Leighton Asia has been selected to construct a high-rise residential project in Mumbai, India, for Birla Niyaara, a flagship mixed-use development by Century Estates.

Construction works comprise the delivery of a 70-storey and a 72-storey residential building, including three common basements, a podium and a terrace. A club house and retail section are also to be constructed across a 6.6-ha site with a total built-up area of approximately 273,000 sq m.

“We are pleased to continue to contribute our international experience and local knowledge to support ongoing growth in the region. We are committed to ensuring that the community will benefit through local procurement and employment,” said Brad Davey, managing director of Leighton Asia, a CIMIC Group company.

Construction of the project commenced in September 2022 and is scheduled to complete in mid-2027. The contract will generate revenue of approximately A$129 million for Leighton Asia.

“Leighton Asia has been delivering landmark projects in India for more than 23 years. This award highlights the team’s ability to deliver quality works safely and on time to meet our client’s vision and our experience in delivering premium residential and commercial projects,” said Juan Santamaria, executive chairman of CIMIC Group.
