Delighted to apologize for my earlier post which stated Mumbai to be far behind in the race to touch the skies from ground-zero. My cousin studying civil engineering confirms Lodha Group as the builders planning the tallest residential tower in Lower Parel.
This article on FinancialExpress puts the height to 1450 feets for about 117 storeys. It’s going to be way far above any other residential building the world over. Check this out for comparison. After the greatest engineering feat in modern times, the Bandra-Worli sealink, guess students around here will be studying this one for sure.
As expected it’s going to be served at a premium for the buyers. It’s slated to be ready by 2014. Am not sure if it’s a long wait comparing the towering rises coming up in Dubai in matter of months. Hope it’s a good time estimate considering the first ever tall experiment over Mumbai land mass. Waiting to see innovations in energy conservation, wind/solar power utilization to call it a green building. If these flat’s can be pegged around 7-8 crores, guess there’s going to be ample opportunity to make it fully sustainable on all fronts.
