1) Antilia  

The famous 400,000 square foot residential building, Antilia needs no introduction, it is as iconic as its owner. Antilia belongs to Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries. The palatial abode is the personal home of Mukesh Ambani and signifies luxury which offers world-class amenities under one single umbrella.

 Distinctive features that distinguish this house from the others include health spa, parking space for 168 cars, multiple swimming pools, a yoga studio, nine elevators in the lobby and a floor with vehicle maintenance facility. For entertainment, Antilia offers some of the few interesting features. This mansion has ice-room with man-made flurries exclusively designed for Ambani kids, nine elevators in the lobby, one floor of hanging gardens, 2-storey recreation center, ballroom, guest suites and theater with 50 seats.

Antilia is designed by Perkins & will, a Chicago-based designer.  Each decoration of the house is unique and outstanding. The sun and the lotus-are two design patterns that are used throughout the mansion. Also, each floor in Antilia is exclusively designed according to Vastu Shastra, the hindu version of Feng Shui.

Although, Antilia is 27-floor high, yet some ceilings are of double heights, it looks closer to the size of a 40-floor building. It is located in Altamount Road in Mumbai. Altamount Road is the second expensive locality in India, where the property prices touch sky.
