John Abraham buys ₹84 crore Bandra bungalow as Mumbai trophy home deals gather pace
Mumbai real estate: John Abraham buys Bandra West bungalow for ₹84 crore after acquiring a Khar property for around ₹70 crore in 2023
Amid a surge in trophy bungalow deals driven by the scarcity of developable land in Mumbai's most sought-after neighbourhoods, Bollywood actor John Abraham has emerged as the latest high-profile buyer. He purchased a bungalow in Bandra West for ₹84 crore, according to property registration documents accessed by Liases Foras.
With very few independent bungalows remaining in prime localities such as Bandra, Juhu and Malabar Hill, each transaction commands a significant scarcity premium, making these properties among the city's most coveted real estate assets.
According to the property registration documents, the bungalow is located on St. Martin Road in Bandra West. The property comprises a 1,017.60 sq metre plot and an existing bungalow with a built-up area of around 193.12 sq metres, along with an outhouse of about 31.50 sq metres. The registered consideration for the transaction is ₹84 crore.
The conveyance deed for the transaction was registered on July 14, 2026, with the actor paying ₹5.04 crore in stamp duty, the documents show.
The freehold property was purchased from Naushir Eruch Divitre, Fredon Eruch Divitre, Crystal Firoz Divitre and Eruch Firoz Divitre through a registered conveyance deed.
