DLF RERA approval

Last month, DLF received approval from the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) for this phase, which will comprise 416 apartments across four towers.

The approved first phase of the project will offer 3, 4, and 5 BHK apartments, along with a limited number of studio units, according to MahaRERA portal.

DLF's re-entry into Mumbai

DLF announced its re-entry into the Mumbai real estate market in July 2023. The company's first project in the city will be developed in partnership with the Trident Group under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority scheme.

In 2005, DLF had purchased 17 acres of prime mill land in Lower Parel at a National Textile Corporation auction for ₹704 crore, the highest bid at the time. After the 2008 economic crisis, it changed its plans and sold the land to Lodha, also known as Macrotech Developers, for ₹2,700 crore in 2012.
