Just got confirmed news from Lokhandwala that the contractor for Minerva has been finalised as L&T this week! So now that the excavation is almost done looks like we`ll be seeing L&T cranes there soon!!

L&T must be building half of the supertalls in the city.

i used to work for L&T Engg & Const... gr8 company and focus on QA... no wonder they bag substantial chunks of projects in the gulf... including w/ Trident and Nakheel...

[Chika101]

Excellent news about L&T being on board for this project.

How is L&T doing the construction of the building? I mean I thought that the builders would have their own people for the construction. But is it hiring L&T as a contractor to implement the construction?

EDIT: lol, was meant to post this in Mumbai Cityscapes.

Mods please delete.

Yup, The builders essentially these days are more "developers" than builders. They create the opportunity on the specific land parcel. Market, brand and overlook the project- But the actual physical construction contract is outcourced to a construction company. That way everyone can use their resources and core competence towards ensuring the project is done well and in a timely manner. So as it was pointed out earlier L&T has infact undertaken the contract for many of the luxury supertalls in south-central Mumbai.

Here is a satellite image of the site from Terraserver, I'm really not sure of the date it was taken. But may be a few months old I presume -
