Thats awesome.

I consider that independent confirmation. So far, the design and very existence of the tower was only released on the architect's website. Now the builders themselves have confirmed it even though it is not yet advertised.

Guys, for the record, I called them and got a hold of one of their architects. He confirms that the tower is indeed a very real proposal in an advanced stage of design, but directed me to the builders for more information.

I'll try calling Indiabulls next week

Here's another rendering of the Hafeez Contractor-designed midrises:


They look a lot more sleek in that clearer rendering. They should complement the towers coming up nearby quite nicely

[Hindustani]

Hafeez has always done a fantastic job with low to mid rises. gets quite creative with limited budget. That slanted mid rise is coming up real nicely in u/c images.

The One India Bulls Centre now has a website-> clicky


From it, a layout of the Jupiter mills -





Still no signs of the tower. But check this map out -




It looks like India Bulls also owns that piece of land between Elphinstone road and Fitwala road since it's marked in green. That could very well be where the JM tower will rise.

anyways, here's part of a render of the retail development (mall) that'll come up in the Jupiter mills compound-



and a couple of renders of the One India Bulls Centre-

IU, great find bhai!

[phaedrus]

indeed.

[Jai]

Great find IU

Some more confirmation that both Elphinstone and Jupiter Mills towers are in the pipeline. From this press release (pdf):

MARKETING OF ONE OF INDIA’S TALLEST BUILDING AWARDED
TO HOUSTON-BASED RICHARDS/CARLBERG

Agency to Promote Three Projects in Mumbai’s New Central Business District
HOUSTON (August 30, 2007) — Central Mumbai in India is emerging as the
new financial business centre of the fifth most populous metropolitan area in
the world and will soon be home to one of the tallest building in the country – a
luxury condominium. The builder and one of India’s leading real estate
companies, Indiabulls Real Estate Limited (IBREL), has selected Houston-based
Richards/Carlberg as its agency of record to promote the structure along with

project – One Indiabulls Centre, which will offer more than 2 million square feet
of office and retail space. The agency currently is developing one of the first
marketing materials which is 20-page fold out color brochure that outlines the
key features of the Centre including its LEED (Leadership in Energy

taxi, rail and proximity to the airport; its state-of-the-art security with smart card
readers, a monitoring room, alarm systems, fire detection and more; and a host
of amenities like a fitness centre, concierge service and several eateries. Similar
marketing materials will be created for the 60-story commercial office building
and the 75-story condominium, both of which will be certified Platinum Green
Buildings. Creative development for advertising to follow.

Which two buildings are they talking about? Yup:

The India Bulls Centre has to be one of HC best office developments after his designs in Gurgoan.

Brilliant!
