Excerpt from Wikipedia

The Imperial is a twin-tower residential skyscraper complex in Mumbai that is one of the tallest completed buildings in India. In 2010 its construction was completed and the towers were inaugurated.

Location

Designed by architect Hafeez Contractor (himself from Mumbai), The Imperial is built on former slum land in Tardeo, South Mumbai and is perhaps Contractor's most recognisable project to date. The project's use of the modern urban redevelopment model in which the building firm provides free land and rehabilitation to slum dwellers in exchange for rights for property development was the first implementation of this model on a large scale. The project is an example of success in the redevelopment of slum and cotton mill land across the city and across India as a whole.[ according to whom?]
