Twin Tower and the Tallest Building of India???

We know all about the world's tallest building(skyscraper) Burj Khalifa. It is 829.8 m (2,722 ft) tall which is located in Dubai but we might haven't known about India's tallest building. I would like to share details about it in this article.

"The Imperial" is a residential complex in Mumbai and it is known as the tallest building in the country till now. Its construction work was started in 2005 and the building was inaugurated in 2010. Considering the fact, it has been built as two separate buildings/sections, it is also known as the "Twin Tower of India".

The towers were designed by Engineer Hafeez from Mumbai and constructed at 13,00,000 square feets. It is 210 m tall and consists of 60 floors in each building(Imperial I and Imperial II). Seventeen elevators are being used by residents in the towers so far.

It stands in 123rd place in the list of tallest buildings of Asia. It is also in 244th rank when it comes to tallest buildings in the world.

Additionally, One more tower is getting ready in the nearby which would be named as "The Imperial III". It is expected to be 400 m tall with 116 floors. The work was started in 2014 and will be completed and inaugurated in 2017, officials said.
