Prestige Group, a leading real estate developer, plans to invest over Rs 3,500 crore in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and Turf View at Mahalakshmi in south Mumbai to develop around 7 million sq ft of commercial space.
The new commercial development will be the country’s tallest office building with a standalone floor plus 63 storey and a 43-floor tower. The proposed 2.5 million sq ft property, which is scheduled to be completed by 2025, may have 400,000 Sq ft of facilities space and enterprise membership together with a viewing gallery on the highest ground.
Construction has begun on the Prestige Liberty Towers, two 290m and 200m-tall structures designed by Dutch firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). Led by Iyad Alsaka, Adrianne Fisher, and Wael Sleiman, this mixed-use complex is the firm’s first venture in India.
OMA’s design maximises the views overlooking the historic Mahalakshmi Racecourse to the Arabian Sea with two staggered towers of 200 and 290 meters, at 270,000 Sq m, one of the largest office developments in the city. The rectangular column-free floors, combined with full-height curved glass façades, are designed to enhance the office plan efficiency with light-filled, high-quality workspaces. The restrained material selection of Indian black basalt and glass provides a counterpoint to the urban surroundings.
Integrating the arrival lobbies to the office towers, a five-story podium houses the 36,000 Sq m retail mall. The structure is elevated to distribute shared infrastructures and allow vehicle circulation beneath the building and the entrance to a fully automated basement car park. Between the towers, a garden roof terrace directly accessed from the coworking, restaurant and shopping areas provides much-needed amenity space for connection and relaxation for office users and locals.
Throughout all levels of the podium, a broad range of programs is offered – an open podium, food court, restaurants, cinemas and a theatre – to enrich with cultural and public events which extend the life of the building long after the workday is over.
“Prestige Liberty Towers addresses the demand for high-quality office space in Mumbai, India’s financial and commercial capital. More than that, the building offers spaces for activities that keep it alive well beyond working hours. I am excited to engage in a context that has a long history and at the same time a strong appetite for the new,” says Iyad Alsaka, Partner-in-Charge, OMA.
