The Architecture and the constructor
The architect who built this Antilia residence is Parkins & Will from lives in Chicago and a Melbourne base contracting company named as Leighton Holdings took this contract. While building this residence they took into all consideration and also checked eight rich scale earthquake.
Obstacle during construction
Mukes Ambani purchased this property in the year 2002. Before building this residence in 2007 claimed that the structure is illegal. So Mukesh Ambani took NOC letter (NO Objection Certificate) from the owner named as Waqf Board for US $ 36,100. After that Indian Military claimed that there should not be any helipad in any of the residence, but afterword the objection was taken back.
Even after all this issue raised Mukesh Ambani solved it one by one and successfully built his residence till June 2011.
I think it’s wonderful that people who have worked hard are using that money to do what they want to do, what gives them happiness in this lifetime. The man is rich and hard-working, people. This is what he wants. Good luck to him.
A lot of people will make a nice living because of the construction, maintainence and what-not of this home. Better than making a hole in the ground and hiding all his wealth, don’t you think?
He is spending 1/20th of his worth on his primary home. Thats reasonable. Good thing is he is spending the money. Imagine the cascading effect of this. Many architects, civil & other engineers, contruction workers get work.
