The iconic tower planned for Mumbai, which at one time promised to be the world’s third tallest building—behind the Burj Dubai and the under-construction Freedom Tower in New York—will now be nowhere near these global landmarks. In fact, the MMRDA had earlier scaled back the plans for the tower in Wadala from 101 storeys (526 to 531m) to 85 to 89 storeys (430 to 460m). At that time, it still promised to be the eighth tallest building in the world, behind the Sears Tower in Chicago. But plans have been further scaled back to 75 to 80 floors (260 to 300 m). Buildings of that height rank from 37 to 75 in the world’s tallest lists. In the city, too, the Wadala tower is no longer the tallest project on paper, though it would rank fairly high.
