In June 2010, The Economic Times reported that the Lodha Group had secured over from Singapore funds GIC and Temasek, and a property fund of mortgage giant HDFC, and intended to develop property on the Shrinivas Mill site. In 2010, the developer announced the project to construct the World One at the site of the defunct mill. The Lodha Group would also construct the World View and the World Crest, on the same site, as part of the project. World One initially faced opposition from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) over security concerns related to the height of the building. However, the developer later managed to receive all necessary clearances for the project. World One was built at an estimated cost of over US$321 million. The interiors of the tower were designed by Giorgio Armani, and includes a swimming pool, gym and health club, cricket pitches and a pavilion. The 117 storey tower contains 290 apartments, some of which overlook the Arabian Sea.
