MAHALAXMI | Planet Godrej | 181 m | 51 fl | Completed - Page 3

When I said renderings, I meant the rendering of the building itself, and not the surroundings, or the site perspective photoshoped BS. I'm hoping the chawls GO as well...soon. As far as chawls go, I'd rather they re-develop the BDD chawls into more liveable buildings and re-develop the area into a beautiful low-rise neighbourhood. I'm thinking gardens, parks, pedestrianized streets, walkways, etc. With all the high-rises in the background, the south-facing view of worli and beyond would look great.

More recent updates have already been posted, but for fwiw, heres a pic taken by me in early Aug:

Have to say, I find this building to be ridiculously ugly... it's like the worst kind of 1960s UK council block transported into the middle of Bombay...

The tower was constructed in five pieces. The Reason? Probably it was too wide to be constructed in one piece.

bhargavsura · November 25th, 2008, 04:52 AM

It may look bad from a distance but up close it is not bad and will look great once the cladding has started.

I think it also has to do with the fact that occupancy can start once a certain wing is complete.

Flats in the first wing started at around 4000 sq/ft, most have been sold for around 16000/sq foot, and there are a few still remaining at 30,000 sq foot.

The building did look like a ghetto without the cladding but will start to look much better when completed.

And you didn't take pics

(not of the party, though I also find any photos of generally debauchery to be amusing)

reached the place at 2 am. dont carry my camera around in the night

Jai · January 6th, 2009, 04:47 PM

no excuse

Not sure if any one cares, but the "hollow" floors, are emergency areas in case of fire(so you see them every 5 floors or so)

Also the flat horizontal panels on the rear of the building contain the dry areas (where you can hang clothes - so they aren't visible externally)

On the front, in Towers 1 & 2, there is a gap between the windows and the flat panels. Open space that is inaccesible. (unless you wanna jump)

In Towers 3 & 4, it is actually a balcony.

This building doesnt look half as bad in real life. i have seen it from local train and actually it looks nice.
