| dc.description | View looking up at both towers from the west; The Imperial is a twin-tower residential skyscraper complex in Mumbai, that are the tallest completed buildings in the country. The towers are located in Tardeo, South Mumbai. Construction was completed and the towers were inaugurated in 2010. Each tower has 60 floors and a floor area of 120,000 m2. It was part of a redevelopment project to replace slum (by relocating inhabitants in exchange for "free" land) and mill land, now used as a model across India. The apartments (not referred to as condos) are purchased, not rented. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 8/25/2015) | en_US |
