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

The project tender has been approved. I don't know if the project itself was approved... We have to wait and see in September.

[sravan2569]

Glad to help, let me know if you guys have any specific questions, I probably didn't mention everything.

Also Lanco is going filmi also...

Thanks for the info, bro!

Could you ask if possible if they are using local or foreign architects for the project?

Thanks buddy. So we are still hopeful. Good news. September it is then. It is just that after Obelisk scenario, its hard to believe any supertall can actually come up in any Indian city other than Bombay let alone Hyderabad.

It is always nice to have an "INSIDE MAN". Thanks for sharing the info. Keep on top of Lanco Hills. Whatever info you can get, share it immediately please. You are our inside man.

My mom went there and got me a brochure with a location map on it. Too bad I don't have a scanner, otherwise I'd have uploaded it by now. And BTW, thx for the inside info.

I live in Roseville, CA we drove down south for the convention. And the people presenting are from Hyderabad. So I can't get any new info, just what they told me there.

They mentioned Hafeez. But I think it might be joint production also, because Lanco has the Engineers, so they have to approve the designs. They said this project's probility of completion should be based on Lanco's history. It has completed 100% of all projects it has taken up.

Awesome

If it's HC, then maybe hopefully wishfully it is based on the Obelisk design....? A guy can dream....

after few looks at different times, I'm not too sold on Obelisk design at this point. Its sort of dated early '90s design. I'd like to see hafeez & lanco engineers come up with something groundbreaking like Noida Tower in terms of sleekness. After all we are aiming for 90 stories here. Its has to be a landmark.

[Jai]

Well, whatever it is, I do hope they go with an Indian architect. There are too many ugly Dubaish knock-offs in the world. And quite frankly, the original 60 storey renderings are of that style.

However one feels about the stylistic designs of HC and other major Indian architects, they are at least uniquely Indian

[harsh1802]

Hey i have a query guys.....if any one of u have an idea abt it......wht's the ht. we are looking at?

If it is 90 floors, then say 3.5 meters per floor = 315 meters / 1034 feet (approx.) .

And if they are planing to have a communications antenna at the top, tht wld be an additional 25 to 30 feet.

So we are looking at......340 meters / 1042 feet.

Tht's cool right!?

[Naga_Solidus]

Ya that's pretty cool.

Usually, the floor height in India is 3m for a residential structure, but it's usually 3.5 in Hyd due to the weather (high celiings help dissipate heat from the occupants).

So yeah, 315m-340m is pretty good for a residential structure. Heck, they may even go for 4m per floor, or 360m+.

[sravan2569]

They said 3.5 to 4 meters per floor, I think...

[harsh1802]

4 m per floor wld be wonderful.......making it 360 m and another 25/30 m for the antenna....tht is 390 m / 1280 feet.

Tht's around 90 to 100 m less than Shanghai Financial tower.

But for a residential tower.....this is really impressive.

Hoep they wld come out with around 1300 feet. Tht wld be crazy.....

[kashyap3]

do they count the antenna in storeys as well?
is it 90 storeys + antenna or 90 storeys including the antenna

[harsh1802]

They don't count an antenna on atower as a floor.....as far as i know.

[pding]

it seems like a serious project and i think it will get through. but i'm still keeping my fingers crossed on the 90 florey tower!?!?!?!?

[kashyap3]

my thoughs exactly

lets hope this project pulls through
