Lodha Altamount is a postmodern luxury residential skyscraper project located in the billionaires row of Mumbai, India. Designed by Hadi Teherani, it has an all glass black facade. [3]

Contents

Lodha Group acquired the land from the US consulate for ₹341.8 crore, surpassing the bids made by Mahindra Lifespaces and TATA Housing. [4] The previously existing Washington House, home to US Consul General, was a three-story building, covering an area of 2,702 square meters. It is in Coastal Regulation Zone 2 and is listed as a Grade 3 Property. [5] It is the 68th tallest building in India.

History

Altamount Road has many pre-independence era residences, and important establishments such as the Indonesian and South African consulate bungalows. It is also home to many heritage buildings such as the official residence of the Chairman of Bombay Port Trust, the Municipal Commissioner of Mumbai and the General Manager of Western Railways. The residential bungalow of the Bombay Port Trust was originally made by George Wittet, who also designed the Gateway of India. [6]

Lodha Altamount hass 43 floors on a half-acre site. It includes 8 podium levels, 2 floors for recreation, and 52 residences fully serviced by the hospitality company Saint Amand. The modern architecture style of the building was conceived by German-Iranian architect Hadi Teherani. [7] It was constructed using a steel frame with an all-glass façade. Three sides have panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and the city of Mumbai.

Lodha Altamount made history in November 2015 with the sale of the most expensive apartment in the country. A 10,000-square-foot apartment was sold for over 1.6 billion at 160,000 per square foot — the highest price per square foot ever paid in India. [8] This also beat the record for the previous sale in the same building at 141,543 per square foot. [9]

Location

The development is built on the former location of Washington House, a property of US Consulate General for which the acquisition was announced in 2012 for a sum of 341.82 crore. [10] The development is located at SK Barodawalla Marg, popularly known by its former name, Altamount Road. It has frequently featured in the list of most expensive residential streets of the world. [11]

Architecture

Lodha Altamount is designed as a multi-storied apartment building, with 43 floors in total and having 52 residential units. The amenities floor is on level eight, which comprises a gymnasium, spa, outdoor infinity pool, movie lounge, and a boardroom.

Design
