Continuing The Legacy

By reinterpreting its functions, Oberoi Realty’s latest commercial tower, Commerz II, skillfully manipulates the scale and mass of the structure to build on its clients requirements.

In Mumbai’s incompressible dimensions of its buildings’ footprints, there are thousands of emerging commercial buildings that shape the skyline. Merging with this conventional background, the design approach taken up by Oberoi Realty for its mixed-use complex, Oberoi Garden City (OGC), defies the prevalent continuity of planning and has developed a language of its own. The real-estate company has been a pioneer in creating the first mixed-use building of the country – Commerz, which houses Westin hotel, office spaces and retail facilities.

Behind the company’s impeccably marked journey through these years has been a team whose vision idealised every facet of its core principles. Led by Rajendra Chandorkar, EVP, Architecture & Design, Oberoi Realty, the team explains the genesis of Commerz II, the latest addition to the complex.
