Yes, we all are happy having these skyscrapers coming up in our beloved city.

but how did you forget Kolkata(!) which comes next to Mumbai only.

By citing Hyderabad you are counting the chics which are not hatched yet.

Kolkata has currently the following skyscrapers under construction:

(a) 250 metre(54 floor) - diamond office building on Chowringee road
(b) 167 metre(46 floor) - (5 Nos.) and 150 metre(41 floor)(2 Nos.) Urbana buildings - at Anandapur, South-East Kolkata
(c) 150 metre - (2 Nos.) Westin Hotel and The V
(d) 40 floor - the Air
(e) 152 metre ( 2 Nos.) The Atmosphere
(f) 43-floor - 3rd tower of Oasis

Currently Kolkata has at least 35 buildings having more than 25 floors greater of which you will not find in any other city except Mumbai.

By the number of skyscrapers - present and future, Kolkata remains and will remain at No.2

Me too, It really stands out from the others. The other one that is really stunning is Unitech's Golf club that looked like so futuristic, ofcourse we don't know if they will really look like the renders.

EDIT: I don't know what happened, the above post doesn't correspond to my reply anymore. I was talking about SuperNova which is my favorite project in North India.

Humn...I agree to your points , however, Noida ( Delhi NCR) itself have 110 buildings of 25 floors + under construction together with many ready .
Gurgaon too have more than 30 towers already done with...( 25 floors Plus)...

Also, most of the twers are not just 25 floors or something they are more than 40 levels....
So yeah I believe Delhi NCR is right there on the map

I am just waiting for these new towers to come up here in Delhi NCR..

[Samrat]

I will be more than happy if you kindly give the list of these 25+ floor buildings in NOIDA which are already complete or TO. Please note that I am talking about completed 35 buildings in Kolkata and not U/C.

Still, I do not think NOIDA or Gurgaon have more than 35 buildings of 25+floors as of today(i.e. 27 November 2011). If so, please enlighten us with the complete list.

Thanks in advance for your list

[Master of Disguise]

Sure will....and as I said 100's of them are UNDER CONSTRUCTION...
Jaypee Kosmos in wish town Noida have 50 towers of 27-29 floors U/C( have reached 12-15 floors already) , then Unitech Grande project have almost 8 towers ...almost TO...then there is Celeste towers ...2 towers of 35 floors almost TO...also, 10 towers of imperial courts and calypso courts are done with ....( both having 25-29 floors each)....+ Jaypee Sun court( topped off) + many more


Gurgaon have 3 towers of DLF Belaire done, DLF Park princes 8 towers topped off, DLF Cybercity 2 towers ( 25 floors) , with big number of real skyscrapers UNDER CONSTRUCTION...


so yeah Delhi NCR do have a skyline. moreover in Delhi CP have 3 towers of the height mentioned with DLF Capital Greens well under construction ...and Raheja Phoenix coming up along with 3 tower by Parsvnath Builders of more than 40 levels...

@samrat

Im sorry I didn't know Calcutta joined the club too....I was more interested in striking skyscrapers than just "number of skyscrapers"...Now I'll give it number 4, Lets kick Hyderabad out, cuz they are not making any progress......Remember I'm talking about the future and not in terms of the number of skyscrapers, but rather in terms of drop dead gorgeous towers...Calcutta made it because of "The atmosphere".

1. Mumbai
2. GIFT
3. Delhi
4. Calcutta (Please excuse me IF you find it offensive that Im calling it that, the old name sounds much more cooler)

In the case of Mumbai, old name was intimidating, so I'm cool with the new one.

Its OK.

I knew that many buildings are coming up in NOIDA and Gurgaon but still they are lagging behind Kolkata in terms of No. of existing skyscraperss . Its always desirable to look for future but at the same time we should not ignore the present because present is the base of future.

GIFT is also in the making. My point was that Kolkata stands at No.2 at present. There are many players in the queue right now. so we don't know who will hold what rank.


Many people do not know that the first high rise building in India came up in Kolkata in the early 50's(New Secretariat building, 13 floors). As we all know Kolkata could not keep pace in terms of development with the time and had gone a back bencher.

Now the wind has changed direction and surely it will regain its past glory.

Some of the buildings which are coming up will be land mark not only in Kolkata but also in India. for instance, The Westin Hotel and V as well as The Atmosphere

Lastly, I am a resident of Delhi for the last 3 decades now and I think I am in a position to say its my city as well.

[Nilay]

OK,now stop this fight.
I want every Indian cities to have a prominent skyline.But a good skyline can't make our city a global city.Sometimes I visit chinese SSC forum & sorry to say but their tier-2 & tier-3 cities have much better infra than our metros.Isn't it a shame?
I think first we need to develop our villages so that the migration to cities become minimal.After that we need to improve infra of our cities.After that only we can talk about skyline.

Time to edit the thread title as 48fl*3 to Orb homes.

Orb website gives floor count as 48 floors.

I really wish Delhi/UP/Haryana could plan a 500/600 metre tower, one of the world's tallest if possible in the NCR.

Interesting.the video mentions its 60 floors at 0:35.

[deekshith]

That's a typo it seems because its website is still showing it as a 66 floor tower

[IU]

The central tower will have 60 habitable floors with apartments for sale, so that's why their ads have always mentioned 60 floors. Doesn't make much sense to me but that's just how Indian developers have always advertised their projects.

Floors #1 and 2 will have retail space, #20 - a business center, #46 - a club for partying, #65 - an observatory and #66 will have an open air restaurant+pool.
