Twin towers at Bhendi Bazar in Mumbai get the nod

The Bhendi Bazar cluster revamp project has secured the nod to construct two major skyscrapers to accommodate 1,393 families. About 72 old chawls in this two-acre land parcel will make way for two new multi-storey towers of 51 and 52 floors each. Apart from the 1,393 families, 321 commercial establishments will also be accommodated in these twin towers.

The nod clears the way for the rehabilitation of all the old tenants. This will speed up the project significantly and we will be able to re-house all the old tenants in brand new ownership apartments by 2025. Apart from houses, the residents will be provided space for various amenities such as gymnasium, community hall, library, walking tracks and toddler parks in these towers.

The project, spread over an area of 16.5 acres, plans to rehabilitate 3,200 residents and 1,250 commercial establishments. The first phase of the project – Al-Saadah with two towers of 36 and 41 floors – was completed in 2020, where 13 old buildings stood. In this, a total of 738 tenants, which included 610 residential and 128 commercial, were accommodated. In January 2021, the SBUT got approval to demolish 23 buildings by constructing two towers of 53 storey’s each rehabilitating 1,546 tenants, which include 1,278 residential and 268 commercial ones.
