Hindustani · February 6th, 2009, 04:56 AM

nice development. I just wonder why they had to stop at 49-fls exactly instead of 50-fls.

the building has topped out since Feb 09, no further rise in height after that.

the building next to ITC has been like that for the last 4 years. yup, close to 30 floors. but no work has been happening since 2005. may be some legal issue.

i have to upload quite a few updates. will do it tomo.

Great pics Kalyan...

though apart from the height factor the project isn't very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.

kalyan · April 20th, 2009, 04:40 PM

thanx for all the appreciation, my bros.

i agree to that, nothing great about the design. also making all the 4 blocks stand in a straight line wasnt a gr8 idea at all. they could have easily done away with one tower and made three towers of 50-55 storeys each without compromising much on the FSI and the construction time.

mmmbry · April 21st, 2009, 07:45 AM

Is it just me or does every new high rise in Mumbai look like 30 years before it's time?

TdotTdot · April 21st, 2009, 05:41 PM

agreed

but thats because of all the concrete that goes into our skyscrapers... and also because most of them are residential.

I love it how buildings are constructed so fast in India, in Pakistan there are only a few projects underconstruction in a speed like these.
Congrats to India on your fast development!
