442 meters

What's the name of this building?
 
anyone knows why they stalled construction of the India tower? This beast is planned to be 700 m high

The continued delays come as a new round of research by Barclays Capital has surfaced showing high correlations between skyscraper construction and economic crises. According the report’s analyst, “India, it seems, is playing catch-up… If history proves to be right, this building boom in China and India could simply be a reflection of a misallocation of capital, which may result in an economic correction in the next five years.”

India’s economy, the third largest in Asia, is showing signs of slowing in economic growth, potentially signaling financial instability in future months. While no official announcement has been made concerning the fate of the India Tower, all signs point to continued postponement and a potential scrapping of the entire project

The people making it got caught up in the 2G scandal.

The tower was all set to go.

Imperial Tower, Mumbai
Architect: Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture
Client: SD Corp.


Imperial Tower is a 116-story residential building next to two existing towers in Mumbai, India. At 400 meters, it will be Mumbai's tallest building, and will serve as a prototype for future tall towers in this densely developed but currently low-rise city. The tower's form is distinguished by sensuous curves, lush skygardens and a high-performance, highly reflective exterior wall. The aerodynamic shape of the tower is designed to confuse the wind, minimizing negative effects of wind action on the building; the skygardens also help break up wind vortexes around the building. The terraces also function as beautiful amenities for building occupants, providing access to light and views and a strong connection with the natural world in a manner atypical for Mumbai. The exterior wall provides a strong visual contrast with the heavy masonry cladding of most surrounding buildings; the wall system is also highly sustainable, blocking solar heat gain and diffusing direct sunlight in the city's hot, humid climate. Other sustainable features include greywater collection and re-use systems, high-efficiency MEP systems, a green wall podium and the use of native plants throughout the landscaping. The 76,000-square-meter tower features 132 luxury residential units, whose interiors were designed by our firm.
 
In times of economic slowdown I think investing so heavily in concrete is a mistake. If money gets stuck there, its just stuck.

Mumbai has no space left to grow and hence these vertical ventures, besides these there are also massive slum rehabilitation being undertaken and proposed.
