Not Mumbai but Navi Mumbai

Interesting looking but is it for real?

all these weird looking and eye-catching projects are being proposed, but has even a single one of these been approved and is under construction???

***Suncity*** · December 15th, 2006, 05:48 AM

If you are speaking of the above project then that is also my question.

However Mumbai does seem to have a high conversion rate from proposals to reality in case of private buildings. The number of highrise buildings under construction is pretty impressive (although the designs may not be).

Is it possible for someone from Mumbai to take construction update photos on a regular basis like Imre does for Dubai projects. Also, can someone please take photos of the interior of these residential buildings/flats under construction or already built. This would be nice for us Indians living abroad to really enjoy the beauty of these amazing projects and growth in Mumbai. Thank you.

man that is realy shitty news about daravi.not completely suprising.daravi put off, ind prod growth down, eco forcast down to 7% for next year.Now its my turn for doom 'n' gloom.Just when i thought it was all going to go smoothly.has the country realy begun to get serious about stuff ? Is the question the international community will now be asking, again
Is the Bandra Kurla complex also social housing ?.IE stuff that the developers have no vested interest in doing well?If its purely private than they can make their money back without fucking people up.

(Edit...But just as S&P predict 7.5 % growth next year credit suisse predict 10.5 % by 2008 .Whatever...)

Dharavi project hasn't been put off. its just been put on hold for 2 months.
And the economy is firing from all cylinders. I dont want to comment more than that.

Not to raise hopes but here is something for the weekend. While this may or may not be true, it is obvious that builders are at least thinking tall.

Shreepati Heights, Mumbai
Developer: Shreepati Group
Architect: Reza Kabul
The two wings of this 75 floors residential building
will have 26 elevators

Naga_Solidus · December 16th, 2006, 05:43 AM

Shreepati group, being the guys behind Shreepati Arcade, are known for thinking big. This one is probably a bit more likely than you think, considering the construction company's track record.

Jai · December 16th, 2006, 10:14 AM

With Shreepati Arcade, they definately thought outside the box to get that building built. Reza Kabul's work (well, post Shreepati Arcade onward) is pretty good. Can't wait to hear more about this project

Jai · December 16th, 2006, 11:00 AM

has an article on the new draft housing code. Well worth a read:
CW Special Report: Shelter
The government of Maharashtra's housing policy is a step in the right direction, but whether it can solve Mumbai's housing woes is debateablel

***sudheeshnairs*** · December 16th, 2006, 03:09 PM

What is the present permissible FSI in Mumbai? Isn't it in the range of 3-4?

The report says outside municipal areas, the FSI is increased from 0.5 to 1!! To me it appears as little ridiculous. What is the issue in having FSI/FAR of 3 which can be increased up to 4 like in whole of Kerala? (Anyway present Govt of Kerala seems thinking backwards when they plan to reduce it to 2.5 or so. Already in Kochi corporation area it is rolled back to 1.5 citing infrastructural constraints. Thankfully no such issue in Trivandrum corporation so far since infra is o.k.)

I feel in CBD of Mumbai FSI is high, say 3-4, otherwise how is 30-40 floors possible?. See, in the page posted by Jai, there is some 25 floor slender building in a very small land area. Defnitely the FSI is around 4, if not more.

Bombay Boy · December 16th, 2006, 04:43 PM

the fs in the island city is 1.33, in suburbs 0.5 or 1.0. the slender buildings are built thanks to tdr where old buildings are allowed to be reconstructed with theoretically infinite fsi

***Suncity*** · December 16th, 2006, 05:32 PM

Yes, those tall thin buildings are becoming a Mumbai feature.

One of the costliest condos in Mumbai?

Nishika Terraces on Worli Seaface

***Suncity*** · December 16th, 2006, 05:59 PM

Yet another proposal?

Imperial Heights, Andheri West

Hindustani · December 16th, 2006, 06:36 PM

Sun..................thanks. 3 x 40F. wow!!

Jai....................Looks like they are preliminary designs in a working stage. Hopefully, soon we'll get to see final renderings. The thing with Bombay is, the builders/designers cooperate well and act fast unlike other cities in India.

Holy crap! Three towers of 65 stories each and that too in Andheri!

It does look like a prerendering/proposal though. I sincerely hope the building designs themselves are not finalized. Such signiature towers shouldn't look so... bland. Though the plan overlaid on the ground seems to suggest that they would have interesting lanscaping.

On second thought, if the blue is glass and not concrete, than it should look decent, though uninteresting. If it were concrete, what a shame!

Any idea who the builder and/or architect is? Where'd you find this Sun?
