LOAN PAVES WAY FOR MUMBAI RESIDENTIAL SKYSCRAPER

As the first, 60-story residential tower of the Monte South at Byculla development in south Mumbai nears completion, the developer, a joint venture of Marathon Group and Adani Realty, obtained a loan to build a second one of the same height containing 150 luxury apartments, DNA India reports.
