CHOWRINGHEE | THE 42 | 245m | 62 fl | Residential | U/C - Page 6

IMO the original design looked way better,but then that was designed for a commercial building,and this is a residential one.

Great info Samrat,thanks for digging this up.

sidney_jec · November 3rd, 2012, 10:10 PM

So its now a residential building in Chowringhee CBD? FTW

avishar · November 3rd, 2012, 11:06 PM

I think i read residential in samrat's latest update.However another source has mentioned commercial too.Lets see what does it turn out to be.

Thanx for the update samrat

. This is going to be the highest skyscraper in Kolkata. Designs 3 & 4 looks great.

Any idea whether piling work has started or not?

Is it really under construction?

shuvro · November 10th, 2012, 05:32 PM

None of them appear brilliant. Moreover, will not fit in with the rest of the building. Strange choice.

All the designs in the new renders are of a commercial tower.
I would prefer this tower to remain a commercial one. Kolkata needs many more like this.
They should have stuck to the old design. I do not find the new ones impressive at all.

anirban pal · November 22nd, 2012, 10:38 PM

thanks samrat da....i think the design no 1,2 & 4 is much better than the other designs..this 3 design is properly matched with other highrise building designs in kolkata....!!

Aritra Das · November 23rd, 2012, 03:35 AM

what happened to the earlier design.....these are nowhere near it!

So the floors have increased to 65, great !!

BengaliTiger · November 26th, 2012, 08:39 AM

Can they cut down the top part which is looking like as if they are advertising for McDonald's. The top is just crappy.!!!

studdmanster · November 26th, 2012, 11:45 AM

To me the top part looks more like a greenhouse... :wierd:

samrat_m · November 26th, 2012, 05:35 PM

Just wait for this building to start taking shape, and u'll find how awesome it looks. Actual effect cannot be understood by renders.
The giant arch on top, which would be equivalent to about 3 floors high, will most probably be used as an observation deck, or a state of the art club (if the project is residential).

Is the source reliable? Although I am ecstatic with this news, but a little bit skeptic. Anyways, is there any update on the foundation work status? Is it started or they are still stacking the materials? Can't wait to see the construction take off..bcoz that's when we can actually be sure about its floor height.
