Updates after 6 months

Compared to pics posted earlier, volume of work has increased. Several pits have been dug filled with water and labourers are busy making iron grids.
Asked an on site labour & here's what he had to say -
'barshar pore bhit kora shuru hobe. 60 tala building hobe ekhane, bhit kortei 15-18 maash lagbe (as it is a very tall tower), puro shesh hote 4 saal lagbe.

So expecting it by 2016. BTW, this ia a project by a consortium comprising of Diamond Group, Mani Group & Sattva Group (Bangalore).

@ Samrat!

Great updates

BDW, is it 54 or 60? any update on that? will it be around the same height as the Imperial Towers in Mumbai?

samrat_m · August 17th, 2012, 02:35 PM

The labourer said 60 floors (little exaggeration in his layman idea), but I believe the builders will stick to the original plan of 54 floors, 250 mts, unless there is a change in their plan regd which we have no idea.

raj145_91 · August 17th, 2012, 11:16 PM

wow!! this is great.......... has been the LIC Tower project (50 floors) cancelled??

India Rulz · August 25th, 2012, 06:49 AM

Cool updates man, anyways, can't they make i BEFORE 2016, I mean, 'buro hoe young & sexy jinish decte ki bhalo lage?????'

samrat_m · November 2nd, 2012, 11:18 PM

"THE 42" -This is the name of the Project, as per its address at 42B Jawaharlal Nehru Road. And it is a 55 storied tower.
The architect of the project is Hafeez Contractor.
This is not a sole Diamond Group Project; In fact, it is more of a Mani Group - Sattva Group project, as they are the controlling stakeholders in it.

BES Consultants reports that this project is a luxury residential one.

ITD CEMENTATION INDIA LTD also reports this as a residential highrise.

Quote:

Installation of Cast-in-situ Bored Concrete Piles for Residential High Rise Building – The 42 at 42B Chowringhee Road, Kolkata for Chowringhee Residency Pvt. Ltd.

Both the above companies are currently involved in the construction of the project in some ways. Several realty portals like Envision Realty also refer to this as a residential development.

OTOH, Economic Times & MAGICBRICKS refer to this as a commercial development.

Quote:

The Mani Group and Bangalore-based Sattva Group collectively bought a controlling stake in the project entailing development of 250-metre tall plush commercial structure on 42, Chowringhee Road, next to Tata Centre, from Diamond Group director Amarnath Shroff.

So it is anybody's guess as to what this is going to be.

samrat_m · November 2nd, 2012, 11:33 PM

& now "for your eyes only"

5 renders from Hafeez Contractor's website (

to him).
Dunno, which one is final but whichever it is I'm happy

. The following renders have been arranged according to their probability of taking shape. Design I has the maximum chances, Design V has the least.

DESIGN I - Night

Day

DESIGN II

DESIGN III

DESIGN IV

& DESIGN V

samrat_m · November 2nd, 2012, 11:42 PM

The project name now should ideally be

CHOWRINGHEE | THE 42 | 55 floors | U/C.

sidney_jec · November 3rd, 2012, 12:37 AM

am disappointed.

they are typical Hafeez Contractors nightmarish designs. Thanks though Samrat for digging them out

Sumanb · November 3rd, 2012, 07:16 AM

Design 1 looks best. Good effort Samrat.

studdmanster · November 3rd, 2012, 09:19 AM
