Located in Naman Developers’ Naman Xana tower, the duplexes span 22,572 sq. ft. across the 32nd to 35th floors, priced at over ₹2.83 lakh per sq. ft., surpassing even Malabar Hill’s elite rates. The deal highlights soaring demand from pharma magnates post-COVID, with experts noting a trend of ultra-HNIs splurging on trophy homes.
This follows other high-profile buys, including Uday Kotak’s ₹400-crore acquisition of an entire Worli building and Sun Pharma’s Dilip Shanghvi’s family purchasing ₹130-crore apartments nearby. Worli’s sea views and scarcity of premium inventory are driving record deals, said Ritesh Mehta of JLL India. However, analysts caution that while such transactions redefine luxury benchmarks, broader market sustainability remains uncertain.
With pharma wealth fuelling Mumbai’s high-end real estate boom, Worli is now the new hotspot for India’s ultra-rich. The area's strategic location and scenic beauty continue to attract the country's wealthiest individuals, driving up property values and setting new standards in the luxury real estate market.
Despite the record-breaking deal, experts advise that the broader real estate market in Mumbai should be approached with caution. While the ultra-luxury segment is thriving, the overall market still faces challenges such as high property prices, limited affordable housing, and economic uncertainties. Nonetheless, the recent transactions in Worli signal a strong recovery and growing confidence among high-net-worth individuals in the real estate sector.
