which it estimates will fetch Rs 15,000 crore, in this space-starved city.

Each apartment here is expected to cost Rs 5-10 crore and would make it one of the country's tallest and most expensive housing projects, sources said.

DLF is looking to launch next month this project at Lower Parel, where over 2,000 super-luxury homes would be spread vertically over 90 floors. Of this, the first 17 floors would be reserved for parking and there would be a king-size garden on the 18th.

DLF has yet not fixed the selling price of the units and the same would be determined after the market survey, sources said, adding that the company expects a sales realisation of Rs 12,000-15,000 crore from this high-end project.

When contacted, DLF spokesperson declined to divulge the details of the project.

"We are not in a hurry to launch this project. As we see market improving, we are waiting for the right time to launch this project to have a better realisation," he added.
