Mukesh Ambani India's richest man
is all set to move into Antilia, the world's most expensive house.
Mukesh Ambani plans to move in to the house along with his family
on October 28.
It took seven years to build the 27-storey dream mansion which is
built in the middle of downtown Mumbai. The house is named Antilia;
the name is from the legendary island in the Atlantic Ocean. The
house is meant for just five people, Ambani, his wife and their
three children.
The 27-storey building is 570 feet high and has six levels of parking
space, a mega-garage where more than 160 cars can be parked. Above
the parking lot is the lobby which has nine elevators. The sky scraper
boasts of three helipads on the top with an air traffic control
area.
The building has some world-class facilities that include swimming
pools, a health club, salon and a mini theatre. The ballroom is
believed to be a carbon copy of the Mandarin Inn in New York. No
room in the house is similar in look.
There is a 50 seater mini-theatre on the eight floor. The Ambanis
will reside in the top floors. The family plans to occupy 4 lakh
square feet of living space. There are 600 full-time staff to maintain
the building. |
