Septenvigintiplex Demand Unfazed By Downturn In Broader Housing Market

Now there's a house.

Construction of Mukesh Ambani’s new house at Altamount Road [in Mumbai, India], where real estate prices are now in the region of Rs 75,000 per sq ft, began in late 2006, and the first six floors are already in place now. The building is expected to be complete in September 2008.

According to the plan, the house will rise to a height of 173.12 meters, equivalent to that of a regular 60-storeyed residential building. However, Antilia will have only 27 storeys in all, which means each floor will have a ceiling considerably higher than the current average of nearly three meters.

The first six floors — which have come up — will be reserved for parking alone, and that too for cars belonging only to Mukesh's family. Space for a total of 168 'imported' cars has been earmarked here.
...
Nearly 600 staffers are expected to work full-time in the building, sources said.
