In the year 2014, it was called the most expensive house in the world. About Rs 6000 crore was spent in its construction. Its construction lasted for four years. The Ambani family started its work in the year 2006 and it was completed in 2010. It is high above the ground and has the ability to withstand earthquakes. Earthquake up to 8 Richter scale can occur in Antilia. But you might know what was there before the land on which Antilia stands…
orphanage was built
There was an orphanage at the site of Antilia many years ago. This orphanage was built in 1895 by a very rich Karimbhai Ibrahim. The orphanage was specifically built for children who did not have parents and who came from the Khoja community. The work of running this orphanage was done by the Waqf Board. In the year 2002, the Trust sought permission to sell this land. On behalf of the government, the Charity Commissioner gave permission to sell it after a few months.
According to a report in The New Indian Express, This land was purchased for 2.5 million dollars And this land was sold to Mukesh Ambani’s company. At that time Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia Commercial Private Limited had bought it for $2.5 million. However, its market cap at that time was $1.5 billion. After purchasing the land, the Ambani family sought permission to build a building on this land after the documentary process. The plan for the construction of this building was approved by BMC in the year 2003 and then its construction started in the year 2006.
staff of 600
Ambani’s home Antilia is named after an island in Spain. It has been designed by American architecture company Perkins & Will. A staff of 600 people work in Antilia. Whose salary is said to be in lakhs. It has been claimed in many media reports that the salary of Ambani’s driver is around Rs 2.5 lakh per month. However, Zee24K does not confirm this claim. The shapes of lotus and sun have been used in its inside design.
The design and plan of each floor is different.
You can guess how wonderful the building will be from the fact that the design and plan of each floor is different. There are 3 helipads in this building. But it is not on. But there is also a truth about this building that despite its construction being completed in the year 2010, the Ambani family did not shift into it for almost a year. Went to live in this building only after a year. The Ambani family suspected that there was Vaastu defect there. Before the Ambani family removed it, in June 2011, about 50 pundits performed puja at Antilia and performed the rectification of Vaastu defects. Then in September 2011, the Ambani family shifted there.
