“Nariman Point is Mumbai’s premier business district and country’s first central business district. It was named after Khursheed Framji Nariman, a Parsi visionary. The area is situated on land reclaimed from the sea. It had the distinction of having the highest commercial real estate rental space in the world in 1995 at $175 per square foot ($1880/m²). Nariman Point hit a new high as a flat sold for a record $8.62 million (USD) on 26 November 2007 [1], at an astonishing $2488 (INR97,842) per square foot. According to the “Office Space Across the World 2012” report by Cushman & Wakefield, Nariman point is the 15th most expensive CBD in the world. The area is situated on the extreme southern tip of Marine Drive. It houses some of India’s premier business headquarters. Nariman point is the 25th most expensive office market in the world” ~ Wikipedia
We visited Nariman in the late afternoon to watch the sun set. Other photographers were there plying their trade and taking photos of themselves and friends.
Chaps selling various foodstuffs were chased away by two serious looking young police ladies who walked like cowboys in a Western movie.
The mood was otherwise very relaxed on the water’s edge where all gathered to watch another day end.
I have been to this place many times.
You know I’d be really keen to see your India pics.. where can I find them Ron?
My last trip to India was in 1998 and I was not interested in photography back then.
Such a pity – you’d do terribly well there
No pity, I plan to go back to India soon.
I’m waiting 😉
