When the architects were appointed for the project, it was already conceived and the construction was on a hold after partial casting of raft foundation. Careful study of the existing plans revealed that the plans were created with a mind-set of affordable segment totally ignoring the facts that the end-users were humans.
It was an 11 storey structure maximising was flanked by five star hotel Double Tree by Hilton and a green belt. To top it all when they climbed a nearby multi-storey housing they were mesmerised to see the Taj Mahal. This site was overlooking Taj Mahal from a reasonable distance.
