Nariman Point Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony
On 27 January a Shilanyas or foundation stone laying ceremony
took place on the site of Chapman Taylors office and residential
tower project in Mumbai.

In the speech given by Shri. N.B. Singh, IRS, Chairman of the Indian
Tax Authorities, he described our scheme as beautifully conceived.
The site is one of the most significant in India, being the last waterfront
plot in Nariman Point in central Mumbai. This is the principal commercial
area in the country and has the highest office rents per sq ft in
the world.
Planning permission has been sought for two schemes. Phase one is
a 13 storey building containing office, convention and hospitality
facilities. This has an abstracted nautical appearance
made up of a series of repeated bow-shaped arches.
Phase two assumes we can obtain a higher allowable buildable area
resulting in a 35 storey tower containing residential accommodation
above the office and convention podium. The apartments have been oriented
to maximise the sea views, and their balconies are wrapped in an open
eco-façade containing shading and solar-energy panels. It is
likely that this option will proceed.
The event has had extensive coverage in the Indian newspapers and
has been featured by the television channels Star TV, NDTV, Sahara
TV and Zee Business.
