Of the ultra-luxurious and engineering wonders in the world, two buildings have won everyone's hearts: Mukesh Ambani's Antilia in Mumbai and Dubai's Burj Khalifa. Let's see a comparison between the two behemoths of architecture:
Antilia:
-
Price: Estimated to be worth about $4.6 billion (Rs 15,000 crore).
-
Facilities: 49 bedrooms, 168-car garage, ballroom, 50-seat theater, snow room, spa, health centre, and temple.
-
Address: Altamount Road, Mumbai.
-
Height: 173 meters (568 feet), has 27 floors.
Burj Khalifa:
-
Cost: The cost of construction was about $1.5 billion, but its worth is much greater because it serves as a residential and commercial complex.
-
Amenities: 900 residential spaces, commercial buildings, observation deck on the 124th floor and 125th floor, and high-end amenities.
-
Location: Downtown Dubai.
-
Height: 828 meters (2,717 feet) with 163 floors.
While Antilia is the costliest private home in the world, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world, with a combination of residential and commercial areas. The value of Antilia exceeds the cost of construction of the Burj Khalifa, but the latter's overall economic influence and reputation are unmatched.
