Lokhandwala Minerva is a 301 m (988 ft), 78-floor residential supertall skyscraper in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. As of 2024, it is the tallest completed building and the second building to reach supertall height in India.[a]
Hafeez Contractor served as the chief architect for the tower, while JW Consultants were the structural engineers. The tower underwent a redesign in 2015 which reduced the final height by 6 m (20 ft).[5]
Controversies[edit]
Delayed possession hearings[edit]
In 2023, home buyers of Lokhandwala Minerva were granted interest on delayed possession after hearings before MahaRERA, the real estate regulatory authority of Maharashtra state.[6][7]
Breach of conditions notice[edit]
In May 2023, the MahaRERA issued show-cause notice citing breach of conditions to Lokhandwala Kataria Constructions over false advertisements claiming the tower to be 90-storey tall, against the approved 77 floors.[8]
