weird, if I didn't know, I would never guess that first photo was taken 300m up a building!

[el palmesano]

haha, I was to say the same

[n20]

PR at 305 m.
The 73rd floor is at 292.80 m above GL (ground level).
The 12m steel columns are for the 74th and 75th floor; so we get 305 m presently.
Above that it's expected there'll be the 20m crown.

Deekshith explains below:

Plus the steel structure is following the lines of core walls and it is as thick as core wall itself.

A bit eerie the way the light shines on her / him.

Some of the key facts of this tower:

Mumbai's single largest concrete pour in 24 hours = 1600 Cu.m
Total steel used = 70000 tonnes.
2-3 columns can carry as high as 12000 tons of weight.
World's first residential building to use M200 concrete
World's largest self compacting concrete pour = >240000 Cu.m
World's tallest atrium = >200m

+1 - I wasn't aware that the developer was building in-house. Wonder what made them choose that route rather than hand it over to a tested contractor like L&T?
