Pratibha to be rebuilt, original tenants offered space

Pratibha, a skyscraper off Breach Candy in south Mumbai, will be rebuilt nearly 40 years after one of the largest building violation scams rocked Mumbai and three years after the skeleton of the illegal skyscraper was destroyed. A typical apartment in the area costs around Rs 10,000 per sq ft.

The 36-floor building, which rose to fame in the 1980s, was mockingly referred to as Mumbai's first "tower of corruption." 35 members of the society who had reserved apartments in the building forty years ago are currently in negotiations with the developer.

On the nearly two-acre site, which is located in Sophia College lane, it is intended to construct a new tower. Although they are negotiating for a larger space, the original flat buyers, who never got to stay in the building, have each been offered 3,300 sq ft of space.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
