Leena Gandhi Tewari, chairman of a pharma company Ltd, has purchased the two ultra-luxury units on floors from 32 to 35 at a cost of Rs 2.83 lakh per sq ft on a carpet area basis. The registration was done earlier this week.
According to documents, Tewari shelled out more than Rs 63.9 crore in stamp duty and GST alone, bringing the total payment for the transaction to just short of Rs 703 crore.
Worli, a sea-facing locality in south-central Mumbai, has become a hub of luxury housing and the deal reflects its supremacy in India’s premium residential realty. With panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and proximity to Bandra, Nariman Point, and upcoming infrastructure such as the coastal road and sea link extensions, Worli is still among India’s favourite locations for its elite class.
Earlier this month, banker Uday Kotak hit the headlines after he purchased a whole sea-facing building on Worli Sea Face for more than Rs 400 crore. Some of the apartments in the deal are said to have closed at about Rs 2.90 lakh per sqft, inclusive of land rights.
Mumbai’s real estate market, particularly in the luxury segment, has seen an unprecedented surge in recent months. The city recorded its highest-ever property registrations in April 2024, driven by a mix of investor sentiment, limited supply in premium zones, and growing appetite for signature homes among India’s wealthiest individuals.
