Authorities have commenced the process of finalising a location for the first tall building (defined as over 100 m in height) on the SG Road. About two weeks ago the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) was approached by a construction company with two proposals for the same location. It is a mixed-use project as well as a commercial project. The construction company will soon finalise one out of the two projects that will come up at the location. The SG Road building is expected to be of 120 m in height. After the tallest building in the state, a 118m residential complex in proximity to the Science City had been given permission by the state government in December last year. Additionally, four more proposals for building constructions with approximately 33 floors have been sent to the AMC, for recommendation to the government under the August 2020 policy, for tall buildings. The proposed buildings are located in Shilaj and near Thaltej. Two additional projects, in Gota and on Bopal-Ambli road, are in preliminary stages of scrutiny with the body. The trend of tall buildings has been gaining momentum in western parts of Ahmedabad. Since the earthquake in 2001 the maximum height of buildings was 45m, which was raised to 70m in 2017. The new policy enabled the builders to go even higher, given a road is at least 30m wide and adjacent to the plot. Image Source
