Recent land transactions in Mumbai 

Mumbai’s real estate market is experiencing exponential growth in land transactions, driven by several key factors. Firstly, the city’s limited land availability and high demand for housing and commercial spaces make redevelopment projects crucial. Developers are increasingly focusing on these projects to maximize space utilization and cater to the growing population. Additionally, the ongoing infrastructure development in the city, including new transportation networks and commercial hubs, is further adding to the demand for land in strategic locations.

Kalpataru Secures 7.5-Acre Redevelopment Projects in Mumbai Worth Rs 2,000 Crore Revenue

Kalpataru Secures 7.5-Acre Redevelopment Projects in Mumbai

Kalpataru, a prominent real estate developer, has signed contracts for two sizable housing society projects in Chembur and Goregaon in Mumbai. With a combined development area of more than 1.5 million square feet, these projects have a potential revenue of more than ₹2,000 crore. It is anticipated that the projects will be finished 42 months after construction begins.

Kalpataru has signed individual agreements and obtained approvals from current members for the redevelopment of two important housing societies: The five-acre Suman Nagar Housing Society in Chembur will replace ten existing residential buildings with six contemporary towers, providing about 350 new flats and a saleable carpet area share of more than 4.20 lakh sq ft. 

Located close to Link Road and the Bangur Nagar Metro station, the 2.5-acre Goregaon Housing Society consists of the conversion of eight residential structures into three towers with 18 habitable stories. With a saleable carpet area of over 2 lakh square feet, the project can house 200 units. According to documents accessed by CRE Matrix, Kalpataru has already paid roughly ₹27.60 crore in stamp duty to register these agreements.

Since its founding in 1988, Kalpataru has established a solid reputation in Mumbai’s redevelopment industry. The company has completed eight projects in desirable neighborhoods like Byculla, Sion, Bandra, Juhu, Andheri, and Santacruz. The company now oversees four rehabilitation projects in Santacruz, Bandra, and Matunga, and three more are planned for Juhu, Borivali, and Andheri.

The renovation of old housing societies is an important aspect of Mumbai’s real estate market because of the city’s land limits. The Maharashtra government has actively supported such initiatives by introducing policies to ease the financial burden on residents. In 2023, the state government decided that members of housing societies getting redeveloped would only have to pay a small stamp duty of Rs 100 for the permanent housing they were given, while the conveyance laws would charge the principal agreement between the developer and society.

Recent Transactions

Kalpataru’s latest redevelopment ventures in Chembur and Goregaon mark another milestone in Mumbai’s real estate sector. As redevelopment continues to be a driving force in Mumbai’s property market, projects like these pave the way for a more modern and sustainable urban landscape.

In a recent transaction, Kanakia Spaces Realty Pvt Ltd acquired development rights for two old buildings in Borivali, Mumbai, worth ₹208.53 crore.
