According to a report in Times Property, Antilia's name is derived from a mythical island named Ante-llah, which was reputed to be a mythical island back in the 15th century. The inspiration behind Antilia's architectural design was based on sun, lotus, precious stones, marble, and mother of pearl. As per a report in Rethinking The Future, the mythical island, which is reportedly the inspiration behind the architectural theme of Antilia, is believed to be a representation of wealth.
The construction of Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's house, Antilia, reportedly started back in 2006. The initial phase of the construction was led by the famous Australia-based construction company, Leighton Asia. However, it was B.E. Billimoria & Company Limited, who completed the construction of Antilia.
The residence was designed by Chicago-based architecture firm, Perkins & Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates. Antilia's construction was completed in 2010 after four years of extensive work.
