The most depressing part about this is the lack of creativity. If you’re gonna monetise a floating island - there are much better ways than a billboard.
Imagine the number of microads and events you can run when you have captive footfalls.

Checks out. Booking.com is worth double of Delta Airlines.
TIL about "church conversions" - an adaptive reuse trend of turning churches with dwindling congregations into crazy open-concept homes.
Lot of India v/s USA discussion lately. Nothing underscores the fact that we are developing more than actual building happening on the ground.
MMR is building ~ as many skyscrapers (150m+) as the next 10 worldwide cities COMBINED.
So many buildings have been inspired by the Flatiron. Interesting to think about which aspects people love/hate about this design. The floor plan was always controversial for grade-A office which has now led to a condo conversion.
Love: Light due to narrow floor plates, corner office at the point.
Hate: Irregular non-rectangular rooms.
Pantheon looks significantly wider - almost trangular. Wonder how that floor plate is handling light/room shapes? @GauravGupta_RE do you have the floor plan?
People often ask why start @relmohq with primary. This explains it well.
Payment plans with new construction, quality of delivery, and RERA guarantees mean that there is a large portion of buyers in India who only want to buy in new projects.
This overlaps pretty strongly with first-time homebuyers who face a poor experience when finding their next home. We want to make it easier for them.
Homebuilders are exposing the housing market.
They're offering mortgage rate buydowns, closing costs, and tens of thousands in incentives.
Meanwhile, resale sellers are still hoping someone pays their asking price.
Here's the problem.
Buyers don't live in the purchase price.
They live in the MONTHLY PAYMENT.
And builders have figured that out.
We started to share our first steps at Relmo with the world yesterday.
We’re building this to enable every Indian to find their next home with confidence. Here’s how v1 works. A simple way to explore and book visits at new construction buildings in Mumbai.
This narrative is not only short-sighted but actively DANGEROUS.
In a country where our road coverage is 24% of USA’s per capita figure and expressways are 2% of USA’s per capita figure - we have to build for the level of development we want.
There are countless examples in history of projects criticised at launch which have transformed geographies like the Mumbai-Pune expressway, Erie Canal, or the Beijing-Shanghai HSR. Built infrastructure has a long lead and we must have the foresight to invest ahead wisely.
India is building US-style expressways to move freight faster. But many truckers still prefer older roads, where food, repairs and rest stops are cheaper. Aryan Gupta explains what’s putting the country’s $130 billion bet at risk: bloom.bg/4Bn5lr4
