1) Leela Bungalow in Mumbai's Juhu

A rare sea-facing, heritage 6BHK Art Deco bungalow named Leela in Mumbai’s Juhu, owned by the Nanavati family, sold on April 22, 2026, to Notandas Realty, an arm of the Mahesh Notandass Jewellers Group, for 221 crore, according to property registration documents reviewed by Hindustan Times Real Estate.

Listed as a Grade IIB heritage property, the bungalow is located on Juhu Tara Road near the iconic Juhu Beach. Built in the 1950s, the property, owned by the Nanavati family (promoters of Nanavati Hospital in Vile Parle), was sold through a bidding process, sources said.

The ground-plus-one bungalow stands on a 1,355 sq metre plot with a built-up area of around 8,480.68 sq ft. It includes a terrace of approximately 2,500 sq ft along with a garden spanning about 5,000 sq ft. Based on the built-up area, the deal translates to roughly 2,60,592 per sq ft, which is lower than Uday Kotak’s 2.89 lakh per sq ft transaction at Worli Sea Face. Calculated on the total plot area of 14,585 sq ft, the price works out to about 1,51,525 per sq ft, according to brokers.
