Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani's Antilia no longer tallest building in…, this group competing with India's richest person, built 43-storey…

(File) Mukesh Ambani's Antilia: Mukesh Ambani's famous 27 storey Antilia, is no longer the tallest building in Mumbai. Lodha Group has constructed a 195-metre-tall skyscraper named as Lodha Altamount on Altamount Road in South Mumbai, which is taller than Antilia in height. The 43-storey tower offers 5-star amenities, eye pleasing views, and ultra-luxury apartments that are priced in crores. It is designed by architect Hadi Teherani. Mukesh Ambani's No Longer Mumbai's Tallest Building While Antilia is one of the most renowned skyscraper residences globally, it has now been overtaken in height. The newly built Lodha Altamount now is taller on the same Altamount Road in South Mumbai. This luxury residential apartment is located opposite to the world-famous Antilia. It is also made of modern design, and in a prime location. Lodha Altamount Mumbai's Tallest Building Lodha Altamount is of 195 metres (around 640 feet) and has 43 floors with around 52 residential units. It is developed by the Lodha Group and was completed in 2018. The building has features like an all-glass black façade and modern appearance. It also has 5-star amenities like a swimming pool, gym, spa, and high-speed elevators. Each apartment has unique views of the Arabian Sea and Mumbai's skyline. It is now the 68th tallest building in India. Lodha Altamount Apartment Prices According to media reports, in 2015, a 10,000 sq. ft. apartment in this building was sold for Rs 160 crore (1.6 billion) which was a record at the time for the highest per square foot price in India. It's at a premium location and prices are extremely high; a 2,952 sq. ft. flat was reportedly sold for Rs 38.08 crore. The tower was built on the site of the former Washington House, the official residence of the U.S. Consul General which was spread at 2,702 square metres. In 2012, the Lodha Group purchased this land from the U.S. Consulate for Rs 341.8 crore, outbidding Mahindra Lifespaces and Tata Housing.
