel.


As Shashi Kiran Shetty says “Mangalore has enfolded novel concepts aimed at improving the quality of life especially those which have caused common good. Mangalore’s enterprising and intelligent citizens are exposed to international technology and are comfortable with it. We want to celebrate this human spirit and want to erect not just icons but buildings that celebrate the newer concepts, wisdom and competence of today, for a better tomorrow and we want to salute that spirit through this project”.

With fitness gaining more paramount importance these days “planet sks” has energizing fitness amenities and provisions such as a unique creative and innovative pedestrian causeway (underground), fully equipped air-conditioned gymnasium with extensive indoor and outdoor landscape to give that feeling of working out in the woods. The rejuvenating Spa in conformity to global standards is aimed to give the resort kind of experience at the doorstep of the inhabitants.

Commenting on what made him to opt for this high rise eco-friendly tower Shashi Kiran Shetty admits “environment friendly concepts make significant impact only when the entire community subscribes and adopts it. Preservation and restoration of urban ecosystem is feasible with high rise buildings. Therefore, I feel community housing is an opportunity to implement such eco-friendly concepts of the larger good of both the users and the city at large”.

With this project Shashi Kiran Shetty is making a foray into community housing and infrastructure. “I wished to start my journey on a safe shore and Mangalore being my hometown, where I can expect all possible help, I decided to come out with this project”, he admits.

The architect of this new destination in Mangalore, Sanath Kumar Shetty talking about the main object of the project says “several Mangaloreans have achieved success in varied fields and have put Mangalore’s name in the global scenario. Needless to say they are accustomed to global standards of living. This captive market has not been serviced as yet. Complimenting their success with a good lifestyle in their hometown in Mangalore is the objective of promoting this luxury housing project”.

It is interesting to note that promoter Shashi Kiran Shetty is the Chairman and Managing Director of Allcargo Global Logistics Limited, which has a presence in 65 countries of the world. Allcargo is India’s first multinational company in the logistics sector. His enterprising success has brought him the Young Entrepreneur award and his company was deservingly awarded “Logistics Company of the Year” by NDTV Profit in 2009. The combination of his experience, expertise and business acumen and the architectural knowhow of Sanath Kumar Shetty are sure to make “planet sks” an heavenly abode on earth. It is for those who are a class apart, who wish to experience good life and know they deserve it.

Designer flats make a splash

Three-Wing Skyscraper Will Be A Showpiece With 30 Pools
Stanley G Pinto | TNN
Mangalore: Want to own a swimming pool on the 26th floor of a building? Not appealing? Why not the 30th or 35th floor, then?

Mangalore’s landscape is changing thick and fast, and so is the profile of its buyers. Though apartment culture started in the late 70s, it’s the late 2000s which have given customers designer flats with apartment costing in excess of Rs 1 crore. The tallest skyscraper in the city, to be launched in a couple of days on 4.25 acres of land near Kadri, boasts of indoor swimming pools on each floor after the 25th, totalling 30, till the 35th floor. Each apartment housing a pool will be 6,600 sqft in dimension, equipped with a helipad and cost Rs 4,000 per sqft, making the Rs 2 crore apartment a reality.

The Rs 150 crore project is being promoted by Shashi Kiran Shetty, CMD, Allcargo Global Logistics and architect Sanath Kumar Shetty (joint venture known as SKS Netgate Pvt Ltd), and will have three basements to park around 350 cars. Incidentally, it’s christened Planet SKS!
Sanath Shetty told The Times of India that indoor pools were introduced due to demand and were maintenance-free due to advanced filtration plants available now. “You have to only replace the evaporated water. That’s it,” he said, adding that 30% of the 6,600-sqft flats have already been booked. The 375 ft threewing designer structure, once completed, will comprise as many as 154 three- and 30 fourbedroom units, with 412 covered car parking slots for residents and 30 for visitors.Shetty said the project will take 48 months for completion.

WHAT IS MIVAN TECHNOLOGY?
The use of masonry is completely avoided in this revolutionary construction system. There is no plastering of walls either inside or outside. Mivan technology helps achieve optimum quality and high speed of construction with cent percent finishing. The resulting structure is very strong, and accurate in dimension.

MANGALORE’S FIRSTS
First project to adhere to Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) silver rating 38,000 sqft indoor clubhouse (largest in state) First-time use of Mivan technology Largest floor space apartments: 3,300 sqft for 3-bed and 6,600 for 4-bed units Main door height 9 ft and inside door height 8 ft, solariums etc Indoor swimming pools are 10.6 x 32 ft in dimension

Need clarification guys swimming pools are planned for 10 floors right? 26 to 35 floors, with three wings three apartments per floor, so totals to 30 floors,right??They have also mentioned that it will take 48 months isn't it too long?or the swimming pool construction has made it complex

Need clarification guys swimming pools are planned for 10 floors right? 26 to 35 floors, with three wings three apartments per floor, so totals to 30 floors,right??They have also mentioned that it will take 48 months isn't it too long?or the swimming pool construction has made it complex

:)

375feet height is equal to 114.3metres. Can anybody put a list of tallest building in south india and karnataka in terms of metres

^^ brigade gateway (commercial building) is 128m height. tata acquila 32 floors 105 meters topped out.

UB tower 124m height.

any idea when this building will be topped out? im not sure about duration of construction for high rises..

Are you sure UB tower would be 124 m in height?I seriously doubt that,considering the fact that floor to floor height for resdential towers are around 3-3.5 m,no way will UB city even breach 110 m.

Brigade North star,Bengaluru 128 m

Mantri pinnacle (conception stage- 46 floors*3.5 = 160 m (approx)

Hyderabad some tower u/c - little below 130 m

Choice paradise Cochin missed top slot gain by a whisker 120+ m

Mangalore SKS Planet my guess 115 m

I wanted SKS planet to beat Mantri pinnacle,never mind...Let us hope more skyscrapers will scrape through Mangalore skies :)

^^
tallest in height is brigade north star.
highest floors is choice paradise cochin i think.. which is already topped out. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=635955&page=3 untill mantri pinnacle comes up in 3-4 years

commercial buildings have false ceiling so each floor height is more. UB city height i think includes that sharp antenna structure at top :tiasd:

Akash, any idea on Mivan technology? Is there a thread in SSC which talks about latest building technologies?

Akash ,if you go to the first page on this thread someone commented if Mangalore would get any more taller buildings because SKS owners constructed the 19 storied structure and named it K2. They might came back with taller buildings!

Mangalore, December 14: A Rs 150 crore mega eco-housing project which is sure to change the sky line of Mangalore will be launched on 4.25 acres of green environs off NH 17 near Kadri Park in city on Wednesday.

Shashi Kiran Shetty, Chairman and Managing Director of SKS Netgate Pvt Ltd, the promoters, told media persons at a press meet here on Tuesday that the project will be developed as per eco-friendly standards set out by Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). The sky scraper will adhere to the Silver Rating guidelines of IGBC, the first rating programme developed in India exclusively for the residential sector. “Eighty nine percent of open space is the proud contribution of ‘planet sks’ to conservation,” he said.

He said, the 375 feet tall distinctive three-wing designer structure, once completed will comprise as many as 184 three to four bedroom units with 412 covered car parks for the residents and 30 for the visitors. In a refreshing approach, ‘planet sks’ devotes nearly 38,000 sq ft toward club house, health club, gymnasium and spa. Among the project’s many exclusive features, ‘planet sks’ will feature a rooftop helipad in Mangalore.

‘planet sks will be launched by Mrs Susheela Shetty, Mrs Leelavathi Hegde and Mrs Vimala Shetty, all mothers of Directors of SKS Netgate Pvt Ltd

“The project will be completed on schedule within 48 months. We are confident that ‘planet sks’, which offer an iconic address in Mangalore, will be embraced by Mangaloreans who have always taken to novel concepts with enthusiasm,” he said.

“Through this revolutionary construction system, use of masonry is completely avoided. There is no plastering of walls either inside or outside. Mivan technology helps us achieve optimum quality and high speed of construction with cent percent finishing. The resulting building structure is very strong, accurate in dimensions,” Shetty added.

Akash, any idea on Mivan technology? Is there a thread in SSC which talks about latest building technologies?

Me too hearing it for the first time ,Here are some salient features of the Mivan technology:

The system of aluminum forms (MIVAN) has been used widely in the construction of residential units and mass housing projects. It is fast, simple, adaptable and cost – effective. It produces total quality work which requires minimum maintenance and when durability is the prime consideration. This system is most suitable for Indian condition as a tailor–made aluminum formwork for cast–in–situ fully concrete structure.

Background
Mivan is basically an aluminium formwork system developed by one of the construction company from Europe. In 1990, the Mivan Company Ltd from Malaysia started the manufacturing of such formwork systems. Now a days more than 30,000 sq m of formwork used in the world are under their operation. In Mumbai, India there are number of buildings constructed with the help of the above system which has been proved to be very economical and satisfactory for Indian Construction Environment.
The technology has been used extensively in other countries such as Europe, Gulf Countries, Asia and all other parts of the world. MIVAN technology is suitable for constructing large number of houses within short time using room size forms to construct walls and slabs in one continuous pour on concrete. Early removal of forms can be achieved by hot air curing / curing compounds. This facilitates fast construction, say two flats per day. All the activities are planned in assembly line manner and hence result into more accurate, well – controlled and high quality production at optimum cost and in shortest possible time.
In this system of formwork construction, cast – in – situ concrete wall and floor slabs cast monolithic provides the structural system in one continuous pour. Large room sized forms for walls and floors slabs are erected at site. These forms are made strong and sturdy, fabricated with accuracy and easy to handle. They afford large number of repetitions (around 250). The concrete is produced in RMC batching plants under strict quality control and convey it to site with transit mixers.
The frames for windows and door as well as ducts for services are placed in the form before concreting. Staircase flights, façade panels, chajjas and jails etc. and other pre-fabricated items are also integrated into the structure. This proves to be a major advantage as compared to other modern construction techniques.
The method of construction adopted is no difference except for that the sub – structure is constructed using conventional techniques. The super–structure is constructed using MIVAN techniques. The integrated use the technology results in a durable structure.

High quality Formwork panels ensure consistency of dimensions. On the removal of the formwork mould a high quality concrete finish is produced to accurate tolerances and verticality. The high tolerance of the finish means that no further plastering is required. Typically a 3mm to 4mm skin coat is applied internally prior to finishing and a 6mm build up coat prior to laying tiles. Care must be taken so that the concert and in particular the enforcement does not become contaminated due to excessive or negligent application of the releasing agent.

The Advantages of this system are...
The MIVAN formwork is specifically designed to allow rapid construction of all types of architectural layouts.
1) Total system forms the complete concrete structure.
2) Custom designed to suit project requirements.
3) Unsurpassed construction speed.
4) High quality finish.
5) Cost effective.
6) Panels can be reused up to 250 times.
7) Erected using unskilled labor.


Quality and speed must be given due consideration along with economy. Good quality construction will never deter to projects speed nor should it be uneconomical. In fact, time consuming repairs and modifications due to poor quality work generally delay the job and cause additional financial impact on the project. Some experts feel that housing alternatives with low maintenance requirements may be preferred even if the initial cost is high.

Here is a sketch I made for easy understanding:

http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4973/76437495.png

Buildings have normally Beam -column frame system :which need proper detailing to resist seismic forces.We cannot allow the columns to fail before beams during an EQ that would prove a catastrophe.So beams are so designed that they fail prior to the column and" failing" does not mean a sudden brittle one but rather a yielding plastic one with hinges formed away from the beam cloumn joint.

MIVAN technology makes use of a continuous aluminium form work which are almost the size of rooms ensuring monolith construction of slabs and walls.Hence a box like structure is formed which is way too efficient in resisting lateral forces. :)

Plz go through this paper -- very useful Information,I read those fundas from this paper :)

Mangalore to get 35-floor luxury residential project

To be completed in 4 years.

Each residential unit from 26th floor will have lap pool facility also.

Our Bureau

Mangalore, Dec. 14

Mangalore is all set to receive one of the tallest residential projects in Karnataka with the Mumbai-based SKS Netgate Pvt Ltd launching its 35-floor project ‘Planet SKS' on Wednesday.

Addressing presspersons here on Tuesday, Mr Shashi Kiran Shetty, Chairman and Managing Director of SKS Netgate Pvt Ltd, said that the Rs 150-crore mega housing project will be launched on 4.25 acres of land near Kadri Park in Mangalore on Wednesday. The project will be completed on schedule within 48 months, he said.

Once completed, the 375-feet tall three-wing structure will comprise 184 three to four bedroom units with 412 covered car parks for the residents and 30 for the visitors. Each residential unit from 26th floor will have lap pool facility also. Planet SKS will feature a rooftop helipad, he said.

Mr Sanath Kumar Shetty, architect and Director of SKS Netgate Pvt Ltd, said that the ground plus 35 floors project brings the Mivan construction technology to Mangalore for the first time. This technology is used to achieve optimum construction quality and schedules, he said.

All-round perfection

“Through this revolutionary construction system, use of masonry is completely avoided. There is no plastering of walls either inside or outside. Mivan technology helps us achieve optimum quality and high speed of construction with cent per cent finishing. The resulting building structure is very strong, accurate in dimensions,” Mr Shetty said.

The project will be developed as per eco-friendly standards set out by Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). The sky scraper will adhere to the Silver Rating guidelines of IGBC, the first rating programme developed in India exclusively for the residential sector. He said that 89 per cent open will be earmarked for greenery.

Other features of ‘Planet SKS' include solariums, cascading 30-feet high waterfall, and extensive greenery with a mini forest and multi-purpose lawn, he added.

The 35-storeyed block to have 484 flats of about 6,000 sq. ft each

Promoters claim 30 p.c. of flats are booked

After 25th floor, each flat to have a pool

MANGALORE: The tallest building of Mangalore |is expected to be located near the Kadri Park and will be ready by 2014. To be called “Planet SKS”, it will be a luxury residential building. This 35-storeyed 375-foot building will have 484 three-bedroom and four-bedroom units. This is expected to be city's first building to have rooftop helipad.

This Rs. 150-crore building was coming up on 4.25 acres of land off the National Highway No. 17. At present, the tallest building in the city is the 23-storeyed “K2” in Falnir, which is 200-ft tall. Mangalore City Corporation Town Planning Officer Balakrishna Gowda confirmed this to The Hindu. He said the SKS Planet was the tallest proposed.

The first 25 floors of the Planet SKS will have three-bedroom flats, while the 26 {+t} {+h} to 35th floors will have four-bedroom flats with each of the floors having a ‘lap' pool. The three-bedroom flats are 3,300 square feet each while the four-bedroom flats are 6,600 square feet, said Shashi Kiran Shetty, Chairman and Managing Director of the SKS Netgate Pvt. Ltd., which is constructing the building.

The feature of this building, Mr. Shetty said, would be the greenery and availability of natural light.

While the three wings of the building would come up on the 7 lakh square feet of land, about three acres of land had been earmarked for landscaping.

It would have four-floored covered car park area which would accommodate about 450 cars, including 30 vehicles of visitors. There would be a 30-foot waterfall using recycled water.

The building would have a separate sewerage treatment plant and there would be use of LED lights. The building would go in for rainwater harvesting.

“We are adopting features that will help us get the silver rating from the Indian Green Building Council,” said Mr. Shetty.

Booking

Mr. Shashi Kiran Shetty said the company had commenced booking for the project. It was charging Rs. 4,000 a sq. ft. “About 30 per cent of the flats have already been booked,” Mr. Shetty said. Apart from the Mangalroeans, the company is eyeing people from Mumbai, Bangalore and the Non-Resident Indians.

It has 184 apartments but 412 closed car parking units.484 is a mistake.

Amazing swimming pool and that too with a balcony :) Mangalore is really setting the trend for other tier two cities. Ajay if you remember guys commented about Mangalore having not so good buildings in comparison to its counterparts elsewhere(first page of mangalore projects theard),the same guys must now have a look at SKS planet,Raheja waterfront,Godrej avalon,Inland windsors etc etc they will be stunned.Mangalore has answered them befittingly.Mangalore has seen entry of national builders which is a great sign for an emerging mini metro,within 5 years we saw Int airport,huge apartments,biggest malls,concrete roads,industries etc etc,I wish those guys who commented stumble upon these lovely projects sometime now.:banana:

those guys who had commented on first page , had not been to mangalore and since it was the first page not many buildings wer displayed , mangalore then and now has some of the most beautiful buildings , mangaloreans mostly giv importance to beauty be it building or other things.

I was looking at the threads of other cities. Almost all of them are counting the basement ,Ground and other floors to determine the total number of floors in the building. Is that the norm?

In that case SKS PLANET IS A 40 STORIED STRUCTURE as it has 4 basements ,one ground and 35 floors above it.

whether planet sks has service apartments? imagin having honeymoon @ such a h8 wid swimpingool & al & sceneic surounding. can d city center mall movie hall b used for wedding? imagin marrying a m'lore mal @a malamal mall & then having honeymoon on d top of a building touching moon wid d honey.

Skyscraper project faces hurdle Staff Correspondent
MCC says only 25 floors can be allowed; developer has to pay fees for more floors
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporation says zonal regulation permits only FAR of 2.5, which means only 25 floors allowed

Builder says all permission for 35-floor complex obtained; clarification awaited from Government

MANGALORE: The Mangalore City Corporation has given permission for the developers of Planet SKS, which was billed as the tallest residential building coming up in the city, to build only 25 floors as against the proposal for 35 floors.

Official sources said the corporation took the decision as per the revised Zonal Regulations applicable for the Mangalore Planning Area. “We have permitted only 25 floors,” a senior official said and added that as per the regulations, FAR (floor area ratio) near Karnataka Polytechnic College in Kadri where the building was to be located was 2.5.

This meant the built up area could not exceed the figure arrived after multiplying the total land available for development by 2.5.

The proposed building is planned on a 16,000 square foot of land. According to the corporation's calculation, the project could not have more than 25 floors given the FAR of 2.5.

The official said any further construction of the floors would be permitted only when the developer goes for the premium FAR. The Zoning Regulations defines premium FAR as the additional FAR permitted after collecting additional fees. “The developer is yet to pay for the premium FAR fees,” the official said. The corporation has thus limited the total floors to 25.

This Rs. 150-crore building will be coming up on 4.25 acres of land off National Highway No. 17 and close to the Kadari Park. The developer has announced plans to build 35-storeyed 375-foot building that would have 484 three-bedroom and four-bedroom units. The first 25 floors of the Planet SKS would bet the three-bedroom flats, while the 26th to 35th floors would be four-bedroom flats with each of the floors having a ‘lap' pool. The developer has planned for a rooftop helipad.

‘Approved'

Spokesperson for the developer, who did not want to be named, said they had obtained permission to build 35 floors. With regard to corporation's stipulation, the spokesperson said they were awaiting clarification from the Urban Development Department about various aspects mentioned in the revised Zonal Regulations, including about the premium FAR.

“These clarifications are likely to come shortly. We will go ahead as per our original plan,” the spokesperson said.


The project is almost fully booked!

Which one is the best option premium FAR or purchasing more land? I think enough vacant land is available surrounding this site.

I heard that piling works are going on.

Indeed Karnataka is a very diverse state. Many language, custom and way of life.
But the difference between coastal Karnataka and upland Karnataka is marked. Seems like two different states in all aspects.
No wonder the cities are shaping up differently.

If you think luxe was unique to Bangalore’s realty, you need to drive down to bustling Mangalore and Mysore. Demand is upwardly mobile; you can buy an upscale residence for an obscene Rs 3 crore. Although Hubli is still lagging behind, with a top price of Rs 75 lakh for a premium apartment, industry (it’s reviving up as a business cluster) and geography (it’s located on a key national highway) could shove it into the big league.

Mysore is selling super-realty because of its heritage, climate and business potential. Villas are catching the fancy of NRIs, software engineers and doctors who are looking for second homes. Says B R Suchendra, a realty developer: “We are seeing an upward trend as villas provide luxury clubs, restaurants, billiards facilities. Many buyers prefer Mysore to Bangalore since the tech city is crowded and expensive. We are seeing big buyer interest in villas costing up to Rs 2 crore.”

It’s the city’s green outskirts that is redefining realty. Says S R Swamy, a realty developer who is building villas 20km away from the city: “Villas built in green areas provide a resort-like atmosphere. Many more inquiries are now coming in from Bangalore-based professionals.”

At least 10% of the top-end buyers are focused on villas, up from 2% a few years ago. Says T N Hemanth, chairman of the Builders’ Association of India (Mysore): “People’s purchasing power has increased and they don’t mind staying on the outskirts if they get good amenities.” Premium villas can cost anywhere between Rs 1.75 crore and Rs 2.25 crore. Realty is attracting NRIs because of a rising dollar, making purchases today cheaper compared to a year ago when the rupee was stronger.

Mangalore has just jumped on the high-end too. With NRIs entering the fray, construction costs are heading north; the cost of apartments has shot to Rs 4,500 per sqft. Of course, exclusive apartments with in-built swimming pools are available as well.

FIRST SKYSCRAPER IN MANGALORE

The first skyscraper in the city, Planet SKS, offers two kinds of basic apartments: 3,300 sqft and 6,600 sqft, costing Rs 1.5 crore to Rs 3 crore, respectively. The Planet boasts of indoor swimming pools on each floor from the 25th to the 35th, totalling 30. Each pool apartment is 6,600 sqft in size. The building has three basements for parking about 400 cars. Says Sanath Shetty, of Planet SKS: “The pools are maintenance-free since we have advanced filtration plants. You only have to replace evaporated water.”

Hubli may not be hip, but it’s climbing the realty pyramid slowly. Take Rotson Solitair, which has high security like biometric verification for apartments, besides other facilities. This 13-floor apartment will have 96 flats; the largest, 2,200 sqft, will cost Rs 74.4 lakh.

The first of its kind in Hubli, the project has a well-equipped health club, a spacious swimming pool on the 13th floor, a landscaped garden and high-speed elevators. Says Pradeep Raikar, managing director, Rotson Group: “We are offering high-end facilities for buyers in the highincome group. The project will be completed within 24 months.”

Hubli may look a laggard, or a longterm buy, in the high-end sweepstakes. But as Hubli’s business and education clusters grow, it may well attract NRI flows and offer diverse options to premium buyers.

Burj AlHind looks good though not as good as SKS:),just joking

The height of Burj Al hind is not in public domain but there are speculations that it would be 140 metres,only a speculation.

I will give credit where it is due. Burj Al Hind is a beautiful project but SKS IS BETTER. There is no official data on its height in metres or feet.. There is lot of speculation by different people as to what its height is or should be depending on number of floors.

^^
Is SKS 132 metre,if it is what is its height in feet??

^^ around 430 feet..

Thanks Manju,its approximately 433 feet:cheers:

Looks like an entire new city is coming up at Derebail,Airport road.
If you look at MG road pictures that seems like another CBD.CBD away from the original CBD that is Hampankatta . Now a new residential enclave is on the rise in Derebai/Kuntikan,Kochady,Bondel region. Then there is another residential enclave in Shathinagar / Derekatte. In the North we have Surathkal/Kinnigoli.

another Mumbai is in the making:banana:

Another Mumbai in the making :rofl:

It's good that Mangalore is geared up for some good highrises but isn't it way too much to compare with Mumbai. If Mangalore is a new born baby then Mumbai is an 80 year old geek & this gap will always stay. If Mangalore ever becomes anything close to Mumbai, Mumbai will be New York by that time. Not to mention cities like Kolkata, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad or Bangalore which already has a much much higher skyline in the making and a much greater density of highrise & skyscraper structures.

I can understand buddy :okay:
But, on a serious note, Mangalore is doing good, better than most Tier II Cities of India.

For height info on highrise structures, the most accurate & reliable figures can be obtained from city corporation / municipal bodies who grant clearances & permissions. However, those are not easily accessibly by everyone so the next best source should be from the architects & developers themselves as they build the project. Newspapers / Magazine reports are generally based on infos provided from that source, so there's no reason to doubt that info.

Here, I found almost every article mentioning this as a 375 ft tower (114.3m), but the thread title has been formed by the info as per CTBUH mentioned height of 132m. Let me tell you guys, that forums like CTBUH, Emporis etc. data have often been found to be inaccurate as they have an universal form of equation to calculate such heights which doesn't hold true in every case.

For this building being a residential one, 132 meters seems highly unlikely for 36 floors, because then it would have an average floor-ceiling height in excess of 3.5m which seems absurd especially in India, as there are very few such projects (only some uber luxury condos with apartments priced in excess of 5-6 crores may have such ceiling heights); 114.3m seems very much likely with an average floor-ceiling height of around 3m + 6-7m (approx = 2 levels) to the helipad level.

This project has been entered in this thread India Rising | Skyscrapers & Highrises 100m+ (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1592911) as per height from news articles.

Here, I found almost every article mentioning this as a 375 ft tower (114.3m), but the thread title has been formed by the info as per CTBUH mentioned height of 132m.

132 m is the full structure height including basement. :)

Its difficult now, as the structural plan and provably MEP is in place by now, any alteration here will cause change in planning of Over Head Tanks(If it is Auto pneumatic pumps this problem is excluded) and Electrical Panel boards system.. and ofcoz the foundation system..

Mr Akash can enlighten more on this here

why builder is not rounding off this one to 40 floors?

I do not think this is going to happen. When I sent an email to Sanath Shetty of e mail stating that Mantri Pinnacle was going to be taller than SKS he e mailed me back just laughing it out and that records were meant to be broken. One thing I would state that Planet SKS is one of the top class high rises in the South . 132 metres of beauty and class. It beats all those existing 40 storied buildings in the south hands down. Let there be no doubts about that.
Sanath knows about this site. Hope he is reading it!
