High-rise living often comes at a high price, and apartments in India’s World One Tower are no exception.
But as well as having the luxury of a Giorgio Armani designed property, investors will also be able to say they own a piece of the world’s tallest residential block which is set to reach 1,450 feet.
The skyscraper is currently under construction by Indian developer Lodha in Mumbai, and will feature 300 three and four-bedroom homes across 117 floors with completion due next year.
The apartments go on sale this week in London through Wetherell Estates, with prices starting at £1.4m (Dh7.9m), according to The Telegraph.
The Lodha group is targeting wealthy Indians in the capital, who account for 25 per cent of homebuyers in the super-rich Mayfair area.
New York’s 432 Park Avenue is currently the world’s tallest residential tower at 1,398ft, followed by the Princess Tower in Dubai.
World One Tower is part of the scheme featuring three towers which Lodha says are “uniquely curvilinear in shape”.
“World One, the world’s tallest residential tower, World View and World Crest, stand as a powerful symbol of Mumbai’s unfettered aspirations and unstoppable drive,” the developer says on its website.

Three ways to boost your credit score
Marwan Lutfi says the core fundamentals that drive better payment behaviour and can improve your credit score are:
1. Make sure you make your payments on time;
2. Limit the number of products you borrow on: the more loans and credit cards you have, the more it will affect your credit score;
3. Don't max out all your debts: how much you maximise those credit facilities will have an impact. If you have five credit cards and utilise 90 per cent of that credit, it will negatively affect your score.
How to wear a kandura
Dos
- Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion
- Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
- Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work
- Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester
Don’ts
- Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal
- Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
