^^A couple of news items did appear sometime back. Hopefully once the economy starts picking up, things will speed up for this project


I wonder how much their bunglows go for. There are no plans for the suburban units. bummer.

Would depend upon the size; taking a guess it could be anywhere upward of 2crore.

Well the TOI today talks about Anandapur

REACHING FOR THE SKY

At 550 feet, seven highrises coming up at Anandapur will be the tallest residential buildings in the city by 2011

The city is reaching for the clouds, quite literally. Kolkata’s skyline is going to climb 550 feet high by 2011 — up from 330 feet now — when the city’s tallest residential venture will be ready at Anandapur, off Eastern Metropolitan Bypass.

The complex will have two 45-storeyed and five 40-storeyed residential buildings constructed by Bengal NRI Complex Ltd, a consortium between a group of realtors and the state government. The Rs 2,000-crore project will take off this year-end and be completed by December 2011, said a realtor associated with the project.

Joining hands to make it the country’s best-known residential complex are four realtors who built South City on Anwar Shah Road — the tallest residential buildings in the city right now. Two other realtors have also joined them. The former had eyed the 65-acre area in the ’90s, long before they had even sketched the 330-foot-high South City project, with the tallest tower being 35-storeyed. But litigation had delayed the Anandapur project.

Now, the plans are ready for a model township and the construction of the seven skyscrapers and more than 50 plush bungalows will start by this December. These will together house 8,000 people.

The realtor group has taken up the matter with municipal commissioner Alapan Bandyopadhyay and apprised him of the minute details of the project before submitting a building sanction plan. As part of its corporate responsibility, the group has assured the civic authorities that it would construct roads and take care of the street lighting system in the vicinity of the complex. “We will spend Rs 15 crore for building the infrastructure in the area,” an official said.

To address safety concerns of buyers, the consortium will hire a US firm to subject the towers to all modern tests to check their structural stability, said architects associated with the project. “It will go through wind tunnel test to ensure that the towers can withstand mighty winds at such a height. This is a mandatory test for all skyscrapers in America,” said an architect.

Eco-friendliness will be a key feature of the complex, making it the city’s first green re s i d e n t i a l area. With its own sewage pumping s t at i o n and sewage treatment plant, waste water from all the buildings will be treated and recycled for gardening and washing purposes. “Rainwater harvesting will be a salient feature of the complex,” said S K Todi, one of the realtors. A car park wide enough for 5,000 cars and a commercial zone will be the other features.

Besides, a centralised refuse container will collect and dispose of the 4,652 kg waste generated by residents, who are expected to consume 12.53 lakh litre of water every day.

Wait,wait 40 and 45 floors. Wow, and I never new about this. Better go update Kolkata projects & construciton.

This is a cool project. But I think we need to wait for some more time to see some progress. Few days back I was around there but didn't see any activity :ohno:

Thats just awesome. Great update Samrat. So we are in 45 flr race now. I strongly believe Kolkata will be 60-80+ flr league within few years. :cheer:

Good updates Samrat.

And Sun, can you please delete post #5. This thread is a mess.

Anyway I found a larger render on Calcutta skyline.

Land filling is going on at the project site.......:cheers:

Sun, IU can you please change the title to either 'site prep' or 'U/C'.

What is the height in meters of the highest tower? Will this be the tallest highrise project in Kolkatta?

the height of the tallest one i.e. G+45 floors is 550 feet which is about 170 metres. Not sure which one will be the tallest by the the time it is built as there are few projects in pipeline. For instance, Diamond group's proposed one at Chowringee is 250 metres while one on bypass by LIC group is also about same height.

Not to mention the Unitech " Air " tower which is the only one under construction among the above towers.

What is the current status of this project. Can anyone give me the website please?

Nice, thanks for the update.

@ avisar: did they allow you to enter in???....bro, could u manage to take some pics on the progress of Eden Gardens?

Thank you very much. I am personally grateful to you for this favour.

The project is going on a very very slow pace !!! One and a half year and still doing the foundation work. what a progress!!

In any case, Avishar many many thanks for taking this initiative.:cheers:

I think the foundation process takes time. After that it should be quick. Anyway, thanks to avishar :cheers:

Thanks all.Yup construction is very slow,but i saw there was lots of activity,with lots of workers and concrete trucks.I guess the recession had caused this one to slow down.

No updates for about 5 months! Such an ambitious project for Kolkata but no updates in website as well. Project scrapped or what? :nuts:

Urbana,as of today.Cant say if all the towers is U/C,this is all i managed to see in this vast site.

Yes. But they are too lazy to even put up updates about project progress.

:)

I think this is a nice generic cialis (http://originalcialis.com) project....We just need to wait and we will see maybe a great suscces..:banana:

I think this is a nice project....We just need to wait and we will see maybe a great suscces..:banana:

There is no doubt about success. It is already a huge success.
Just check the bookings :banana:
A project of this stature & scale needs a solid 2-3 years to take shape (Take instance of South City). So I guess, the company's idea to complete Phase I (Residential towers) by Dec 2012 will actually stretch beyond. We will see the towers shaping up by 2013, not any earlier.

am not being cynical and may be its true that the phase I is fully sold out but at times the developers use these tactics of inflating numbers to advertise its success.

Yes absolutely true sidney,this tactic of "hurry just a few flats left" and "sold out" and more often than not hogwash.Only those few projects which actually update how many flats are sold and available are to be trusted.

Some months back a relative tried to buy a flat in Bata Riverside project,amd was said there is none available because almost all is sold out.After some prodding and name dropping he confessed there are lots of flats available.Apparently the Riverside project is finding very hard to find buyers.

URBANA as of now.

No idea man. L&T is the constructing this. But still running slow though this project is absolutely sold out.
