The towers were part of real estate company Supertech Limited's Emerald Court residential complex.

[6] It was in 2009, that plans for the twin towers, Apex and Ceyane, were added to the Emerald Court development.

The core team of Emerald Court Owner Residents Welfare Association (ECO RWA) included Uday Bhan Singh Teotia (ex- DIG of CRPF), SK Sharma, Ravi Bajaj, and MK Jain.

[7] Shortly after, in 2010, the builder started digging up more areas, where a shopping complex and garden had been planned.

[10] The Forum For People's Collective Efforts (FPCE), hailed the decision as a landmark ruling in the history of India's real estate industry and mentioned that the case should serve as a deterrent against illegal construction.

The Supreme Court originally set 21 August 2022 as the deadline for the Supertech Twin Towers' demolition.

[18] Experts were concerned about the birds in the area of the demolition[19] and dust pollution due to the debris.

This was the biggest operation and demolition ever done in India[21][22] as this structure was higher than Qutb Minar (72.5 metres).
