"The “Greenest of All Buildings” was recently completed in Mumbai, India and we couldn’t be more appalled. The Antilia house which unveiled its first renderings just over two-years ago has become a frightening reality, egregiously boasting 27 stories at 568 feet high, with a total area of over 398,000 square feet of living space.
What at first glimpse looks and sounds like a typical skyscraper is far from it – the Antilla is in fact a $1 billion family home built for India’s richest man (and Forbes’ fourth richest man) Mukesh Ambani, his wife, and three children. Constructed within a country estimated to have one-third of the world’s poorest population, the Antilia truly exemplifies the disease of excessive consumption, extreme wastefulness, and unsustainable living that is permeating today’s society."

Nice building... I am interested to find out what makes it green, I couldn't see a green roof or any other item that would qualify the building as a green construction.
Is there a solar system, a rainwater collection system? I can see that the building has a lot of windows so I see that it might be energy effecient but what else is there?
Why is the building so expensive?
Thanks
