The 32-floor building, christened as “Curv”, is being built by Ahmedabad-based Shivalik Developers. “This will be GIFT City’s first twisted landmark and built in the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA). It will have about a million square feet of commercial spaces, where the ground level will be retail, and the remaining 32 floors will consist of office spaces,” Taral Shah, managing director of the real estate firm, told The Indian Express.
“The plan has been cleared by GIFT City and we also got the RERA approval two days ago. We will start construction in the next two months. This is our first commercial project in GIFT City and the project cost will be around Rs 700 crore. Office spaces will be available at Rs 7,000 a square feet,” Shah added.
The building has been designed by INI Design Studio, which has also designed the Gateway Towers in Dubai, the under-construction World Trade Centre at GIFT City, the Surat Diamond Bourse and the carried out the redevelopment of ghats on Ganga river at Varanasi, among other projects.
“The columns on each of the floors will have a twist. This design intervention gives the twisted shape to the building. There is also a 300 feet atrium — a large open space in the centre — in the building which allows offices on all floors to see the ground level from their respective passages. It will be a green building with about nine high-speed elevators,” Shah explained.
The twisted building will come up about 200 meters from the lone, under-construction Metro Railway station within GIFT City. The builder has already launched a residential project in GIFT City and has sold 90 percent of the space.
Currently, 16 buildings, including high-rises, have already been constructed in GIFT City, and 27 additional buildings accounting for 9-10 million square feet are under construction.
