This article seems really over-glorified. The basic math doesn't add up at all. Someone wanted to flash around big numbers, but was too lazy to use a calculator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.67.226.148 ( talk) 15:12, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Co-ordinates are approximately 18.96786,72.809905 -- in Google images http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=&daddr=18.967561,72.80976&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=18&sll=18.96786,72.809905&sspn=0.00347,0.004168&ie=UTF8&ll=18.967708,72.809771&spn=0.00347,0.004168&t=h&z=18&om=0 is it the hole on the west side of the street or the building under construction on the east?

Added a reference and removed tag questioning notability -- this structure has been widely covered in the media as the world's most expensive residence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Langhorner ( talk • contribs) 12 December 2008
This "valued at $1Bn" is, to put it politely, not verifiable. The SMH article says, with no attribution, "Mumbai's growing property prices means Antilia is now estimated to be worth 15 times more - about $1 billion." Estimated by whom?
It seems to me an acceptable source for a building's value is documentation of: an actual sale price; a declined offer (setting a minimum value); or perhaps an opinion by an accredited valuer. A journalist saying "worth a billion dollars" doesn't mean anything. Subsolar ( talk) 01:58, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
I don't know why people keep trying to restore $1 billion as the cost. There is no RS mentioned here that says that was the cost. I guess the idea of a billion-dollar house is very romantic and it may be disappointing to remove it, but wikipedia is not a tabloid. Subsolar ( talk) 02:17, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
This link [2] was commonly used, but is not stable - it points to a different story now, and I can't find the one originally referenced. Subsolar ( talk) 02:30, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
can we see if there are any critics who note how the most expensive private residence in the world is walking distance to one of the poorest neighborhoods in the world? -- T1980 ( talk) 01:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

The title of the article is Antilia, and that name appears in one other place, in the second paragraph of the intro; everywhere else in the body of the article—including the boldfaced first word—it's called Antilla. Whichever spelling is wrong should be corrected. — 8.47.96.133 ( talk) 06:42, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
A sentence quoting Mark Magnier of Los Angeles Times stated: "Few Indians are proud of the ostentatious house, while most see it as "shameful in a nation where many children go hungry"."
First it is not exactly what what Mark Magnier stated. Secondly it implies that it is unethical for specifically Indians to enjoy luxuries. Many children go hungry even in the richest nations. There are large populations of poor in USA or UAE, for example.
Los Angeles has "more people in poverty than any big city in America" [1]. I have not seen judging of those who live in Malibu Colony Beach or Beverly Hills Gateway.
In the past I remember having seen commentators from advanced countries commenting on why a poor nation like India does not deserve democracy. Malaiya ( talk) 01:18, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
I remember reading that the Antilia Tower is actually an entertainment center rather than a residence and that the family lives on Carmichael Road. I have been told that Connaught is a street of more traditional mansions from the Georgian era. RichardBond ( talk) 11:29, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
