-------==--=--==------- Firstly Dynamix Group's Orchid Woods, Goregaon (East): this is the rendering from the builder's website: http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/2562/1qc2.jpg This is one from a property website. Looks somewhat different -- like no spire, larger podium, better landscaping, etc.: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1...umbuildqr3.jpg It has a larger podium than the first rendering: 8 storey podium + 48 storey tower + 2-3 storey penthouse. In total 58-59 storeys tall. Who knows which rendering is the correct one. Personally, I'm going with the top (spired) one, as it appeared on the Developer's website -------==--=--==------- Now on to Oberoi Constructions's updates: From their new website, it seems that Oberoi Woods, Goregaon is confirmed to be the 'old' design (below, left) and not the 'new' design that appeared on Hafeez Contractor's website (below, right): http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/6439/1138d8dsa7.jpg http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/1333/4bk9.jpg As also evidenced by this u/c pic from this month, posted in the cityscapes thread: http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/7...rpotdarkm5.jpg The website also has some hitherto unseen pics of the landscaping of the project: http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/6...dsview1bl8.jpg http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/1...dsview2nc8.jpg All in all, its too bad. The original buildings look bland. The new ones would have been striking. But I guess time/budget constriants forced the developer to go with the old plan. ======= Oberoi Commerz http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3...iew1nl1nr4.jpg ======= Oberoi Sky Heights, Andheri (West) is looking a lot better than its renderings: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/5...ghts4nj6pl.jpg I see only one tower though? http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/7...htview2tl7.jpg http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3...htview4jt2.jpg ======= While not looking like its 'old' rendering, Oberoi Springs, Andheri (West) also looks different from the 'new' rendering below: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1...2e77726ez0.jpg This is what they have on their website: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/7...gsview1oh0.jpg http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/5...gsview2sg5.jpg http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/8...gsview3rg9.jpg ======= Here's another view of Splendor, Andheri (East) http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/3...orview2ry0.jpg ======= Finally, Oberoi Skyz, Worli, the 60 storey twin tower whose rendering has so far eluded us... http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/319/81397285gp2.jpg ======= Oberoi developers seem to also have this upcoming residential project to look out for: Oberoi Exotica, Mulund -------==--=--==------- Cheers, Jai |
Reliance to build skyscrapers?
This is big news, as Reliance is the company set to create the MahaMumbai SEZ, a planned city that will rival Mumbai and New Mumbai in size, and is planned to have a skyscraper-laden CBD.

More and more, builders are getting bolder and more interesting in their designs. Especially the medium-sized developers. Check out these proposals, courtesy one of my friends from Mumbai who subscribes to MPE.

Mumbai's skyscrapers add to civic woes
Anjali Doshi Wednesday, February 7, 2007 (Mumbai): Promoted by Vikas Kasliwal of Shree Ram Mills, Palais Royale is all set to be one of Mumbai's tallest and most luxurious skyscrapers. The 700-feet high building, to be ready in 2009, boasts of indoor heated swimming pools, ample parking space and world-class fire safety norms.[/QUOTE] Here is the link to the video report of this story. It has a quick peek at both the construction site (construction seems to be underway) as well as a quck pan on the elevation. http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/5222/10702907yp7.jpg http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/8545/94712125wc9.jpg It took some time to splice the screencaps together. I think it is in correct proportion. http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/6827/93199294df2.jpg Vikas Kasliwal of Shree Ram Mills also said this in the video report: Quote:

I can't find the builder, architect or promoter's website. Seeing as this is going to be an 'invitation only' project, just like also u/c Oberoi Skyz, and Reliance Tower, we're probably not going to see any good quality renderings outside brief newsclips until its nearly finished. :( ---------==--=--==--------- |
Corporate head honchos, industrial bigwigs race to build paradise buildings
Hi
This is a very informative article. Main points: Reliance Tower, Altamount Rd. • Looks like the 42 storey Ambani building u/c iat Altamount Rd is to called "Antilla Residence" • According to this article, it's built with some Singapore-based developer. A previous news article said the building was designed by a Singapore-based architect as well. • This article also states it will be 245m(!) in height, one of the tallest u/c buildings in Mumbai. • Here are some images of this building, I took from the older NDTV video: http://img313.imageshack.us/img313/5151/1ak9py8.jpg http://img313.imageshack.us/img313/5219/2gt3pt3.jpg • http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/836/emotiiamlj8.gifAnyone have any ideas on the Singapore developer and architect?http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/836/emotiiamlj8.gif K Raheja's Chattan, Altamount Rd. • Once again we read another reference to this u/c building, 'Chattan', but we still don't have any word on the project from their website or an official rendering! • This building was posted on a property website as "Raheja One Altamount Road." Is this Chattan?: http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/7...road5id5fd.jpg Corporate head honchos, industrial bigwigs race to build paradise buildings Quote:
An observation: according to the renderings shown on NDTV of Reliance Tower/Antilla Residence, its to be approx 42 stories and 245 meters tall: a whopping ~6 meters / storey. Hence the building will look a helluva lot taller than an average 42 storey building when it is built. Seeing as the average building in India has 3.5m/floor, this 245m tall building will be the equivalent of a "normal" 70 storey building! http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9...wers3edej1.jpg To put i perspective, The Imperial twin towers u/c, the tallest building in Mumbai in terms of highest number livable floors (65) is to be 252m each; the Reliance tower will be only 6m shorter!) This increasing of storey height is seemingly a new trend in Mumabi. An example is Lodha Bellissimo. Thought 'only' 50 storeys, since the height of each storey is significantly larger than The Imperial's, the roof height (though not highest number-storey height) is taller than Imperial. Another example is Palais Royale planned by the Vikas Kasliwal of Shree Ram Mills posted above. This 700ft/213m building, because it has a higher floor height, only boasts ~ 50 stories as well. Can anyone find this article on Financial Expresses epaper? You can use this free login ID/pass to try. I'm having no luck. :( There might be a picture that shows a rendering or something... Cheers, Jai |
Mukesh's new home is a Rs 400-cr hanging garden
Another article. More points:
• Glad to see my estimation of the height (42 stories) was about right. Judging by how builders count floors, the 42 stories may not count the podium, and hence may be a bit taller • It will be a green building, literally as well, with greenery going all the way up to the 40th floor • The top four floors are to be the Ambanis'. The rest will be residential • The architect is US-based Perkins & Will. Armed with this new information, I've done some more digging. It seems Perkins and Will won a Distinguished Building Award 2006, an award "to recognize significant achievements in the planning, design and execution of recent building projects", for their design of the Reliance Group Headquarters Building in mumbai: http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/4...e50c58dkh9.jpg • I still can't find a damned better rendering of the Ambani tower.>( -------==--=--==------- Mukesh's new home is a Rs 400-cr hanging garden Quote:

Some new projects
-------==--=--==-------
Mantri Group Project, Bhandup, Mumbai http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4...5e531e1dx7.jpg -------==--=--==------- Project by Kalpataru Construction, Kandivali, Mumbai http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/9...5f93933bx3.jpg http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/9...5f946b0yi0.jpg http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/3...6047e07hw0.jpg Located in Kandivali, Mumbai, this 484 unit development epitomises garden living. Built over two phases, the two-bedroom and 2 + 1 bedroom apartments are nestled in lush, green surroundings. The landscaping of this project is extremely extravagent – the club house and external landscaping is seamlessly integrated – cascading infinity pools seem to flow into the clubhouse, blurring the lines between internal and external space. Shaded walkways meander around the development enveloping it in a tropical oasis. Aimed at the growing middle-class albeit offering qualities and amenities consistent with up-market residential projects in other cosmopolitan cities internationally. Upon entry into the development, the visitor steps into a huge reception area, reminiscent of a grand hotel. Amenities include concierge service and reading rooms akin to a country club. The apartments themselves are generously proportioned and well ventilated offering garden-in-the-sky balconies – stunning, unobstructed views abound. All design and space planning is sensitive to the Indian principles of Vastu, an old Indian science of architecture. Designed by Ong & Ong Architects, Singapore. Completion 2008. -------==--=--==------- I'd posted some renderings, but here are some more, with full info Project by Kalpataru Construction/Tata Power, Thane: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4...5fe290eqg5.jpg http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/2...5fe45cdlx1.jpg http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/9...5fe6701yk9.jpg http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/2...6001108xr1.jpg http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/3...atavis6oy8.jpg This master planning and design project, in Thane, Mumbai is set in picturesque surroundings, adjoining a national park. The development consists of two tower blocks housing 132 apartments units, 25 landed homes and 800 m2 of retail space on a total site of 26,269m2. The focal point in this project is a landscaped band of water features cascading down the naturally differing levels of the terrain. Designed by Ong & Ong Architects, Singapore. Completion 2007. -------==--=--==------- |
