WP:HOAX. This project was just a rumour. It seems like an attempt to advertise the potential of Zoom developers, which is a private real estate company. Kinfra which is the government establishment did not announce this project as per the claim in the article. Couldnt find enough supporting references from the websites of Kinfra or Zoom -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 13:28, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: Don't forget to remove this from List_of_tallest_buildings_in_India] if deleted. Polarpanda (talk) 16:24, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: This is not a hoax. This news article from Yahoo verifies that this is a proposed building. I have no comment as to the notability of this topic but note that my searches for significant coverage in reliable sources have not returned anything substantial.

 * Comment - quite a few Ghits, but curiously dificult to find any hard facts. I have added a couple of refs that show at least that such a development has been talked about, and taken off the "unref" and "hoax" tags (but added a cn to the statement about appointing developers). Undecided at present but will probably come back as delete, proposal too insubstantial to be notable yet unless I can find more. (I have, see below) JohnCD (talk) 14:49, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: - The proposed land is owned by Kinfra. But the Kinfra site does not state anything about this project. There is no way that Kinfra will omit such an ambitious project from its websites. Even the web site of Zoom is not mentioning about a 500m tall skyscraper project. I couldnt find any reliable sources to support the claims in the article. Yahoo article is written by some one who too believed in this false news, which might have originated from wiki. The same guess stands for other Kochi based blog sites. My logic is that if such a proposal would have been placed, it should be there in Kinfra website or any other Kerala government related sites (since Kinfra is a government owned company). Chances are there that some real estate developers have started this rumour for their business gains (may be Zoom itself). Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 04:15, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Further: The citation JohnCD has provided in the article : http://www.kochicity.net/ is a replica of the wiki page on Kochi,_India (older version; in the latest version the news about 100 floor bldg is removed). You can find that many sentences are the same as in wiki. -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 04:39, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - sourcing too vague and proposal too insubstantial to be notable yet. JohnCD (talk) 10:06, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
