Lanco Hills | Multiple Towers - Mixed Use | Under Construction

[Babji]

would any one know the location of this project?
is it the Gachibowli junction on old Bombay road?

[ramkan]

By the details on their website, it should be pretty close to what you described.

Your right Hyderabad is the city to watch, new airport, new expressway and now Lanco Hills etc.

Just hope the city gets this 90-floor tower.

What happened to The Obelisk designed by Hafeez for Hyderabad too? That was an odd design for a tall tower.

I withdraw my statement about the lower classes as vaild points were made.

It seems like Hafeez's ambitious Obelisk is shelved for good except from his website. That 60-story tower suppose to come up inside the metropolitan region of a city that has the lowest road density for a mega city in the India.

However, this 90-story Tower is a 74 story jump from the current tallest Babu Khan estates (16 stories). & the skepticism of the SSC members of it becoming a reality is justified. But this 90-F tower is coming up way outside the metropolitan area in the skyscraper zone & we can see Lanco execitive saying the approval is just the formality. So this mean in skycraper zone fire & other basic civic amnities will be set up according to the height of the skyscrapers & not that skyscrapers height will be decreased to meet the requirements of civic amneties.

In the end, Hyd might just fulfill its long time dream of becoming the next Singapore or next Kaula Lumpur

couple of weeks ago, AP had sold 25 acre at Nanakramguda, adjacent to Kokapet, for Rs 4.5 crore per acre to an American developer. The Lanco Group bought 100 acre at Rs 4.25 per acre a year ago. On Thursday, outbidding others, Hyderabad-based Kailash Ganga Constructions bought about 4.45 acre at Rs 14.45 crore per acre.

It looks like land acquisition, a major issue in India, has already been dealt with in this case. I'm not sure about the whole approvals process though.

[Hindustani]

Its August already. No sign of Lanco Hills & 90F Tower official and final renderings as they have promised that by August, they will finalize everything including the renderings.

Seems like Lanco is following in the footsteps of APIIC 60 story Twin Towers. No rendering but they expect twin towers to be ready by '08 when new airport opens which is less than 2 yrs now.

Funny how unprofessionally these major construction giants work. Besides Hafeez, hiranandani, Raheja & Sahara, I dont trust any other real estate giant to build supertall at this point.

[Naga_Solidus]

Relax, it's only the 5th. Perhaps we should give them a couple of weeks.

And BTW, they were handing out Lanco Hills brochures at an NRI gathering in Socal back in July.

this just seems too good to be true...

That's because it is. I doubt this project will go through.

[kashyap3]

as much as I want to see this become a reality, reality itself indicates otherwise

[Hindustani]

If this Lanco 90F Super tall tower indeed gets approved & thats a 'big If' at this point, it will put Hyderabad into different league altogether from other Indian cities. I just cannot understand whats taking so long since the initial announcement has been more than 2 months ago.

At this point, it all depends on how serious Lanco, GoAP are. I seriously hope this doesn't got the Obelisk way. All it'll take is one 90F structure to come up & than everyone will follow the lead.

[kashyap3]

i doubt that
architects arent really height oriented and would rather spread out their buildings over many acres

only places like mumbai will force architects to build vertically, due to the land shortage

[VaastuShastra]

There is another reason why a city with space would build high - prestige and charecter - something planners dont seem to be thinking about right now.

Obelisk would be something truely Hyderabadi.

I actually know the vice president of Lanco Hills. He is a class mate of my dad's and his name is Baskar Rao.

He came to Long Beach and gave us a presentation at the American Telugu Association 2006. And I asked as much I could about the project. So if you guys have any questions, feel free to ask.

*Those renders are old, they changed the plan from 60 to 90. There was a joke at the meeting to why not 108 (highest residential tower in the world, Abu Dhubai). And they said it's certainly possible, but they only plan 90 for now.

*They will have hydrolics for high pressure water system.

*They will have their own infrastructure for fire fighting... 65 meters high crane which extends another 20-30 meters. Fire hydrants on every floor.

*Although it would suck to run down 90 stories.

*Onsite electricity production

*The site will be more of a stretch than a square. And two 6 lanes roads run parallel on either side. So it will be like seeing a scrolling view of 30+ towers.

*It is in between ISB & Gachibowli. Jubliee hills area

*They don't plan to have any schools there... lots of people asked. Delhi public school is just nearby.

*They will provide all appliances with the apartment

*They don't garauntee your money back if the project doesn't get finished.

*They will create an artificial lake in between the site, which feeds off another lake nearby.

*Each tower will have an Home Theatre system, and one massive multiplex coming up in the mall. Entry for residential and commercial buildings will be different. Each tower will also have a Gym, and other facilities.

The top floors will be going for 2-3 crores now. They expect to sell out in one week of them opening it to booking.

Thanks,
Sravan

Firstly - Is it a serious project or is it one of those projects "being considered"?.

Secondly - Who are the architects?

Thirdly - When is the work scheduled to start (if at all) ?

This is pretty serious, the project has already been sanctioned to Lanco Hills by the government.

Lanco is using their own engineers, but the architecture might be outsourced...

Work is going to start in september and Phase 1 which includes the 90 story tower will be completed by 2008.

In september the project will be finalized.

[Luckystreak]

So, I think we can expect the renderings by September.

Thanks for the info Sravan..nice that we have someone onboard who can give us information otherwise not available.
