Lanco Hills | Multiple Towers - Mixed Use | Under Construction

[mayur_k100]

i don't believe in all these proposals, only in ground work pictures. there are hundreds of new development proposals everyday, only couple materialize

[ramkan]

Lanco Hills Technology Park Private Limited, belonging to the Lanco group, proposes to build one of the largest integrated IT parks in Hyderabad at a cost of Rs 4,000 crore.

Project work was expected to begin next month. The Hyderabad Property Project was likely to be completed in four years.

According to Lanco group vice-chairman, G Bhaskara Rao, the project will consist of 8 million square feet (sft) of IT-related built-up area, an equally large residential complex, 2.5 million sft shopping mall, 12 multiplex theatres, two star hotels and one tower for office space.

Lanco has purchased 100 acres from the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) at a cost of Rs 427 crore in Manikonda, about 18 km from the upcoming Hyderabad International Airport, for the construction of the IT park.

The "Walk to Work" concept that would provide the occupants the flexibility of living within walking distance of their work place will be provided in the proposed project, Rao told Business Standard.

He said that the company would be investing Rs 500 crore in the project, of which Rs 375 crore had already been secured as loan from a consortium of banks led by Punjab National Bank.

The project would be completed in two phases and the first phase is expected to completed in two years.

Lanco has applied to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for a no-objection certificate to construct buildings.

Rao said that the company had so far received AAI approval for 15 buildings out of the 28 buildings applied for.

While the residential space will comprise apartments from studios to three-bedroom apartments, the commercial space will have amenities such as modern fitness and recreation centres, health clinics, food courts, cafeterias, banking and foreign exchange facilities.

Retail space is intended to be a one-stop shopping and recreational space for people working as well as staying at the place.

Lanco proposes to build high-rise residential buildings of 20 to 25 floors.

"We also plan to construct a building with 70 floors, which would make it one of the tallest residential buildings in southern India," Rao said.

The company expects to enter into a development agreement with APIIC by next month and thereafter appoint an EPC contractor to execute the project.

It has already appointed separate architects and designers for the IT park and the housing project.

Slightly diff from what we heard earlier - but still, its good to know its "ON".

The HIAL runways are aligned in East-West direction. Manikonda is at least 18 KM up North of HIAL.
Obtaining approvals from AAI should not be a problem.
The 70 floor bldg seems to have been pushed to phase 2.

70F is still quite respectable, esp since it will definetly open the floodgates for skyscraper construction outside of Mumbai and set off a MASSIVE one-upmanship race in South India.

Also, even with 70F, they can easily crack 300m if the build it with a spire and high ceilings.

8million sqft of IT space?

wow!!! this'll make it the biggest tech park in India by a long shot!!

this project is awesome - 70 storeys is not to be sneezed at - most indian cities don't have many 20+ storeyed building, and this will take HYD into the spotlight like never before..

hopefully like Naga said, this'll trigger a competition in South India - great for all of us..

cheers..

70 floors!!! i think that's a beast. don't forget all the infra hurdles that have to be passed: water, power, emergency facilities, etc etc. it will be a huge task. also, 8 million square feet is enormous. hopefully the concept of not wasing hundreds of acres of land for IT parks and instead going for high rises becomes highlighted with this project though i think it's a little too late with so many IT parks already sanctioned.

Also, if they build a 70F building in Hyd (remember, Lanco is a very large and reputable company), other builders in Hyd will definetly want to overtake Lanco. For example, The GS Realtors building (Obelisk) is currently set to be 60F/220m, but if Lanco builds a 310m building (280m inhabitable + 30m spire), GS Realtors will probably increase the Obelisk's floor height and/or add a spire.

Of course, the Obelisk is probably a bit less likely than Lanco's building (GS isn't as big or reputable as far as I'm aware). Also, the APIIC Tower (60F) just might go into high gear (or they may go back to the 80F plan they had a while back). However, since it's a gov't owned entity, APIIC probably can't be expected to be as dedicated as Lanco due to their respective reputations.

Perhaps Satyam will try and beat Lanco, with its own commercial skyscraper (70F/335m Satyam Tower, anyone?)...if they ever end up employing that many people.

Either way, this is going to lead to demands for more FSI and against height restrictions on Chennai and B'lore.

• In terms of power, I'm sure Lanco has plans for on-site generators and the like in the event of a power failure.
• I'm not sure abt water, but if they used greywater for hand washing and space-style vaccum toilets, they'll be able to conserve a lot of it.
• As far as emergency facilities are concerned, I feel they should build safety shelters in the main tower's sky lobbies (like in the upcoming Freedom Tower), and as suggested by Babji in the Hyd projects thread, all of the occpants should be provided with gas masks and other emergency equipment (especially the ones in the signature tower).

I agree with the space utilization part, it's important to conserve farmland in India due to food production concerns, and because India's population density is about the same as Japan's, 336ppl/sq. km in India and 338ppl/sq. km in Japan.

70 floors seems close to the count Jai and I did a long time ago.

Hyderabad has never seen such a huge project and that 70 floors structure will be awesome. Have they started advertising for selling the huge space being built? will it be completed in four years? Are u sure that there will be no further modifications in the plans? 4000 crores project and that they have just closed 500 crores. What r the plans mooted for raising the required funds?

From the article:

"We also plan to construct a building with 70 floors, which would make it one of the tallest residential buildings in southern India," Rao said.

The company expects to enter into a development agreement with APIIC by next month and thereafter appoint an EPC contractor to execute the project.

It has already appointed separate architects and designers for the IT park and the housing project.

If I am reading this correctly, the tower has already been designed, and seperate architects are to design the IT park and the rest of the complex.

Thus the tower very well might be this one:


While the rest of the boring looking towers in the original renderings are to be (re)designed. We should try to find out who the EPC contractor is once they appoint one. They may have more construction details (heights, etc.) on their website.

Even if they achieve fifty percent of the envisaged project it will be great.Hope they commence and complete the project as per schedule as after 2010 it will be difficult to sell or lease office space.

Airport master plan submitted for final nod
45 p.c. of HADA area out of bounds for construction activity * High-rise promotion zone has no height curbs on buildings * Ground+3 floors allowed in medium-rise promotion zone

HYDERABAD: The HUDA has completed yet another major task when it submitted the draft master plan for the 459 sq.km Hyderabad Airport Development Authority (HADA) to Government for final approval.
Draft plan : As per the draft plan, 45 per cent of HADA area is out of bounds for any residential or construction activity in accordance with G.O. 111 issued in 1996. When HADA was incorporated in 2003, the G.O. 111 area comprising catchment areas of Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar was named bio-conservation zone, HUDA officials clarified. However, exception has been given to educational and other institutional activities in the bio-conservation zone where only 5 per cent of the site area could be used for construction. while the remaining is left free. Floriculture and horticulture activities are allowed in the area.

In the high-rise promotion zone, there will be no height restriction and sky scraper zone for residential, commercial, small scale industries' purpose would be allowed along the national and State highways, namely, Bangalore, Sagar Road, and Srisailam.

In the medium-rise promotion zone, only Ground+3 floors for all activities would be allowed and in work centres zone, commercial and industrial activities would be allowed with no height restriction on buildings. Though no residential activity is allowed here, under land-pooling scheme, 100 acre layouts would be allowed for residential purpose.

In low-rise promotion zone, residential with G+1 floor and commercial and other activities with G+2 floors would be allowed. In this zone, only 20 per cent of the site is to be used for construction and the minimum plot size should be about 1,000 sq.m.

In the recreational zone, 10 per cent of area could be utilised for construction. In the air funnel zone, height restriction would prevail up to 15 km east and west of the airport and 8 km towards south and north.

An NOC from Hyderabad International Airport Ltd. is mandatory for undertaking development activity in this zone. Norms for usage of land are being marked for another 70 sq.km area comprising Ibrahimpatnam, Kalasa, Ramdaspalli, Chintapalli, added subsequently to HADA area.
