Goisu Realty, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Realty & Development, has been awarded plots C-13 and C-19 for Rs 1,360.48 crore (39.61 per cent above the base price) and Rs 1,177.86 crore (40.20 per cent above the base price), respectively. Plot C-80, on the other hand, has been leased to Schloss Bangalore, the operator of the luxury hotels and resorts chain under the ‘The Leela’ brand, for Rs 1,302.16 crore (12.34 per cent above the base price).
The project on plot C-80 is a joint venture of Brookfield with the consortium of Schloss Chanakya and Arliga Ecospace Business Park. The company intends to develop a mixed-use project, including a 250-key luxury hotel on this plot. Meanwhile, Goisu Realty already has two office projects in BKC, with one of them scheduled for completion after 2026.
The developments follow the Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) signed by MMRDA at the World Economic Forum 2025 in Davos, Switzerland, where investments of USD 12 billion were committed by Brookfield and USD 5 billion by Sumitomo for infrastructure development in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The total built-up area of all three plots is 86,321.80 square metres, and MMRDA is expecting the creation of 15,000 high-tech jobs through the developments on these plots.
Recently, Sumitomo entered into an office building development project in BKC through a three-way partnership with Hines, a US-based global real estate investment manager and developer, Japan’s Mitsubishi Estate Company, and Mumbai-based real estate developer Kanakia Group. The project’s gross development value (GDV) is estimated to be around USD 1 billion, according to a source familiar with the matter. The consortium will develop a premium office project in Mumbai’s BKC, India’s costliest office hub, with an investment of Rs 3,000 crore.
The MMRDA’s strategic allocation of these plots is expected to further boost the real estate sector in Mumbai, which has emerged as a pivotal player in the country's development. With an 18 per cent share in national employment, the real estate sector is the largest employment generator after agriculture, significantly buoyed by a robust economy.
These developments are likely to attract more international investors and contribute to the creation of a world-class business environment in BKC, enhancing its status as a premier business district in India.
