History[edit]
Kohinoor Square project started when Kohinoor Group Pvt, Ltd. won the bid to
develop the Old Kohinoor mills located in Shivaji Park, at a price of 21
billion (US$340 million), including 4 billion (US$66 million) for the land.[18] It was
originally planned to be the tallest office building in India. Construction started in
2009 and in 2013 the plans were changed to making it the tallest hotel building in
India due to local market reasons.[19]
Plot history[edit]
It is located on the land previously owned by Kohinoor Mills. In 2004 the land was
sold to Kohinoor Group.
Location[edit]
Kohinoor Square is located on the land previously owned by Kohinoor Mills which is
in Shivaji Park, Mumbai, India, at the junction of L.J. Road and Gokhale Road. It is
6 km from Mumbai airport, 3 km from BandraKurla Complex, 1.5 km from Eastern
Freeway and 3 km from Bandra–Worli Sea Link both from Bandra and Worli.
Construction[edit]
Construction of the Kohinoor Square started in early 2009, with a completion date
of March 2013, with a construction period of four years. Most of the time the
construction remained on schedule. But later in 2012, construction slowed down
due to the legation of theFloor Space Index on Car Parks with the Brihanmumbai
Municipal Corporation and design change from a full Office building to a Mixed use
building.[20] In December 2012, Kohinoor Square main building officially topped out
becoming The Tallest Mixed use building in India. Later, on 26, July 2013 the issue
regarding the Floor Space Index on car parks was resolved in supreme court, and
with an estimated completion date of December 2013 the construction resumed
again.[21] Construction on Residence building started in late, 2010 and is scheduled
to complete in March 2014.
