Mill land and real estate
According to local brokers, the transaction highlights the continuing transformation of Mumbai's historic mill lands. Much like erstwhile textile mill properties such as Kamala Mills, Phoenix Mills and Empire Mills, land parcels owned by old textile companies are increasingly being monetised through redevelopment and development-right agreements.
Dadar west
Dadar West continues to remain one of Mumbai's most sought-after residential destinations owing to its central location, established social infrastructure and excellent connectivity to key business districts such as Lower Parel, BKC and Nariman Point. The locality has also emerged as an active redevelopment market, with several ageing buildings and industrial land parcels being redeveloped into premium residential projects.
