History
The Lodha Group purchased the 7.1-hectare (17.5-acre) site of the defunct Shrinivas Mill in Lower Parel, Mumbai from Shrinivas Cotton in 2005.[3][4][5][6] In June 2010, The Economic Times reported that the Lodha Group had secured over ₹1,000 crore (US$150 million) from Singapore funds GIC and Temasek, and a property fund of mortgage giant HDFC, and intended to develop property on the Shrinivas Mill site.[4] In 2010, the developer announced the project to construct the World One at the site of the defunct mill. The Lodha Group would also construct the World View and the World Crest, on the same site, as part of the project.[7] World One initially faced opposition from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) over security concerns related to the height of the building. However, the developer later managed to receive all necessary clearances for the project.[7] World One was built at an estimated cost of over US$ 321 million. The interiors of the tower were designed by Giorgio Armani, and includes a swimming pool, gym and health club, cricket pitches and a pavilion.[8] The 117 storey tower contains 290 apartments, some of which overlook the Arabian Sea.
The contract to construct World One was awarded to a joint venture between UAE-based Arabian Construction Company and Simplex Infrastructure.[9] Construction on World One began in 2011.[10] By December 2014, about 75% of civil construction on the project had been completed.[7] By June 2015, 70% of the tower was complete, with 83 floors having been built.[8]
Apartments at World One start at ₹15 crore (US$2.2 million) for a 3BHK.[11] The Lodha Group opened bookings for apartments at World One on 29 November 2011. When the first round of bookings closed on 14 December 2014, Lodha had received ₹500 crore (US$74 million) worth of bookings, at a approximate rate of over ₹70,000-80,000 per sq ft. The tower is composed of 3 and 4 BHK apartments.[7] Lodha began offering apartments at World One for sale in London in February 2015. The company hired London estate agent, Wetherell Estates, to market and sell homes in the tower. Lodha particularly hoped to target high net worth Indians living in Mayfair, London.[12]
World View and World Crest
There are 2 other towers under this project:

The World Crest is a 57 floor residential tower with a height of 222.5 metres. Construction on the tower began in 2011, and is expected to be completed in 2016.[14]
The tower topped out in June 2014.
