This is an exclusive residential complex in Mumbai city, the
costliest city in Asia in terms of real estate value. It
consists of two independent structures. The Jeevan Building
has a basement garage, a ground floor, and nine upper stories.
The Manek Building consists of a three-level basement garage,
a ground floor, and 19 upper stories. A small commercial
complex annex is one ground level and one upper story.
There are fifty-two apartments and two terrace penthouses in
the complex; the real estate value of each apartment is
approximately $2 million U.S. The structures are reinforced
concrete (RCC) framed structures, constructed during the early
Seventies, elegantly designed with distinctive elevation to
impart an aesthetic architectural impact.
Work performed on these structures included repairs and
replacement of the entire facade, repair to exposed portions
of concrete high-rises, such as weather shades, cantilevers,
slab edges, columns, shear walls, beams, concrete facade
elements, and improving performance of window openings through
detailing and repairs. The existing swimming pool was
carefully evaluated and repaired and the deck retiled.
Included in the repair was a basement badminton court and a
three-tier basement garage.
